Crafting Digital Identities
Branding That Resonates
Understanding Customer Feedback and Reinforce Your Brand with Reputation Management
Branding is one of the most important aspects of any business, large or small, retail or B2B. It defines who you are and differentiates you in the competitive digital marketplace.
Embark on Your Branding Journey
Defining your brand is akin to a journey of business self-discovery. It can be difficult, time-consuming, and uncomfortable, but it's essential. Begin by answering pivotal questions such as:
-
What is your company's mission?
-
What are the benefits and features of your products or services?
-
What do your customers and prospects already think of your company?
-
What qualities do you want them to associate with your company?
Thorough research is imperative. Understand the needs, habits, and desires of your current and prospective customers, and make sure you know what they think.
Given how complex defining your brand and developing a brand strategy can be, consider leveraging the expertise of a nonprofit small-business advisory group or a Small Business Development Center.
Strategically Communicating Your Brand Identity
Once you've defined your brand, how do you get the word out? Here are some effective, time-tested strategies:
-
Get a standout logo and ensure it is visible everywhere.
-
Clearly articulate your brand messaging. Communicate key messages effectively; every team member should be well-versed in your brand attributes.
-
Integrate your brand into every facet of your business – from how you answer phone calls to the appearance of your email signature.
-
Create a consistent "voice" that represents your brand. Whether in written communication or visual elements, ensure your brand's tone aligns across all material, online and offline.
-
Design marketing materials and a website that authentically reflect your brand essence.
