    • 23. 10 Rules of Great Brand Marketing Tactics1. Build image around group “A” (target), sell volume to group “B”. 2. Start with a very good product -- dare to compare. 3. Market the top-of-the-line product first. 4. Market the Brand Family of nameplates together around common benefits and values. Lead with the new, hot products and include the older models. 5. Come up with “new to the world” ideas, so the press sells the brand for you. 6. Create “buzz” (positive word of mouth) directed at specific target customers. 7. Be proud and aspirational. Use bold advertising that 1) gets noticed 2) makes the product a hero, and 3) connects emotionally. 8. Focus all marketing activities around the brand values and integrate all marketing activities to achieve synergy, efficiency and consistency. 9. Ensure that dealers understand and build the brand. Develop facilities and sales and service experiences which are consistent with Brand values. 10. Use individualized, relationship (2:1) marketing to develop deep, lasting relationships with customers. Use the internet effectively to connect with customers.
