Need an easier way to build brand trust?

How do you build brand trust?

Brands that are trusted get more sales. But, what are your options to build trust with prospective and current clients?

Most of the time, you start by covering the obvious issues pertaining to your category and your brand. That’s easy.

But then what do you do? It’s often more challenging to find something relevant to discuss in your communications beyond that point.

You may need a game-changer. One that introduces ideas you had not thought of. One that is based on research.

You can now develop a trust-building framework, online and fast!

That way, you can identify and implement potential trust-building opportunities. To enhance perceptions of your brand. To grow sales.

Trust-building needs structure to be effective

How should a trust-building framework assist with your communications strategy?

It should give you new ideas. But it should allow you to customize these ideas for your circumstances. The process should be easy – with many checklists to help you along. Things like:

  • Segments to target to aim specific trust-building measures at those who value them most.
  • Emotions you wish to create since brands built with emotional benefits are more difficult to imitate.
  • A plan to make your argument more credible.

Finally, it needs to focus on what matters. So that you do not need to summarize these thoughts at a later stage.

That way, you can transfer your ideas into effective communications. Faster and with less effort.

The research behind this

How we make the task easier for you

We have worked on over 70 global and local B2C and B2B brands over a period of over 20 years.

Clients have included Fortune 500 companies across a variety of industries.

When consulting with them in the areas of brand development, sales development, and loyalty development, we noticed that trust-building communications were often developed with some degree of difficulty.

We researched the topic and combined it with our own experience to define 33 concerns that people typically have. These may be concerns that they are currently facing that you can address. Alternatively, they may be concerns they have about doing business with your organization, your category, or your industry.

If you are able to resolve these concerns, you are in a better position to build trust.

Getting this to work from strategy to execution

How we make the process easier for you

Having a great idea to build trust does not help if you do not execute the idea.

To this end, we have built-in a process to make this easier. So that you can identify areas of opportunity, and approach them with a practical communication.

Each of the 33 areas where you could build trust includes 4 examples. That will help you get started to customize this for your own situation.

Then we take you through a process of a few questions for each trust-building opportunity. Designed by a strategist, it assists you to make notes on what and how to communicate your idea. There are also checklists included making this faster and more comprehensive.

The idea is to be able to take this thinking and transfer it into communication with relative ease.

Some frequently asked questions.

Will this do my entire communications job for me?

No. You still need to customize your thinking for your specific situation. But, it does do a lot of the heavy lifting for you to make this customization process easier.

Is this approach realistic?

After developing communications strategies for over 20 years, we wish we could have had this tool at the outset. Several insights were developed over this period:

  1. A good framework is essential to develop many ideas and do it faster.
  2. Most of our clients found it easy to customize for their situation. But they needed a practical process to work within areas where they lacked expertise.

There are over 120 examples to draw inspiration from. Each example was drawn from experience when consulting with our clients (You can see a list of a few of the industries we have consulted to over the last 20 years at the bottom of the page.)

Is the list of concerns comprehensive?

Much effort has gone into developing this list. Anything can be improved upon over time. But we are certain that this will give you ideas for many communications opportunities to build trust.

What do I do with the results once I have them?

We are strong believers in executing on an idea.

Until a communications idea is executed, it remains just that – an idea.

To this end, we have created a framework containing the essentials we know you need for good communication.

You can then export this information and either work with it yourself, or pass it onto the people managing your communications. We know that they would appreciate the information rather than spending hours trying to develop it.
