Consciousness is not just a trend but a path to a more sustainable future. You know it, and so do your people because they choose small, conscious brands. That may be the reason you started your business in the first place. Is what you have been doing so far enough to sustain your brand when it picks up the growth?

Focus areas for your conscious brand

It’s time to go from a homegrown, conscious small business to cementing your part in people’s sustainable lifestyle. Here are a few actionable steps to help you grow organically and reach more hearts:

• Focus on your visual presence to create a lasting first impression. It’s where your brand identity plays its part. Whether starting your business or rebranding, getting in tune with your audience is essential. Just because you identify your brand as conscious doesn’t mean your brand design shouldn’t be dull and neutral. No! We are getting tired of this stereotype. It can be as bold and bright as your brand’s character and the people it attracts. A lot of these people might as well be the younger generation. 

• Associate with your target audience to anchor your conscious brand in their minds. It is, indeed, where brands are born in the first place. You are not only selling products or services. Your brand offers a beautiful transformation every human being seeks. When you address that, they record your brand and how they associate with it.

• Take charge of your messaging by clarifying the core idea and cutting through the noise. Putting across a simple, direct, and straightforward message helps your customers understand you easily. They stop wasting their time in an attempt to understand you. Keeping consistent with your message and promise is as important. It will instill trust and reliability in your conscious brand.

Brand messaging

Ultimately, it’s the messaging that sets your brand apart. It would help if you dived deep into your brand strategy to clarify it. It is the foundation of all the other brand components, such as brand identity, social media, and marketing campaigns. Here is what to avoid when crafting your messaging:

01. Talking about what makes you better than others on the market. “Better” is highly relative and comparable. Starting with who your brand is for can be more effective.

02. Focusing solely on your products and services. The healthier way to reach your people’s hearts is by talking to their inner ambitions. Tell them why and how your brand helps them become someone better.

03. Coming across as perfect. Perfection is unattainable and unrelatable. It makes more sense to leave room for open communication and customer feedback. That way, you show them your empathy and invite them to build your brand alongside you.

I believe in genuine brands that strive to make a positive change in the world and life. Conscious brands know themselves better and make it easy for their people to connect with them from the get-go. Get in touch to get deeper on that. I want to create a change with you. My tools are brand identity and web design.
