The following are the primary branding components of a good nursery business plan:

- A clear representation of your nursery school services.
- A benefits statement that describes what parents and children will take from this brand.

- Identification of the target market that will find these benefits to be of some value.

Nursery pricing details. How does your nursery business stack up when it comes to comparing us to the competition in terms of value?
Nursery distribution network details. Where will customers encounter your branding and advertising?
What type of partners will be involved in delivering the brand?

This is often a central promise of some delivered value including a tagline, if any.

Nursery Brand Personality. Describe the context, qualities and associations you want target customers (parents) to build into their perceptions of the brand.
This shouldn’t just be the “soft” side of the brand, but rather the one which ensures affinity to the target market.
Nursery Voice. This is a general description of how the nursery brand “speaks” to the marketplace.
For example, is the brand people-oriented and friendly, or is it authoritative and corporate. Is it sophisticated or worldly?

Nursery Business Communications strategy. This should include the best ways of reaching an influencing your target customers - nursery website, radio broadcast or newspaper advertising.
It also entails identifying the types of partners and associates who will contribute to growing the brand, the roles played by different types of advertising media, public relations, existing customers, promotional activities, sales channels, opinion leaders, etc.

Only after your start to develop these profile components will you start to see how your company’s attributes stack up against the competition.
Based on your competitive position you can then identify which customer markets you should be targeting.

In your nursery business plan, you can also start to narrow in on the concepts that comprise branding:

What is your identity? Do you have a strong, male-dominated, product-oriented brand or is it a cost-conscious brand that appeals more toward females?

What is your personality? Do the words that describe your brand include concerned and helpful or are they more whimsical and fun-loving?

What is your core brand message? Based on your company’s identity and its personality, what is the central message that best resonates with your target market?

What is an appropriate tagline? From your overall brand message, what’s the one short phrase that sums everything up?

From this tagline what one word sums up your identity? This truly gets to the heart of what your brand is.

It’s a lengthy process whittling your brand down to one word, but once you’re able to sum it up this succinctly, you’ll know you have a strong grasp on what resonates with customers.
