Personal Branding POSITIONS ENTREPRENEURS FOR long-term SUCCESS
Statistics prove the importance of personal branding and brand positioning are essential to success as an entrepreneur.
IT’S EVERYWHERE —
The relevance and importance of personal branding has never been so important & widely discussed for entrepreneurs & niche brand founders. And for me — this is beyond exciting.
I’ve been touting the essential nature of creating a personal brand for years, but until recently it was largely misunderstood (at best) or disregarded as fluff.
Well… statistics prove otherwise.
There is an absolute benefit to establishing yourself as an icon in your industry and positioning your services (or products) as high-value.
Let’s examine the facts:
A report by Bain & Company found that niche luxury brands & entrepreneurs that focus on emotional connections with customers and strong brand identity are far more likely to attract high-end clients — and generate long-term loyalty.
In a study by the Luxury Institute, 62% of consumers noted that the reputation and brand story are key factors when choosing to invest in products and services.
More pointedly — a study by Ipsos found that 70% of affluent consumers are willing to pay more for a service or product they believe represents quality, craftsmanship, and exclusivity. It matters even MORE if the brand has a compelling STORY behind it (more on that later).
These statistics suggest that there is a positive correlation between a strong personal brand and an entrepreneur's potential enjoy a profitable business that easily attracts high-quality clients. It also demonstrates the willingness of high-caliber clients to pay more for quality and personalized attention.
A strong personal brand is a foundational element entrepreneurs should leverage to build trust with clients, become recognized as thought leader and increase visibility — all of which naturally lead to more easily attracting high-quality clients who are less price sensitive and often eager to invest in quality services, products and experiences.
But why is PERSONAL branding so intertwined with high-end branding? Here’s why…
Ultimately, we are people investing in the services and products of other people. Especially now with the prevalence of digital media and online businesses at all time high - there’s never been a more vital time to intentionally craft a personal brand. We still crave CONNECTION. We long to know the face behind a business, the founder behind a brand, the smile behind the service. Personal branding combined with an authentic brand story creates an opportunity to deeply resonate with your dream clients.
Personal branding allows you to create the influence and impact you truly desire.
According to a survey conducted by Forbes, personal branding is considered vitally important for high-ticket entrepreneurs. In fact, 90% (yes, 90%) of respondents believed that personal branding is critical for success as a high-ticket entrepreneur or high-end niche brand.
Additionally, 76% of respondents said that they would pay more for products or services from a entrepreneur positioned with a strong personal brand. These findings suggest that personal branding is not only important but also has a significant impact on the financial abundance and long-term success of high-ticket entrepreneurs.
