If you have never
written a mission statement for your business, doing so can help you
create your brand. Your mission statement is a written description
of your business and what you plan to do. For instance, if you are
an event planner, you may have a mission statement such as, “Our
mission is to help people plan fun, creative, cost-effective
events”.
Once you have taken the time to write your mission statement, take
note of the things that come to mind when you read over it. Given
the above example, it is obvious that you want to be known for
planning very festive, creative events that are also affordable.
Now that you have that part figured out, you need to figure out how
to incorporate that into your logo and slogan. Some possible slogans
could be, “Planning fun and creative events on a budget”, or, “Fun
and creative events that don’t break the bank.” When it comes to
your logo, you may want to have something in bright colors or a
whimsical design to communicate the fact that your business is about
having fun and being creative.
Once you have created your brand, you will want to start
establishing yourself as an expert in that field. Using the above
example, you could start writing how-to articles and special
reports, and even start giving speeches or teaching seminars that
provide information on planning events that are fun, creative, and
cost-effective.
You will start to notice that others will see you as their go-to
person when they are in need of your service or product. This will
bring in new business, as well as repeat customers.
