Positioning & BrandingA Brand is a promise of what you are going to deliver.

Positioning is how you describe what you are selling.

Destination Branding is directed toward the outside visitor or investor. Its focus is on luring new cash into the local economy.

Community Branding is directed at reflecting the internal community’s perception of themselves. Its focus is on creating a self identity of the residents.

Page 61: JDRT Positioning Branding

Positioning & BrandingProduct and Services Branding

• Follow the branding principles

• Tie in with a destination brand when possible

• Become known for something special

• If the product is not unique, make the service special

Page 63: JDRT Positioning Branding

Positioning & BrandingSuccessful Brands follow these rules:

1. Brands are perceptions – what people thing of you – NOT what you think of yourself or what you say in the market place.

Brands are determined by your customers, so deliver what you promised, or more.

Page 64: JDRT Positioning Branding

Positioning & Branding2. Branding is the art of differentiation. Setting

yourself apart from everyone else.

Be unique, or be the best.

This matters only within your intended market area.

Page 65: JDRT Positioning Branding

Positioning & Branding3. Brands are specific.

The narrower the niche the better.

Stay focused.

Offering everything or many things, dilutes your brand.

Become known for ONE THING. Then add to it.

Page 66: JDRT Positioning Branding

Positioning & Branding4. Brands are built on products or services, not

marketing. Marketing is use for positioning.

Many businesses and destinations fashion a new marketing campaign, logo or slogan and wonder why it did not work. Because brands are a promise, they only become valuable if the product or service delivers.

Focus on a superior product and your marketing becomes easier.

Page 67: JDRT Positioning Branding

Positioning & Branding5. Brands are earned through performance. You

don’t roll out a brand like it’s a campaign.

Creating a successful brand takes a long time. The value of the brand grows with positive experiences of the visitors.

Page 68: JDRT Positioning Branding

Positioning & Branding6. Tourism brands must be experiential. That means

activities, not things to look at.

Location-based branding is dead, unless you are Mt. Rushmore or the Grand Canyon. Visitors choose what they want to do, THEN where to do it.

History is not a good basis for a brand because it is difficult to make experiential.

Page 69: JDRT Positioning Branding

Positioning & Branding7. Position your brand through public relations.

Word of mouth and third party testimony is essential. Use advertising to maintain your position.

Remember, your brand is not what you say it is, so advertising does not build brands.

More than ever, because of the internet, travelers can get third party opinions about your product or destination.

Page 70: JDRT Positioning Branding

Positioning & Branding8. Build your destination brand on feasibility, not

sentiment or public consensus.

Successful destination brands must lure visitors and investors. Publicly developed brands usually fail when they focus on things that are not important to the visitor, but rather to the resident. They often are not specific enough, different from other towns, or experiential.

Page 71: JDRT Positioning Branding

Positioning & Branding9. Build your destination brand from the grassroots.

Destination branding efforts that are forced from the top down by municipal governments or DMO’s don’t succeed as often as those developed by a handful of local “champions” and “doers” who work tirelessly to engage all the many participants necessary to make a brand pervasive throughout a community.

Page 72: JDRT Positioning Branding

Positioning & Branding10. Even if you do nothing, you still have a brand. It

just may not be the one you want.

Because consumers decide what your brand is, your product, service or destination has a brand.

Do you really know what your brand is?
