To affluent, active adults with an average net worth of $10 million interested in a second home in Naples, Florida, Mediterra offers a unique combination of two Tom Fazio designed golf courses and a private beach club. 9. Brand Promise A strong Brand Promise is crucial to answering the most important value creation question of all: Will people perceive a difference that is desirable? An effective Brand Promise successfully answers that question by providing a blueprint, or recipe for differentiating the enterprise, and in doing so, delivers a sustainable competitive advantage.

4 The Brand Promise reduces the essence of the brand into a short strategic phrase or tagline with two important purposes. First, the Brand Promise provides internal clarity. The Brand Promise gives members of the organization a succinct and memorable way to remember, introduce, explain, and discuss the brand by always using the same words to begin conversations about the brand. Second, the Brand Promise positions the brand in the minds of the target audience and helps customers to remember the brand by reinforcing mental associations.
