They establish certain cues that grasp the attention of the common people. These cues can easily store in the memory of the person so whenever a person encounters the brand, they can easily remind themselves about it and choose it from the list of others. The idea of letting these cues sink into the mind of the average person is what brand salience is all about.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6141 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.branex.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/mcdonald-brand-salience.jpg\" alt=\"mcdonald - brand salience\" width=\"606\" height=\"404\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.branex.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/mcdonald-brand-salience.jpg 606w, https:\/\/www.branex.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/mcdonald-brand-salience-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.branex.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/mcdonald-brand-salience-219x146.jpg 219w, https:\/\/www.branex.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/mcdonald-brand-salience-50x33.jpg 50w, https:\/\/www.branex.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/mcdonald-brand-salience-113x75.jpg 113w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 606px) 100vw, 606px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>What else do you think McDonald\u2019s has that makes people want to purchase from their outlets? Besides the clown, if it isn\u2019t the big yellow M! Here\u2019s another cue that easily captures the attention of a common visitor and can be easily stored in the memory of the person. The more cues a brand has, the much better it stores in the memory and hence, the more strong is the salience factor of the brand.<\/p>\n<p>We all know what McDonald\u2019s is great for! It\u2019s their Big Macs no doubt.<\/p>\n<p>But despite the fact of how unhealthy consuming excessive junk food can be, when you see the big M and the clown sitting at the front door with an inviting smile, you just can\u2019t resist yourself. You will soon find yourself parking your car, grabbing your wallet and buying that juicy quarter pounder cheeseburger with extra fries and drink! It is how McDonald creates the perfect brand salience around.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\"><p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<\/div><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.branex.ae\/blog\/brand-salience\/#So_what_is_Brand_Salience\" >So what is Brand Salience?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.branex.ae\/blog\/brand-salience\/#1_Highlight_Brand_Assets_in_a_Way_That_Audience_Can_Pick_You_Out\" >1) Highlight Brand Assets in a Way That Audience Can Pick You Out<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.branex.ae\/blog\/brand-salience\/#2_Keep_the_Narrative_Bold_Be_As_Original_As_Possible\" >2) Keep the Narrative Bold &amp; Be As Original As Possible<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.branex.ae\/blog\/brand-salience\/#3_Find_New_Ways_to_Approach_Potential_Buyers\" >3) Find New Ways to Approach Potential Buyers<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"So_what_is_Brand_Salience\"><\/span><strong>So what is Brand Salience?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In simple words,<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThe degree at which your brand gets noticed by consumers when they are making an important purchasing decision is what we call brand salience.\u201c<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Not all brands are the same\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Some brands have higher salience as they introduce many powerful elements that can easily grasp the attention and store in the people\u2019s memory. Other brands have weak brand saliences because they don\u2019t have enough enticing factors to grasp the attention that can easily store in the minds of people.<\/p>\n<p>These are brands that are still<\/p>\n<p>These powerful elements stick to the memory sets of the visiting customers creating an everlasting impression on their minds, so they don\u2019t easily forget your brand.<\/p>\n<p>Brand salience is significant because if you don\u2019t have a strong salience, there\u2019s a high chance that your business just might get slashed out from the list during those micro-moments when a user is making a purchasing decision. As far as the question, how brands can achieve brand salience is concerned, here are a few ways how I believe brands can achieve them in order to progress forward.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Highlight_Brand_Assets_in_a_Way_That_Audience_Can_Pick_You_Out\"><\/span><strong>1) Highlight Brand Assets in a Way That Audience Can Pick You Out<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>No business can truly sell itself in the market unless it is equipped with the right hooks that can engage the audiences. So first things first, you need to identify what are the unique selling points of your business that can help you promote yourself. The next thing you have to do is interlink those USPs with pain points of your target market so that you can sell your brand more efficiently out there.<\/p>\n<p>Emotional storytelling can also be of great help when you\u2019re creating brand salience. These emotional short stories create a memorable impact ensuring that your brand can be spotlighted among the rest.<\/p>\n<p>Do you know that the <a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2012\/05\/three-myths-about-customer-eng\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Harvard Business Review reports<\/a> that customers who have an emotional connection with a brand offer a 3x higher lifetime value compared to those who are not connected?<\/p>\n<p>Just go back to your childhood and think about watching that Kellogg\u2019s coco pop commercial.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6142 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.branex.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/cocopops-brand-salience.jpg\" alt=\"cocopops - brand salience\" width=\"385\" height=\"610\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.branex.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/cocopops-brand-salience.jpg 385w, https:\/\/www.branex.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/cocopops-brand-salience-189x300.jpg 189w, https:\/\/www.branex.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/cocopops-brand-salience-92x146.jpg 92w, https:\/\/www.branex.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/cocopops-brand-salience-32x50.jpg 32w, https:\/\/www.branex.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/cocopops-brand-salience-47x75.jpg 47w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 385px) 100vw, 385px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It wasn\u2019t just the commercial alone, but the box and the packaging and the cheerful mascot! Everything about the coco-pops created an emotional bond that always made us choose coco pops.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, we are now living in an age of social media where everything takes place on Facebook &amp; Instagram. So it is best that brands focus on highlighting assets that make them easily instantly noticeable.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Keep_the_Narrative_Bold_Be_As_Original_As_Possible\"><\/span><strong>2) Keep the Narrative Bold &amp; Be As Original As Possible<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>There are two things you need to pay attention to when you are creating a strong brand message.<\/p>\n<p>The first thing you need to address is keeping your narrative bold when you are marketing your product. Being hesitant about expressing your brand message will only lead you to be unheard of.<\/p>\n<p>And you certainly don\u2019t want that to happen to yourself now, do you?<\/p>\n<p>One of the publications at Investpro indicates that 22% of the consumers believe that originality in content is one of the major attributes. Being original about your content is what motivates the audience to explore your business services\/products and compels them to purchase stuff from you.<\/p>\n<p>Right now, the COVID 19 outbreak is on the rise and people are searching for assurances that everything is going to be fine. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.branex.ae\/blog\/digital-marketing-strategies-covid-19\/\">Digital marketing strategies during the COVID 19<\/a> are enabling marketers around the world to establish that perfect element of trust among their desired target markets.<\/p>\n<p>The human mind can correlate to cues which people can see, hear or feel. As a brand marketing executive, you\u2019re supposed to find a way to identify that external cue so that your brand can get heard.<\/p>\n<p>Believe it or not, but brands that are genuine in their messaging and bold in saying what they want to say are truly the ones that are successful. Take Apple, for example, a simple THINK DIFFERENT changed the entire ball game for the people and smartphones spread around the world like wildfire.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Find_New_Ways_to_Approach_Potential_Buyers\"><\/span><strong>3) Find New Ways to Approach Potential Buyers<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Back in the 90s, there were only a handful of resources to connect with our audience type. If you wanted to sell your product\/service, you had options like running a commercial on the local news channels, or radio frequencies, or getting an advertisement up on a billboard on the highway!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.branex.ae\/blog\/infographics\/creating-brochure-design-event-for-any-event\/\">Flyers and professionally designed brochures<\/a> were just other spokes of the same wheel.<\/p>\n<p>However, now, things have dramatically changed. We have social media to compliment us with a variety of different channels. And as times have changed, people are more interconnected with each other through their smartphones rather than the national television or radio channels or billboards.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, a study suggested that people pay more attention to their social media accounts rather than pay attention to a billboard that they encounter when they are commuting from one spot to another.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re a brand executive, then there\u2019s no harm in exploring new methods of communicating with your target audience. Be creative in your efforts, leverage the power of paid organic marketing using Google Ad services. Spread the word out on different social media channels using Facebook Advertising. In fact, you can also use video storyboarding, email marketing and other such facets too.<\/p>\n<p>All that hard work that you\u2019re going to put into creating a strong message must not be left unheard!<\/p>\n<p>So that\u2019s it, folks!
