5 Tips to Make Your Brand More Memorable
A strong brand is one of the most important marketing tools you can have in your arsenal. It's even more important now that we're living in a world that's more flooded with advertisements than ever before. But how do you make sure yours stands out from the crowd? Here are five tips to help you create memorable brands:
Understand your customer
The first step to making your brand more memorable is understanding your customer.
This may seem obvious, but there are a few things to consider:
- Know the market and competition. What other brands are already in this space? What are their strengths and weaknesses? How does your brand compare with them? If you’re looking for a new market or audience for your product, research this ahead of time so that you can tailor it specifically for them.
- Understand how customers will interact with the brand—and what they expect from it. This includes everything from the physical appearance of the product itself (packaging, design) to how frequently they interact with it (the frequency at which they buy).
- Understand what makes them tick (or why they use something like yours).
- Understand the wants and needs of your target market.
- How do they get these needs met before using something like yours came along?
- How will they experience yours differently than others' offerings?
Determine how you want to be perceived
The first step in building a memorable brand is to determine how you want to be perceived. This means understanding your brand's purpose, what messages you want to communicate, and how you want the world to perceive you.
Some questions that will help with this:
- What do I stand for?
- What does my brand represent?
- How do I want customers or potential customers to feel about me?
- What type of relationship do I want my customers and prospects to develop with me over time - based on our interactions together (or lack thereof).
Once you know what type of brand perception you want, then it's time to create your brand voice. This means defining how you want to communicate with customers and prospects through the words, tone, and language that are used in all marketing communications.
Tell a Brand Story
Brand stories are a great way to create a memorable brand. The story should be authentic and relevant to your audience. It also needs to be relatable, not only in terms of how it relates to your customers, but also how it can connect with them emotionally as well. You want the story you tell about your business or product to be memorable so they can tell others.
To do this, the best way is by using storytelling techniques that make the message more engaging for the listener or reader; this will make them more likely listen/read what you have say about your products/services next time around too!
Create a memorable business name
Before you can come up with a memorable brand, you need to have an easy-to-remember business name. But it's not as simple as just choosing any random word. You want to choose a name that is both memorable and easy to spell so customers can easily find your business online and offline. Your potential customers should also be able to pronounce it without stumbling over the syllables.
If these requirements sound too demanding for your taste, don't worry—you're not alone! Most people who choose names for their businesses aren't professional linguists or grammarians either; they just want a catchy, memorable name that works well with their brand image and targets their target audience right on point! So how do they do this? They follow some simple tips such as:
- Keep it simple
- Make sure it's easy to spell and pronounce
- Watch out for double meanings
- Choose a name that's easy to remember

Make sure you're consistent
You've probably heard the saying, "You only get one chance to make a first impression." It's true—your branding is how people will remember you and your business. While it might seem like a lot of work to create an impactful brand design and make sure everything stays consistent across all platforms, it's quite simple if you keep in mind these tips:
- Consistency is key. Make sure that everything about your brand is consistent including the quality of products and services, how you interact with customers, messaging, and visual marketing items such as logos (even if they're just sketches). Having a strong style guide helps remind everyone on the team what elements are part of your brand identity so they can apply them consistently when creating new content or designing marketing materials.
- Be consistent with your business name around all platforms - use the same brand name everywhere. This includes domains (.coms), social handles (@yournamehere), email addresses (yourname@yournamehere) etc.
