When we think of branding and marketing we usually think of logos, website, social media and messaging. The key to all of it being successful is one word: Empathy.

Empathy based marketing has three benefits:

1. It helps us understand our audience.

2. It gives us clarity of message.

3. It helps us stand out from the competition.

How do we stand out with empathy based marketing?

1. Discover and develop customer personas.

2. Chart out the customer journey.

3. Overlay the emotional highs and low along the journey

4.Build your processes and marketing around your customers and their journey.

3. Helps you stand out with clarity and confidence

We've been discussing those who have "It" and those who don't....what makes the difference. Some way that "they" were born with it....we don't agree. All of us are born with some sort of talent....it's what we do after we're both that determines who has "It".

Here are a few traits of those who possess "It"

1. Never stop learning. They become average and they keep going....always pushing to be better.

2. They practice self-control and have self-awareness.

3. They realize that everything matters.

4. They live out everything with authenticity.

It's no longer enough to get a business license, open your doors, promote yourself and watch as the business comes in. Competition is more fierce than ever before both locally and globally (thanks to the internet). The best way to stand out is to know your audience.

The brands that make their messaging, content and marketing about their audience are the brands that win. These brands create loyalty and transform us from consumers to evangelists.

Here are four key questions to think through:

1. Do I have an audience?

2. Who is my audience?

3. What is their problem and how do I solve it?

4. What is my action plan?
