TIP # 10: HONE YOUR ELEVATOR PITCH\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

No matter what category your brand competes in, it\u2019s becoming harder to stand out, since your potential customers are bombarded with so much information every day. That\u2019s why it\u2019s so important to have a really tight elevator pitch. It helps people \u201cget\u201d what you stand for right away and then quickly decide whether they want to learn more about your brand. Write down your pitch in no more than 250 words and continue to practice and perfect it. Start with one headline promise that highlights what your brand enables, not what you offer \u2013 and three support points. Rotate and freshen these points depending on your target audience, but be prepared to tell your story in 3 elevator flights, not 10 or even 30.
