Build Brand Authority
In Your Industry

Working to increase brand authority can open highly beneficial
marketing avenues for your business. The main result is that trust is
formed between consumers in your industry and your brand. Due to this,
branding solutions are worth pursuing, as brand authority can be
leveraged to increase revenue through customer loyalty.

What is Brand Authority?

Brand

Brand authority is just that, the authority which your brand wields within its industry. Eventually, new and existing customers will come to you because they trust your brand to deliver what they need.

Covering industry topics with high quality, investigative, and data-driven content is an excellent way to increase brand authority. Although, developing brand authority doesn’t happen overnight. Consumers in your industry decide when you obtain brand authority, so it takes consistency for your brand to earn their trust.

That being said, brand authority is hard to quantify. You will have brand authority if the public thinks you possess expertise in your field. However, do you have more brand authority than your competitors? You won’t be able to get a concrete answer without getting data of all their loyal customers. Regardless, branding solutions can be utilised to drive your business forward.

Why Brand Authority is Essential?

authority

Brand authority is essential as it can be a factor in driving business growth. If consumers have trust and confidence in your brand, they’ll likely feel that spending money with you is a sensible choice. Brand authority thus increases the effectiveness of online and social marketing, as your brand name becomes a hallmark of the industry.

While other marketing strategies, such as lead generation, will bring potential customers to your doorstep, strong brand authority will help convert them to paying customers. Furthermore, these customers will then be more likely to be loyal to your brand and make long term contributions.

Know Your Brand First

Knowing your brand and presenting a consistent image will create a reputation for your brand. This can create a sense of expertise around a specific sub-sector within your industry. For instance, a luxury car brand can be equally successful as a sports car brand.

When building brand authority, it also pays to be acutely aware of how your brand fits within the industry at large. When your content feeds into the brand image you’ve been cultivating, your brand becomes more memorable to consumers. Smart branding solutions are worth investing in to execute this.

Extensive-SEO

An excellent path towards building trust in your audience is to show transparency. It will be perfectly natural for your brand to have pros and cons compared to other companies. You don’t have to include weaknesses in your content, but focusing on what your brand does well will go far.

The-highest

If your brand is part of a niche market or specialist subject area, it’s essential to recognise the nature of your brand audience. In this case, they’re likely to have a level of knowledge about the industry that should be respected in your brand’s content. Showing respect to your brand’s audience is usually reciprocated.

Content Creation & Distribution

A well-established marketing technique is creating content and marketing it to an appropriate, brand-specific audience. This has become a popular inbound strategy when considering online branding solutions in particular. The goal is to incentivise customers to engage in activity that benefits your business.

Examples of profitable customer actions include buying your products, using your services, sharing your content online and recommending your brand to potential customers. Customers will be more likely to do these things if they view your brand as possessing authority.

The type of content used and the way it is distributed will vary depending on the brand. That’s why a brand solutions company like Goodman Lantern will tailor their to appeal to the client’s brand audience. This aligns with inbound marketing methodology, as it is designed to draw customers in.

Social Media

Promote Videos & Social Media

Social media is undoubtedly one of the most powerful marketing tools available to businesses looking to increase brand authority. Opportunities to connect with customers, along with business opportunities, present themselves regularly on social media.

If your brand has an established online presence, it’ll be easier for potential customers to be exposed to your content. Over time, with enough consistency and saturation on social channels, your brand will become well known amongst people interested in the industry.

Promoting video content is another avenue towards building brand authority. As a form of content, videos can disseminate information very efficiently. They can combine written and visual aspects to act as a presentation on a topic. In doing so, video content is far more digestible for consumers than a long article.

Create Case Studies

Creating case studies is an effective way to increase brand authority through marketing methods. There’s almost no better way to convince a consumer to trust your brand than by having someone similar to them recommend you. A friend or family member is even better!

As you might guess, case studies are a great place to include quotes from previous customers and clients. This backs up any claims you might have made in other pieces of content regarding the expertise behind your brand.

The existence of case studies shows potential customers that you have experience. In terms of inbound marketing, having links to this content will serve you well. If a consumer visits your brand website and sees evidence of case studies, they’ll know you possess knowledge not just about the industry but about how to please clients.

Podcasting

Podcasting

Podcasting adds an extra facet to the sort of content your brand is putting out. First of all, a podcast comes with a built-in schedule for releasing content that will be known by your audience. This signals to potential customers when you will be releasing content, so they know when and where to look for it.

Secondly, a podcast is a form of content that puts a relatable, human voice behind your brand. Having a range of content in terms of formality is essential too. People are more likely to put their trust in another person instead of a faceless brand.

Finally, podcasts often discuss impactful or newsworthy topics during their episodes. As a result, they are accessible formats in which to demonstrate your brand’s expertise. Putting one or more of your industry experts into a podcast will help achieve this.
