1. Being Unique
Being unique separates you from your competition especially if you have a USP ( Unique Selling Point) if you see Apple, they are very visible and they are a really attractive brand. They are known for their innovation and beautiful slick designs. This sets a standard within the industry and they have become the leaders in their field. Domino’s Pizza became leaders in their industry because of their service.they promised that if they did not deliver within 30 minutes your Pizza will be free. All good unique selling points.2. Audience Knowledge
Having a thorough knowledge of the make up of their target market is the mark of a good brand. Successful businesses have a specific target audience which resonates with their products, for example B&Q.They have an understanding that their target market providing a path for the tone and the goals of the marketing strategy, as well as the total identity of the brand.

Returning customers expect the same level of quality and service from your business.restaurants are a prime example where reputation and consistency are paramount. Inconsistency will be a negative force on your business. With so much competition in industry as a whole customers are looking for good service and value for money.this is where your brand name will convey a strong message of consistency, for example, Marks & Spencer.4. Passion
Yesterday i attended a presentation given by my friend Lee Kavanagh of Brand You Creative. I witnessed pure passion.The way he spoke was emotional, not robotic and he was able to answer tricky questions because its his business and he is passionate about what he does. Businesses will buy into you, not necessarily the product, obviously that is important. Consumers can be your greatest tool for marketing. If they are as enthusiastic as you, the word will spread.Your Brand name will be your headline.
