The Dark Spaces that Kill Hemp Startups
Why is it that most hemp companies turn out to suffer? It is not usually because of bad products and lack of ambition.
Now, let us prescribe the most commonly-recurring branding pitfalls, but you can avoid them using the right knowledge.
- Identity; Brand Identity; Brand Identity that is Lost
Lots of hemp entrepreneurs have a tendency to consider a brand as nothing more than a logo. It is like judging a car to be a coat of paint.
Dangerous branding errors:
Selection of colours and fonts is relying purely on taste and not on researching the audience.
• Uncoherent message on different packages, social media, and web.
• The absence of the clear story which evokes some emotion to the customers.
Foundation matters. However, industry statistics show that only 37 percent of startups in the industry focus their investments on brand strategy.
The point is not to look good but create a sense of trust and not to be forgotten.
- Compliance Confusion
Hemp industry thrives at the flash of a strobe light of changing laws. This is a field that is too slippery to wing-it.
• Most hemp start-ups often use words or images that regulators have highlighted, meaning they get forced to rebrand or worse, not be able to make a sale.
• No overtones of THC, or health claims without due support should be used as copy and illustrations.
Fact: More than 22 percent of the hemp product recalls are due to branding and labeling mistakes, rather than the contents of the products.
- Imitation and Going With the Flow
The shelves are overflowing offline and online with green leaves, nature buzzwords and far to predictable taglines. How to be overlooked quickest? E Everything: imitate all the rest.
Pro insight: Successful brands observe the best in the industry, after which they take it in a new direction. Clear voice, mission, and values impressively carved down all touchpoints of customers cause heads to turn.
