& positioning

Give buyers a specific reason to prefer your business. Examine what they value, what they believe about you and what you can prove, then put that position into language your team can use.

Why lead generation needs a strong brand behind it

Unless you build a strong brand, lead generation is only temporary.

Andrew ScottFounder and CEO, Purplex

A point of difference needs to matter to the buyer. Being different is easy. Being meaningfully preferable requires a stronger argument, so we examine customer priorities, competitor positions and the capabilities your business can credibly own.

Claims about quality and service are understandable, but buyers hear them often. The detail that makes an offer worth choosing is usually more specific: how the product performs, the advice you give, the way supply works or the support a customer receives.

Dekko: product brands built on a real difference

Dekko Window Systems wanted to move upmarket. A launch campaign in 2013 began a relationship with Purplex that went on to introduce new product brands, support Dekko’s trade customers and explore new markets.

Räum: a way into aluminium

Entering aluminium in 2015 gave Dekko an opportunity to reach a new part of the market. It needed a product brand customers could recognise and a launch that gave them a reason to take notice. Purplex developed Räum and introduced it through a teaser campaign in trade publications, paid advertising and social media.

The Infinity wordmark: Infinity window and door collection

Infinity: a difference customers could see

Dekko’s investment in a graf welding machine created another opportunity. Its smooth corner weld was a manufacturing difference customers could see. Purplex helped develop the Infinity brand around that feature, making it easier for the business and its installers to explain what distinguished the product.

Purplex also supported Dekko’s FIT Show presence through stand design, literature and follow-up marketing. During the partnership, Dekko grew from £6 million to £25 million in revenue, launched multiple brands and entered new markets. In 2023 it was acquired by Inwido, Europe’s largest window group.

One position, explained to each buyer

Your buyers can share a reason to trust your business while needing different detail. We develop the supporting messages and examples with those differences in mind, so leadership, sales and marketing work from the same foundation.

  • A trade partnerwants to understand the opportunity in your range.
  • A specifierneeds confidence in an application.
  • A homeownerwants to know what the result will be like.

The same foundation then serves website copy, creative work, product introductions and everyday sales conversations.

From what customers believe to what your team says

The engagement can include brand and competitor review, stakeholder input, positioning workshops, a value proposition and messaging. We can hand the strategy to your team or help apply it through identity, website and communications work. The review determines whether the existing identity still supports the position.

The work can include

  • Brand and competitor audit
  • Positioning workshops
  • Value proposition
  • Messaging framework
  • Brand rollout priorities

Customer perceptions and your current position

A business can develop faster than its reputation. Customers may still associate you with an older range or one type of work, even after your capabilities have expanded. A move into commercial projects, a premium offer or a change of ownership makes that gap worth examining. We bring together customer knowledge, sales experience and the material already in the market. The review establishes which associations help you and what now needs explaining, before decisions about a new visual identity.

Your competitive position and proposition

We look for the detail that makes your offer worth choosing: how the product performs, the application advice you provide, the supply arrangement or the support a customer receives. We compare it with the alternatives and examine the evidence. The resulting proposition should be specific enough for a customer to recognise its value and credible enough for your sales team to use comfortably.

Questions about brand strategy

If your question isn’t here, call 01934 808132 or email [email protected].

Is positioning only useful before a rebrand?

No. You may need a clearer proposition without changing the identity. Positioning can improve sales conversations, content and campaign decisions even when the logo stays exactly as it is.

Will you change our logo?

Only if the review shows the identity is holding the position back. A clearer proposition can improve sales conversations, content and campaigns while the logo stays exactly as it is. When the identity does need work, our design team can take the strategy into it.

How do you make sure the position is credible?

We test it against what customers value, what competitors already claim and what your business can prove: how the product performs, the application advice you give, the supply arrangement or the support a customer receives. If a claim can’t be backed up, it doesn’t go into the proposition.

Give customers a clearer reason to choose you.
