The One Habit You Need to Grow Your Brand

Whether you are a new start-up or have been around for decades, you probably have one of the same marketing objectives as most businesses – growing the brand. Building your brand is the only way to take limited popularity and convert it into long-term success. It’s what turns a passing fad into a legitimate product or service.

While the need for brand growth is obvious, how to achieve it can be a little trickier. Take a note from branding experts by incorporating one simple habit into your everyday schedule. This habit allows you to engage with your customers in a truly meaningful way while also gaining helpful insight into what works (and what doesn’t) with your brand and product.

I like to call this habit the five-minute rule. The basic premise is to take five minutes every day to reach out to as many customers as you can using a one-on-one approach.

Why the Five-Minute Rule Works

The five-minute rule works because it harnesses the power of interpersonal relationships. Customers feel more connection to a brand when they have engaged with it. These connections go beyond the typical to include a more personal touch in your approach to customer relations. This leads to results that include better brand loyalty and a more dedicated consumer base. Its positive effects are long-lasting creating to a more sustainable brand growth.

Simple Ways to Implement the Five-Minute Rule

When it comes to ways to use the five-minute rule the possibilities are endless. Just keep in mind you only want to implement practices that include one-on-one engagements.

Here are just a few ideas:

  • A follow-up email on a customer’s purchase
  • Responding directly to a customer’s comment on Facebook or Instagram
  • Retweeting with a comment
  • Responding to comments on your blog

When working to grow and build your brand consider using strategies that offer more engagement with your customers. For further assistance partner with a trusted marketing firm such as Grand Marketing Solutions. Our services include proven strategies for increasing brand awareness.

    Grand Marketing Solutions has been very effective for us. They are the right size firm with the right mix of talents. They spruced up our logo, redesigned our web site, printed new literature, and worked smoothly with our people.
    - Bill
    Before starting Business Image Magazine, I met with dozens of graphic designers/printers and worked with a couple before I met Karl Hofmeier of Grand Marketing Solutions. I heard Karl speak at a networking event and was impressed with his expertise. Since then, Grand Marketing Solutions has become my one stop shop for marketing advice, graphic design, printing, website design and maintenance. The service is second to none and I am happy to refer all my clients and prospects to him.

    We are proud to be partners with GMS. As an entrepreneur and small business owner, I value a relationship with a partner who is cut from the same mold. Grand Marketing Solutions understands what it takes to keep our company competitive in a ever changing market. They ask the right questions and treat our business as it was their own. With Grand Marketing Solutions as our partner we can focus on our core business while they execute on our marketing strategy. We've been with a handful of marketing firms over the years. Some were large, some were small, but none of them have had the impact that Grand Marketing Solutions has.
