Your strongest competitor isn’t another brand. It’s a ritual your customer already has.
Diptyque never sold a candle. Nespresso never sold coffee. Snow Peak never sold tents. So what were they actually selling?
The next subscription economy won’t run on contracts. It’ll run on something customers can’t even name.
There’s a 10-question diagnostic that tells you if your brand is a product, a habit, or a tradition. Most brands fail question one. This is exactly what we are examining in this edition of SOHB(State Of The Heart Branding) Story.
