			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="bold style1">There were probably mentioned before, one way or another all across this blog, and not only. I just feel the need to remind them and put them in a structure. No brand can live without them, all efficient brands have them.</p>
<p class="bold style1">The most important elements of a brand should be:</p>
<p class="bold style1"><a href="http://www.brandxpress.net/category/positioning/" target="_self"><strong>Brand Position</strong></a></p>
<ul class="style1">
<li>Who is addressed by company&#8217;s branded products or services. What the company does and for whom</li>
<li>The company&#8217;s unique value and how customers benefit from products and/or services</li>
<li>Key competitive differentiators, what makes the brand be chosen, be different from its competitors</li>
</ul>
<p class="bold style1"><a href="http://www.brandxpress.net/search-results/?cx=partner-pub-8677760062540097:vgumck-lpvw&amp;cof=FORID:11&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;q=brand+promise&amp;sa=Search" target="_self"><strong>Brand Promise</strong></a></p>
<ul class="style1">
<li>The ONE most important thing that the brand promises to deliver to its customers — Every time!</li>
<li>What customers and partners should expect from every interaction, how should they feel as brand&#8217;s customers</li>
</ul>
<p class="bold style1"><strong>Brand Personality</strong></p>
<ul class="style1">
<li>What the brand is to be known for</li>
<li>Personality traits that customers, partners, and employees use to describe the company. What comes to the (potential) customer&#8217;s mind when addressed about the brand</li>
</ul>
<p class="bold style1"><strong>Brand Story</strong></p>
<ul class="style1">
<li>The company&#8217;s history and how the history adds value and credibility to the brand</li>
<li>A summary of products/services/solutions</li>
</ul>
<p class="bold style1"><strong>Brand Associations</strong></p>
<ul class="style1">
<li>Physical artifacts: name, logo, colors, taglines, fonts, imagery</li>
<li>Ideally, it must reflect the all the above statements about the brand and the company</li>
</ul>
