What can you offer customers? How do your services or brand experience compare with the competition\u2019s? What do customers get from your business that they can\u2019t get anywhere else?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Look at Subway. For decades, it ran a fairly popular \u2013 if unremarkable \u2013 fast-food business. Today, it\u2019s the largest fast-food chain in the country, representing 18.5% of the total market. A big reason for Subway\u2019s success has been its shift in messaging to appeal to health-conscious consumers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Every branding change and development that has come about over the past couple of decades has stressed fresh food and healthy eating. The brand\u2019s tagline, \u201cEat fresh,\u201d is an obvious example. Even redefining employees as \u201csandwich artists\u201d demonstrates a commitment to food quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Subway essentially re-branded itself as the healthy alternative to the most popular fast-food chains, such as McDonald\u2019s and Wendy\u2019s. Now, those same brands are trying to follow Subway\u2019s lead, pushing healthier food items in their marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
