Business branding strategies might not produce ‘results’ for many reasons – such as if you have a bad product, unreasonable pricing or do mindless marketing.

Digital branding is tricky and there are several ways you can slip while strategizing your marketing campaigns. This article discusses 7 goof-ups – the basic ones, to help you realize if you’re committing them without even knowing.

While you might get the primary attention with a creative logo or crafty content, it would not take you further. Customer is king and quality is given supreme importance in the modern marketplace. Chances are that your brand might not work if you do not care about the quality of your product and provide sloppy customer service.

1. Hooked on to Creativity?

You can never sell your products to everyone in the market. Eventually, your product would be lost in a maze of similar, but more targeted brand names. While you are on the web, advertise and position yourself strategically so as to tap niche markets.

2. Trying to please everyone

Given the speed of the net, it might seem convenient for you to incorporate frequent changes in your product. Not doing so will jeopardize your marketing and the business as a whole. Try to maintain a consistent image of your product so that it leaves a mark in the customers' minds. Confusing them even a bit may pronounce doom for your business.

3. Lack of consistency

Do not consider research and surveys only as an aid to your campaigns. Research is extremely time-specific and may not hold true after a little while. Often, real time methods such as instant online polls, chat and interviews might prove beneficial in collecting opinions, preferences and consumer data.

4. Relying solely on research

Remember that your marketing message should be easy to understand even if your product is meant for professionals. Breaking away from the list of jargon and expressing the message crisply requires a bit of effort but definitely worth the pain.

5. Using industry jargon

Many advertisers, in an effort to stand out, overlook the basic qualities of their product and engage the customers in believing that what they are offering is absolutely unique.

However, this drives the consumer's attention from the basic purpose the product is supposed to serve. Highlighting special attributes is necessary but not at the cost of the product's basic features. For instance, if you sell detergents, first stress on the fact that it makes your clothes spotlessly clean before mentioning its other unique qualities.

6. Ignoring basic features

If you are not tracking your online campaigns, you are probably on the wrong track. Make an effort to capture every detail of the market's reaction. Track and monitor your ads' performance regularly, how well they are performing and where on the net. This will also help you to decide your budget accordingly. Learn what did not work and what you can do to overcome it.
