Do you need an Essex Rebranding Agency?
We never seem to be far away from advertising these days. It interrupts our favourite tv show, intrude in our mailbox or constantly pop up in our browser. Advertising obviously works. But with so many around, it is important to ensure that your business stands out from the crowd.
What is branding?
Branding is a very broad term for the way a customer perceives a business or product. Good branding creates the perception that the business they are purchasing from is dependable and its products are quality or reliable. Even if this is not necessarily the case. On the other side, bad branding is a cause of mistrust or ridicule. All of which can affect the bottom line of a business.
Branding is the first way that consumers recognise your business. It could be a logo, a jingle or a recognisable ambassador. Think of the PG Tips monkey or the golden arches of McDonalds. When you see these brands you can instantly recognise which company they are from. If your branding is not recognisable, consumers will simply not realise that they are purchasing from your business. Meaning that you are missing out on valuable brand recognition.
With recognition comes value. If you had the choice between an unknown brand of ketchup or Heinz; chances are you would choose the more widely known brand. This is because it’s a recognised company. As a consumer you know you already like it, so why take the risk with a product you do not know?
Branding is also crucial in earning new customers. For instance, an existing customer is happy with your product and wants to recommend your business to a friend. That potential new customer may not know where to find you if your branding is unrecognisable. Most importantly, branding creates trust between a business and its customers. Recognition is crucial to forming trust. Trust is critical for customer retention.
Brand Strategies
Building a successful brand is hard work, but integral to the future of any business. There are many rebranding agencies that exist specifically for the purpose of revitalising brands. Each agency has its own unique strategy, but each should centre around 3 key components. These components are resources, perspective and consistency.
Resources are critical to the success of a brand. Earning recognition for your company takes an investment of both time and financial resources. Many hours have to be invested in designing the look and feel of your business. Both acquiring the right logo that truly represents your business and construction of a full website take time. Once these projects have been successfully completed, marketing is required to promote your business. Spreading the word and building a customer base requires skill and market knowledge. It is not surprising that a lot of companies in the UK outsource this part of their business to rebranding agencies.
Perspective is a substantial part of manufacturing a brand. Can the brand builder within your company review your business with an outside point of view. If the brand builder has been an employee for several years, their vision may be narrowed and set in its ways. It is important to think like a potential customer. Another reason outside rebranding agencies are a good investment.
If your company has a high employee turnover responsibilities will keep being shuffled around. If this happens with your brand builder, your branding may lack consistency. When a company loses its direction the business’ message can be diluted. This has the potential to cause damage to not only their reputation, but also their bottom line.
