Defining the Brand
1. The Brand Promise = At its core, a brand is a promise to consumers. What will consumers get when they purchase a product or service under your brand umbrella? The brand promise incorporates more than just those tangible products and services. It also includes the feelings that consumers get when they use your products and services.
2. Brand Perception = Brands are built by consumers, not companies. Ultimately, it’s the way consumers perceive a brand that defines it. It doesn’t matter what you think your brand promises. The only thing that matters is how consumers perceive your brand. You need to work to develop consumer perceptions that accurately reflect your brand, or your brand is doomed to limited growth potential.
3. Brand Expectations = Based on your brand promise, consumers develop expectations for your brand. When they pull their hard-earned money out of their pockets and purchase your products or services, they assume their expectations for your brand will be met. If your brand doesn’t meet consumer expectations in every interaction, consumers will become confused by your brand and turn away from it in search of another brand that does meet their expectations in every interaction.

Defining the Brand
4. The Brand Persona - Rather than asking, “What is a brand?” a better question might be, “Who is a brand?”
Every brand has a persona. Think of your brand as a person. What is that person like? What can you expect when you interact with that person?
From appearance to personality and everything in between, your brand persona is one that consumers will evaluate and judge before they do business with you.

Strategic Marketing
Start with Defining A Corporate Mission and Corporate Vision
A mission statement declares an organization's purpose, or why it exists. That often includes a general description of the organization, its function, and its objectives.
A mission statement often informs the vision statement, which describes where the company aspires to be in the future. These two statements are often combined to clearly define the organization's reason for existing and outlook for internal and external audiences like employees, partners, board members, consumers, and shareholders

Corporate Mission -=
24
LIFE IS NOT PERFECT. LIFE IS NOT EASY. LIFE IS GOOD. We see it when we believe it. Each one of us has a choice: to focus our energy on obstacles or opportunities. To fixate on our problems, or focus on solutions. We can harp on what’s wrong with the world (see most news media), or we can cultivate what’s right with the world. What we focus on grows. That’s why the Life is Good community shares one simple, unifying mission: to spread the power of optimism. Optimism is not irrational cheerfulness or “blind” positivity. It’s a pragmatic strategy for approaching life. Optimism empowers us to explore the world with open arms and an eye toward solutions, progress, and growth. It also makes life a hell of a lot more fun. Optimism also enables us to access the ten most important tools we have for living a happy and fulfilling life. We call them the Life is Good Superpowers. But unlike X-ray vision, bullet speed, or Herculean strength, they are accessible to us all. The Life is Good Superpowers can help you overcome obstacles, drive forward with greater purpose, and enjoy the ride of life.

Patagonia
Patagonia: "Build the best product, cause no unnecessary harm, use business to inspire and implement solutions to the environmental crisis."
Patagonia's mission statement combines both the values that bring them market success (building safe, high-quality products) and the values that contribute to a better world (philanthropic efforts to help the environment). For the people behind the brand, "a love of wild and beautiful places demands participation in the fight to save them." In the name of this cause, the company donates time, services, and at least 1% of its sales to hundreds of grassroots environmental groups around the world.
If your company has a similar focus on growing your business and giving back, think about talking about both the benefit you bring to customers and the value you want to bring to a greater cause in your mission statement.

Net Promoter Score
Assessing customer loyalty and the value perception of your brand
Integrated Marketing

Net Promoter Score
The Net Promoter Score is an index ranging from -100 to +100 that measures the willingness of customers to recommend a company's products or services to others. It is used as a proxy for gauging the customer's overall satisfaction with a company's product or service and the customer's loyalty to the product.
The Net Promoter Score system uses one basic question to measure customer loyalty:
“How likely is it that you would recommend our organization to a friend or colleague?”
There are many formulas for testing customer’s opinions—such as the Customer Satisfaction Score (CSAT) system, but the NPS system is meant to go beyond testing how satisfied a customer is with a company; it’s designed to test if someone likes a brand enough that they would recommend it to others. In other words, the person isn’t merely “satisfied” with the company—by telling others about the brand, the person is effectively marketing the company’s services.
Although there are pros and cons to NPS, numerous research studies have shown that the NPS system also correlates with business growth. Studies by the Harvard Business Review and Satmetrix have found that companies ranging from banking to car-rental companies show higher income when they improve their Net Promoter Scores.
One of its big benefits is that it allows you to benchmark your company’s results against others in your industry.

Net Promoter Score Scale
To get started, customers are asked to rate their likelihood of recommending a company to a friend or colleague by using a 0-10 point scale:
The number on the scale that a customer chooses is then classified into one of three categories: “Detractors,” “Passives,” and “Promoters.”
Score breakdowns:
0 – 6: Detractors
7 – 8: Passives
9-10: Promoters
You can think of the NPS system as similar to a four-star system on an online review, but the NPS scale gives you a broader way (and a more accurate method) to measure customer’s opinions.

How to Calculate Company’s NPS Score
You’ve sent out an online poll with the NPS question and the 0-10 scale, and you’ve received 100 responses from customers. What do you do with the results?
The NPS system gives you a percentage, based on the classification that respondents fall into—from Detractors to Promoters. So to calculate the percentage, follow these steps:
– Enter all of the survey responses into an Excel spreadsheet.
– Now, break down the responses by Detractors, Passives, and Promoters.
– Add up the total responses from each group.
– To get the percentage, take the group total and divide it by the total number of survey responses.
– Now, subtract the percentage total of Detractors from the percentage total of Promoters—this is your NPS score.
Integrated Marketing
‹#›
35
Calculating Your NPS Score
Let’s break it down:
(Number of Promoters — Number of Detractors) / (Number of Respondents) x 100
Example: If you received 100 responses to your survey:
10 responses were in the 0–6 range (Detractors)
20 responses were in the 7–8 range (Passives)
70 responses were in the 9–10 range (Promoters)
When you calculate the percentages for each group, you get 10%, 20%, and 70% respectively.
To finish up, subtract 10% (Detractors) from 70% (Promoters), which equals 60%. Since an example Net Promoter Score is always shown as just an integer and not a percentage, your NPS is simply 60. (And yes, you can have a negative NPS, as your score can range from -100 to +100.)
