hey everybody welcome back i want to talk to you about brand awareness in particular seven ways you can increase your brand awareness i talk a lot about the three r's so being recognized remembered and revered and brand awareness sits squarely in that recognized piece do people do customers do visitors do prospects do they recognize or do they know that you exist what do users know about your brand and when users come across your brand out there in the brand of sphere do they recognize that it's you this can include things like do they recognize your name do you recognize your color palette do they recognize your brand id your products your services your ads your content having great brand awareness is people having a deeper familiarity with your brand with your products with your services with your brand design with your brand's goals with its history with its mission having great brand awareness can teach you things like the effectiveness of your brand designer the effectiveness of your marketing or how people are receiving you how much you differ for your from your competition how well they can tell you apart so the first thing you can do to increase brand awareness is you can partner with other brands now brands partner up and create partnerships all the time some examples of this are like red bull and gopro or apple and mastercard or pottery barn and william sonoma or spotify and starbucks these are all brand partnerships and by st when you're starting out it's really beneficial to establish partnerships with other brands because what you're doing is by showing up with that brand and giving them some value you're bringing your audience to their audience and you're leveraging their audience to build your audience so make sure that you're engaging with brands that have similar purposes and similar values and similar lifestyle aspirations you want to co-publish with them so you can co-publish blog posts or articles you can do you know video interviews you can do podcast interviews you can share or show up in the same place and give value to their audience by developing those partnerships it can really build your brand and your brand awareness much faster the second way you can build brand awareness is by guest posting now you can't jump right in and write for huffington post right away you're going to have to probably start small and build credibility over time and write for larger and larger publications you want to put in your research you want to research brands that have similar audiences and similar targets and then pitch them with content you really want to do your research well because if you do you're going to have better results for your efforts and your pitches and so write a pitch email include a sample headline of the type of content that you would write or links to previous content that you've written for other brands and then pitch them with your idea and make sure to keep the pitch short because they get dozens of these emails a day and no one got time for that the third way to build brand awareness is to leverage social so people won't share your content unless you ask them to but you want to make sure that you're developing shareable content so things like graphics and infographics and quotes make sure that you're focusing on really hot topics in your industry and you shorten links so it's really easy for people to share and then you want to make sure that you engage you want to answer comments you want to ask questions you want to really engage with your audience you want to be authentic and not salesy because if you incorporate your social into your website facebook feed instagram feed it's going to drive people to your social and then drive up your brand awareness you want to share other people's content so they'll share yours they'll return that favor and then your content is getting exposed again to their audience and that's building that level of brand awareness and exposure so the fourth way to increase brand awareness is infographics everyone loves infographics ninety percent of the information that's transmitted to the human brain is transmitted visually and also we process images sixty thousand times faster than we process text so using captioned images is a great way to communicate information very quickly you want to visualize the information that you know and there's some great services for creating infographics things like visme and vengage and canva and piktochart i'll put those links in the description they're great services that make it really easy for you to develop infographics and so when you do it you want to promote the type of work that you do kind of innovative ideas the kind of resources and data that would be helpful to your customer targets or to your avatar and then you want to make sure that you push it out to the category of business that you're in and then finally you want to make sure if you're developing infographics that you brand them i can't tell you how many infographics i see out there that are being shared all over the place that don't have any branding on them the people who develop the infographic did not put their url on it or any contact information or even their brand name or their logo that's how you increase brand awareness your content getting shared with a wider audience so you want to make sure that your brand gets out there with the information that you're producing so the fifth way to increase brand awareness is publishing content publishing content is probably one of the best ways to increase brand awareness it's shareable it's evergreen so it lasts forever it increases your credibility it establishes you as a thought leader you can repurpose your content across a bunch of different platforms so if you write an article you can turn it into a podcast or you do a video you can turn it into an article you can promote your industry expertise you can champion trends you can champion innovations you can share resources so apps and services and tutorials you can give all sorts of value to your audience and that is going to make them like you better and make them want to share your stuff and that is going to increase brand awareness the sixth way to increase brand awareness is to leverage friend referrals people trust their friends my good friend chris ducker calls p2p so people to people marketing people are much more apt to follow a recommendation from a friend than they would from any kind of brand advertising there's a geometric growth geometric progression of growth in asking and leveraging friend referrals for instance if you have a tribe of 10 people and you ask them to share what you want them to share with four of their friends suddenly you've turned that into 40 brand impressions so you want to offer possibly if you can an incentive so download or some sort of valuable content to the people you're asking to share for to their friends for you dropbox did this in a really effective way when they were starting off they offered free disk space to anybody who brought in or recommended them to a friend they gave you 500 megabytes of disk space and they capped it at 1
Thanks for your comment Annika Asfour, have a nice day.

studies show that about one in five people are willing to try a new product as long as it comes from a brand that they like so how do you know how much people like your brand by analyzing your brand sentiment more details inside the video hey guys this year from brand24 and today I want to talk about brand sentiment so your brand sentiment is all about the attitude or feelings that people have towards your brand which can be positive negative or neutral basically it measures how much people like your brand which can have a pretty significant effect on your sales and customer loyalty so a lot of businesses will attract traditional metrics that revolve around tangible numbers instead of feelings and they tend to emphasize quantities such as your number of likes shares comments followers views mentions and so on this is a really good place to start since these figures will tell you a lot about the kind of content that gets people to interact with your brand but audiences can always decide to interact for a number of reasons maybe your content make them feel happy so they liked it or maybe it brought up feelings of nostalgia which made them want to share it or it could be that there was something about your ad that just kind of annoyed people this also tends to trigger responses and reactions so knowing how people are responding to your brand is just as important as knowing how many and that's why looking at the numbers is a really good start but it shouldn't stop there it's really important to extend your focus beyond the quantity of all those interactions and consider the quality especially since we all prefer to buy from brands that we know and like which makes factors like your brand awareness and brand sentiment extremely relevant so measuring brand awareness tells you how familiar consumers are with your brand and how well they can tell it apart from all the other brands out there offering similar products and services brand sentiment on the other hand shows you how people feel about your brand and how much they like it so to measure or analyze public sentiment towards your brand you want to look beyond your quantity of interactions and focus on metrics of quality so this means paying attention to all the emotions surrounding your brand like do they contain positive or negative sentiment just the message that you're sending me people feel good about supporting your business so measuring sentiment is like it's an analytical process which makes it a bit more time-consuming especially if you try to do it manually but it's what allows companies and businesses to see how people are really responding to all their marketing PR and branding activities and whether they're sending the right message so measuring brand sentiment actually goes hand-in-hand with measuring brand awareness since you need to track mentions of your brand to do both like you can use a social listening or media monitoring tool like brand 24 to see how many mentions you have for measuring brand awareness and then you can use the internal sentiment filter to separate these mentions by a positive negative or neutral sentiment this is extra helpful if you want to track public sentiment towards a brand in more than one language brand 24 provides sentiment analysis for 93 languages currently so in general sentiment analysis is something that uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to classify texts Leakey mentions of your brand as positive negative or neutral natural language processing algorithms automatically identify the sentiment behind your mentions so that you don't have to do it manually but human language is a complex matter and it can be hard sometimes even for people to pick up on sarcasm or subtle nuances let alone man-made algorithms so for example most language algorithms would classify this mention as positive even though love it is being used in a negative way to describe how this person feels about their computer equipment falling apart fortunately most people don't use sarcasm very often so it's not something that would have a huge impact on your sentiment analysis it just it illustrates the importance of context now analyzing brand sentiment lets you see the bigger picture of how the public feels about your brand's which helps you manage your reputation improve engagement with your customers and of course create sales funnels that convert better in general if your brand's sentiment is positive then you know you're on the right track but if you see a lot of negative opinions about your brand then you know it's time to switch to public relations mode and look closely at the context of those negative mentions so that you can take care of any potential PR situations which is probably something that you would only if you were monitoring your brand regularly in the first place alright thanks so much for watching guys if you have any questions or something to add about brand sentiment just let me know in the comment section below and if you have found this video helpful feel free to like share and subscribe to our YouTube channel where I will be sharing new tips on how to
