Authenticity
Gaining consumers’ trust is essential. This can be and should be done in a variety of ways.
Maintaining a following on social media allows companies to share their unique point of view with their consumers. It also allows direct engagement and encourages conversations.
Figure out which social media platforms are triggering the largest response from your customers. When it comes to social media, brands should pick one platform and master it instead of trying to conquer all of them at once.Spend your time nurturing them there. Encourage questions, product reviews and feedback.
Proactively engaging with users online by responding to comments has been shown to build trust and reliability. Brands that acknowledge feedback from consumers online show that they care.
Storytelling
Starbucks distinguishs itself from other brands not only in real life (IRL), but online, too by telling the story of how their Fair-Trade beans are ethically grown. Starbucks shares this message everywhere, in-store, their website and on social media.
Clif Bars has an entire section on their website dedicated to the story behind their brand. Their stories span from the history of the brand to the organic focus of their product.
A story adds entertainment, emotion and sometimes even educational value to a brand as a whole. All stories, however, should be authentic. Lies destroy a company’s reputation.
Aesthetic

Consumers should be able to instantly identify a brand weather they’re looking at their twitter or website; personality should be reflected across all accounts.
Interactive websites are a great way to engage and send a message to users.
Graphic content, like infographics, can also be used in a creative and shareable way that will allow a brand to stand out among others.
These simple ways are the heart of marketing. Refreshing a brands online appeal to consumers can have it become more influential over the rest.
