Brand Strategy
Claim Your Space in Customers’ Hearts and Minds
It’s tough to build long-term, profitable customer relationships if your brand is generic, impersonal, or worse, irrelevant. But many retailers fail to invest the time to define what they stand for and who they want to be in the marketplace. Without this awareness, retail brands miss out on the opportunity to be known for something that matters deeply to their customers. And without this awareness, your brand is vulnerable to losing market share and profit erosion.
A successful brand strategy begins with determining what makes your retail organization uniquely valuable from your customers’ point of view. Through in-depth interviews, research, and a deep dive into core competencies, corporate culture, and marketplace dynamics, you will uncover the foundational elements of your business. And you will learn how to best leverage them across every business decision to bring a meaningful, memorable, and ownable brand to life.
With the Impact 21 Brand Strategy framework, you will clearly define your:
Brand Soul. Capture your company’s purpose and competitive position and define where you will win against your competitors.

Category Roles and Strategies Framework. Develop structure that guides and optimizes pricing, promotional, and assortment decisions to reflect and reinforce the brand.
