You should base the message on your USPs to convey a distinguishable brand identity and keep it consistent across all customer touchpoints and communication to avoid confusing prospects. If your USP is about helping entrepreneurs reduce their risk exposure at startup, that’s the theme you want your audience to see on your website, social media profiles, and other promotional or educational material. The tonality, such as formal or casual, should be uniform everywhere you engage with clients, whether online or offline. Create Brand Awareness You’ve already defined the personal brand identity for which you want prospects to recognize your insurance services. The next step is to market that identity with various strategic brand awareness efforts. You can use email newsletter campaigns with specific USP messaging and tonality that resonate well with your target prospects. Equally important, establish an online presence with digital content that helps potential clients discover and learn about your brand when searching for relevant insurance information or products. Paid online ads can supplement your other brand awareness campaigns, and active brand engagements on social media allow you to establish a loyal following of prospective insurance customers.
