Prompt for creating messaging guidelines
Alkaline Advisors Brand GuidelinesAlkaline Advisors Branding Guidelines
Prompt 1:
We're going to create brand guidelines for the business Alkaline Advisors. Before we create the brand guidelines I want you to research how to create brand guidelines that any business owner can follow and that can be used to generate persuasive copy that effectively communicates a business unique value.
Prompt 2:
Ok now we want to create the brand guidelines. Below, under Brand Guidelines To Create, we have detailed the information we need to create to fill out our brand guidelines template. The bold item is what needs to be created and it is followed by the description of the item and what purpose the item is supposed to serve. Then under Business Information we have the answers the business owner gave when asked to detail information about the business. Use this to create all items listed under Brand Guidelines To Create.
Brand Guidelines To Create
The Driving Factor (Mission Statement) A mission statement is important for a business as it clearly defines the company's purpose and goals, guiding decision-making and aligning the efforts of the team towards a common objective.
Your Something Bigger (Vision Statement) A vision statement is crucial for a business as it provides a clear and inspiring long-term goal, motivating the team and shaping strategic planning to achieve future success.
Personality Business personality decides what kind of character your business would be in a story, it helps position you closer to the feelings you want people to have about you.
Tone Business tone chooses the right voice youâd have in a story; it helps convey the emotion you want your words to carry.
Positioning Statement Brand positioning statementâs answer the question: Do people understand who I am, my benefits, my personality and the something bigger I will represent? It acts like a roadmap, guiding everything your business does so that customers can easily recognize and remember what makes it special.
The Thing You Own You have the ability to own one thing in your customers mind, what is that thing? Businesses that have successfully positioned their brand own a specific word in a customers mind. Ex: For cars Honda is âreliability,â Mercedes is âluxury,â Tesla is âinnovative.â
The Feeling You Resolve Customers will forget what you said, but will never forget how you made them feel. Deciding on one feeling to own makes it easier to reinforce that feeling to customers.
Your Services & Their Value Customers need consistency, especially when speaking about the values your services provide. Outlining them now ensure consistency.
