Once you have a solidified brand, you will know exactly who you are looking to target. This is key. Knowing your audience and where they can be reached is essential before starting any brand awareness campaign.

Depending on where your audience is, a combined inbound and outbound marketing strategy that utilizes the appropriate tactics and channels for reaching your target market is recommended.

At Palmer we generally combine several or all of the following tactics:

Email Marketing

Using a list of contacts that have opted in their email address into your CRM system; send targeted offers and/or relevant and helpful information about your industry or product. It’s important to not be sales-ey in these emails but rather present something of value for the end user. That impression will last much longer than a sales pitch.

Video

An informational video that is featured on your website and then sent out through email marketing, social media and blogging is a great way to spread information about your product or service while subconsciously impressing your brand on the viewer.

Social Media

Social media can be tricky. It’s appropriate to first decide which channels would be best for your brand to be on. If your objective is to raise brand awareness, being highly active on Twitter is usually a good place to start.

Social Media Advertising

Advertising on Facebook, LinkedIn and/or Twitter may be a good solution for your company to kick your brand awareness campaign up a notch and get in front of a larger target audience. All the platforms have great targeting options. Tip: before investing in social media advertising, make sure you have an established social media presence and are engaging with the fans that you do have.

Banner Advertisements

Banner ads are a great way to get your brand repeatedly in front of a target audience. The design of your banner ad is key, as you want to make sure it attracts peoples’ attention.

Negotiating Added Value

If you have a larger budget and do decide to go with an advertising agency that opts for managing your brand awareness campaign, make sure the agency has a good reputation with media buyers. Signing on with an agency that can get you more bang for your buck is one of the best reasons to utilize an agency.

There are many different ways to raise brand awareness for your company. Like any marketing strategy, make sure you set obtainable goals and know your target market.

From there, determine your budget. Once you’ve determined your budget and know where your target market is hanging out you’ll be good to set up your brand awareness campaign and begin your marketing efforts!
