The Importance Of A Developers Brand On The North Gulf Coast

October 17, 2020 by Bullock Tice Associates

Every project that a developer creates is a brand communication channel; a development project is a tangible representation of the development organization – this means that every constructed product visually, experientially, and qualitatively communicates what the development organization stands for.

Positioning

The positioning of a business is how they convey their values and efforts. Few developers consciously design their products with their desired brand for specific audiences in mind, so incorporating brand-driven developing strategies in a development project can drive a development organization’s values and efforts to their relevant brand audiences and effectively drive better project opportunities by leveraging this tangible communications channel.

A few questions to consider are:

  • What do your past developments communicate about you, and to whom?
  • Which of these messages is positive?
  • How consistent are the positive messages?
  • Have there been any negative messages that need to be consciously avoided?

Differentiating

Separating oneself from the competition is an important step to securing a healthy market share. By having a distinctive brand across all relevant brand audiences, a development organization stands out from the crowd, and as a result are able to more actively pursue the project opportunities that are ideal for their desired future.

A few questions to consider are:

  • Which qualities does your organization hold that compliment with other developments in the areas around your previous sites?
  • Which qualities separate you from other developments in your area?
  • What strategies do other development organizations in your area have to uphold their image?

Scale

Scaling a development organization is made exponentially easier with a solid brand. This goes back to the idea that a brand is an investment of its own – investing into a development organization’s image is investing in the development organization’s future project opportunities.

Leveraging value

Adding brand-conscious decision making to the development of a project results not only in an enhanced brand, but an enhanced product as well. The added satisfaction to primary and secondary buyers, building owners and managers, and the general public will undoubtedly add value to your products. This means that striving for a good brand will ultimately lead to a long-term increase in revenue as well as your desired brand promises.

In conclusion

Now that we have made our case for consciously considering a developer’s brand name with every project, join us in our next set of articles concerning strategies that developers can use in order to reach their desired image.
