Building a brand on amazon

Although I could quite literally type pages and pages of this I want to give you the bitesize version of what it takes to build a brand on Amazon.

People want to be a part of a brand that they trust and provides them a sense of belonging.

Branding creates a sense of belonging; to a community they want to be a part of.

The less obvious (and more important) answer is:

- Are you competing with Rolex or a $5 watch from Walmart?
Identify your mission statement.

Identify your values
- Your messaging is important. What are your core values of the company? This is ultimately what creates the sense of belonging as well as word-of-mouth marketing once someone decides to be a part of your brand.
Pricing
- How you price your product determines the quality of your brand (assuming the quality matches the price).
Differentiation

- Find problem patterns in your niche and be creative on coming up with a solution.

Creating a brand has been one of the most fulfilling pieces of my journey and I know it will be for you as well.

I hope this kick starts your thought process and helps you get started on the right track!
