Make your brand catchy for a visitors...

Do people even read posts...the OP is asking how to build his brand because it is generic!

OP: use your website url as your brand name minus the com part. That works well actually

start building your brand by providing something useful to your customers

Make a list of words that best describe these features of your personality.

Nike, Google, Yahoo, Amazon are all pretty generic brand names, yet, they have built business empires! You should study what they did and follow some of their marketing strategies.

Branding is the best way to promote your website. Peoples should know what "Softsys Hosting" is and what they use to do. If there is a discussion among friends, then whomever have known the brand name, will let you know and advice for same. It is best "word of mouth marketing" and trust me, Guys should be believe more on some branding suggestions like this. Do try your best to promote your brand name, either start blog, SEO or SMM, or create event, collaborate with others.

you can create the brand in twitter by using hash tag..

Well, brand promotion can be done by taking the help of the social media, try running contest and giving freebies over the social media. I am sure this will be helpful in dragging visitors as well as the Brand.

Select a unique short name for business... create a attractive website .. do some local advertisements .... build a nice customer relation.. Do some SEO/Social media campaigns ... make positive reviews from clients

hey are you still having trouble with your branding?

every answer here is missing the point. who is your ideal customer? what is the business you are trying to build. a great name means nothing without the vision behind your company and the service or product you plan offer someone. build off the base to create the name

i was thanks to those ideas shared this thread,, i am happy to reach this thread... thanks

Generic Brand Name? so you mean your old brand name is unique?
if that so check your competition on that niche as well as those similar websites that's very important, then try to create your brand far from how they've created their branding structure.

Okay, let me tell you. You are over-thinking this WAY TOO MUCH!.

Brand name matters only when you think 4, 5, a decade down the line. Can you rank your site for your keywords now ? in the first 3 positions ?. Great, put up some social buttons on your site if people like what you provide they will remember you and keep coming back. Even if you have a crappy brand name or no brand name at all, they will remember your website.

When you have a following of good visitors, sit down think hard and long all day about your new cool brand name and redirect your old site to the new one. By then, you will know hopefully how to rank and your brand be recognized in days with all that traffic you'll be receiving.

A cool brand name means nothing if nobody knows about it. Did you know Google was known as "BackRub" first ?, they changed it later. A lot of companies do this everyday once they gain some success. So yeah go rank your site instead of thinking about brand names and all that.

To improve branding you must have to catch as many as relevant sites and promote it to maximum people. As well the social media sites are most beneficial in this matter. Proper use of social media will help you a lot in brand awareness.

Most modern branding starts with having a customer avatar ... it helped Apple increase sales 39% in 2006 ...

Think of Flo from Progressive Insurance or Uncle Ben ...

Progressive Insurance was "boring" and "generic" before they introduced Flo ... now everyone knows that company through their Customer Avatar, it built their brand much stronger.

Branding just like branding an animal is a way of identifying it .. you need something to be identified by just like the Geico lizard thing...

Hope this gives you some direction.

Just do a PRESS RELEASE and with your website name as the links voila instant brand.... You should do paid PRESS RELEASE

Linkedin and Facebook page are appropriate to build brandname. Social network is a useful tool to help you introduce yourself to a lot of people.
Joining in groups and you also can introduce to many people at the same time.

Thanks to all..It's clear now for me how to do branding..

More powers to all...

Thanks you..

Get some paid PRESS RELEASE done. This is the best way to build your website brand and fastest. And also just get backlinks from strong sites with high PA with your website name on it. That's how you build a brand by getting links from sites with your website name.

If your brand is generic no one will care about it.

I've run a few over the years, they rarely get social shares and once the Google traffic dries up it's basically all over.

It's wierd, because the content was just as good as anyone else, even better.

How far are you into your new website build? To late for a quick change of name / brand?

IMHO branded websites now win over EMD's and generics every day of the week

Hi pororo,

Hope I can help here, but can you clarify what you mean by 'it's brands name is generic' because I think you mean there is a marketplace with others who use whatever it is you are selling in their marketing, like 'hosting' for instance.

That wouldn't make a brand generic, it would mean you don't yet have a brand, a brand is something you build and associate to something in your marketplace, that makes it unique.

Think of all the top trademarked brands and they usually have nothing to do with what they market but the association has been forged in the minds of their prospects and audience that the name of the BRAND is the product or industry it targets.

So you need to come up with a unique name and BRAND it into peoples consciousness, that way it will be the easiest thing to market because it will be completely unique and there will be no competition on the term for your marketing.

There is nothing wrong with using the name of what you are selling in your marketing or domain, but the BRAND is what comes before the product or service, you can then take the BRAND name and add it to other things later.

But as the others have mentioned in the thread, you should then use social media to get the marketing out there, just think BIG from the start and even if you operate in one market right now for what you offer, create a BRAND that can be added to other things later.

You should start with a business plan.Once you have a mission statement, service or product line, target audience, etc. The branding/marketing should be much easier.

A brand is built around giving people what they want. You fulfil expectations then they will come back in future. To build a reputation you need to deliver something people want be it a product, information etc. which is what drives the common reply on here that content is king when making niche sites.

In terms of actual branding on the website, I think that's secondary to the content personally.

How can i possibly build its brand name?
Building a brand takes time. Think of a brand as a persons personality. It consists of things such as "looks, clothing, voice, style etc..."

If you have a website it can be part of your brand. Many people think a brand is just the website, but actually it is the whole package.

Where should I start building my Brand?
Start with choosing the right brand colours, who your target market is. Get a website or social media set up. Place valuable content which will reflect how your brand is to your readers.

What kind of website should I find to build my Brand?
Not sure what you are asking for here. To build your brand think of value chain. What gives more value to your customers that gives you a bigger advantage towards your competitors.
