Aligning With Brand Lovers (Strategic Tuesday/Promotion)

 

 

Hello, I’m Jim Glover, That Branding Guy, for Once a Day Marketing™.  Today is Strategic Tuesday and we are going to discuss aligning your brand with lovers of other brands out in the marketplace.

If you have you been following the stories about Veronica Mars, the former television program that now has a cult following; you already know the show’s creator is using Kickstarter.com to raise funding for the release of a new motion picture.

It’s creating all sorts of buzz.  Through Kickstarter, the project has now raised $3.8 million to fund their motion picture.  However, Daily Variety, a Hollywood trade journal, is saying that major marketers have missed the boat.

Daily Variety pointed out the fact that, in spite of the huge brand following that Veronica Mars has, no major marketer or brand stepped forward and took advantage of the opportunity to sponsor or underwrite this motion picture.  It would have been a fantastic way to generate instant goodwill with the Veronica Mars fan base.

Strategically, you may be able to identify possibilities to align your brand with other brand lovers in the marketplace.  This could be through sponsorship of an event, organization or other activity and aligning your promotions, advertising and marketing with it to reach their base of brand lovers.

There have got to be possibilities out there for your business.  Through sponsorship/association you will create goodwill for your brand with the brand lovers of another brand, event or organization.  Consider something that is a good fit and will result in elevation of your brand stature with brand lovers in a different audience.
