Power Branding

If you are just starting in business, then you are probably having a hard time connecting all the dots of why branding is important. However, here are real-life examples to help you in understanding deeper what branding can do for your business.These companies executed branding in a perfect way which completely took their business to the next level.

LUSH

It is safe to say that this brand has many competitors but it has definitely made a name for itself in the industry. It is a top cosmetics and personal care brand that has a huge loyal audience who keep on buying from them. So, what is it that makes people keep coming to them?

Their biggest selling point is that they sell handmade products. This is why they have a huge audience of people who are into products that are pure and natural such as handmade products. Factory produced products are usually contaminated and this is how Lush sets itself apart from its competitors.

Instead of giving a luxurious image as many cosmetic brands do, this one differentiates itself with its natural, warm, and socially responsible approach. They also use the power of great visuals to enhance the look of their brand.

Recently, they also introduced a “Naked” cosmetic line which had no packaging at all! This means that they were reducing thousands of tonnes of waste by switching to selling products without packaging.

Here is how Lush is executing this strategy perfectly and something you can learn from too:

· They know their audience and spend time and effort in understanding what appeals to them

· They offer a unique in-store experience that you won’t get anywhere else
