Many believe that branding only works for large companies and does not suit smaller businesses. But the fact remains that these large companies also started small. This clearly illustrates that having a good branding strategy can bring your business to greater heights. It may not make you a large company overnight (no strategy will), but it will deliver steady results before you know it.
Here are some tips to get you started:
1. Be consistent.
It's very frustrating to see a single company that ends up looking different every time an ad appears or when a new product is launched. It's important that a company maintains a single character. This means having a consistent logo, advertising, and company values. Yes, even the internal workings of the company must be in place and should not be changed. This will help build company loyalty that will reflect to your customers.
2. The logo is important, don't overdo it.
This is especially true if you're a starting business. While it's true that a good logo will provide the first impression and quick recall, you don't need to spend too much time and money in designing it. All you need is to ensure that your name is spelled right, and it does not imitate any existing brand designs in order to avoid copyright issues. A simple logo design can really go a long way. It's suggested to get a catchy brand or company name instead.
3. Build a professional website.
Having an online presence will boost awareness about your business and increase your credibility. It also opens doors to the opportunity of marketing online to new audiences. Getting a website to look professional is actually more cost effective than most people think. Web hosting services have already plummeted due to extreme competition.
4. Develop excellent customer service.
Regardless of the nature of your business, there will always be a particular group of persons whose task is to communicate with customers. These staff must be properly trained in dealing with various types of customers and should be willing to go the extra mile to offer service.
There is also an internal customer service, where interactions among departments can be related to the relationship of client and provider. Remember that those who receive good customer service will always come back and would even bring in more prospects.
5. Develop a public image.
People say that doing such might limit the growth of your business. The opposite is, of course, true. Developing a company image and strictly adhering to it will result to people appreciating your service. Even your employees will feel their importance and would be excited to work better for the company. By letting the business stand for something you believe in, more customers will start appreciating your brand. Reputation is something that every business would like to have, but only a few get. These businesses would tell you one thing: develop the company's core values first.
