Strong brand assets are crucial for any business or individual who wants to establish trust, authority, and a long-term relationship with your prospects and clients.
In this context, I would like to explain the acronym that I devised for my clients, A.S.S.E.T.S, to help you better understand the key types of brand assets that your business should possess to help build the trust and authority needed to drive leads and sales through your funnel, especially for B2B businesses where the customer journey is much longer.
A is for Articles & Analysis
Share Your Insights: By diving deep into industry trends, challenges, and innovations with well-crafted articles and analyses, you not only showcase your expertise but also contribute to a larger conversation. This content cements your position as a thought leader and engages your LinkedIn network, sparking valuable conversations.
S is for Success Stories & Case Studies
Showcase Your Wins: Nothing is more powerful than sharing real-world examples of how your services have moved businesses forward. Success stories and case studies offer tangible proof of your prowess. Consider bringing these stories to life through video testimonials—an incredibly persuasive tool.
S is for Social Proof & Testimonials
Build Credibility: Leverage testimonials and reviews from satisfied clients to bolster your brand’s credibility. Integrating social proof across your marketing channels, including your website and emails, reassures prospective clients of your reliability and quality.
E is for Educational Content & Ebooks
Educate and Engage: Provide your audience with ebooks, whitepapers, and guides that address common problems and offer solutions. This valuable resource helps prospects understand their challenges better and positions your brand as the go-to expert. Remember, while gating premium content can be effective, freely sharing your knowledge (like this LinkedIn newsletter!) builds goodwill and trust.
T is for Tutorials & Training Videos
Demonstrate Your Value: Through tutorials and training videos, show the practical application, ease of use, and efficiency of your solutions. This content is educational and serves as evergreen material that remains relevant and useful over time.
S is for Seminars & Webinars
Engage Directly with Your Audience: Hosting seminars and webinars is a fantastic way to interact with your audience, share knowledge, and address real-time queries. This format boosts engagement and significantly enhances your likeability and authority within the community. These also work well to grow your audience in order to further nurture them with your other ASSETS.
