Building a Strong Brand for your Business
What is your company’s reputation?
Every company has a reputation amongst consumers. Even if a business hasn’t actively tried to brand itself in a certain way, people have made up in their own minds what you stand for.
This is why it is critically important to try and build up the image that you want; otherwise people will do it for you. Think of Microsoft (seen as un-cool and corporate) or BP (big polluter), these companies and others did not try and be seen in these ways but, through their own actions, have come across in this way. On the other hand, companies like Apple and Google have successfully shaped their own positive image in peoples’ minds. How did they do this? They achieved it through consciously creating a Brand roadmap for themselves and sticking to that script with rigorous dedication.
A brand is not merely your logo or corporate colors. Your brand is the sum-total of everything about your company: your look and feel, your culture, how you interact with your customers, how you keep your promises, the way you do business, etc. Just like with a person, they can dress in expensive clothes, be charming and persuasive, drive an expensive car, but if they constantly go back on their word to you the rest falls away and they are then known as unreliable. It is much the same for companies.
A business can look big and professional, with a multimillion dollar website and large corporate headquarters, but if they are shipping defective products and give lousy customer service, people will no longer trust them.
Building a brand for a company begins with discovering what it is about a particular business that is its ‘soul’; the raison d’etre for its existence. Making money as the main reason for being in business is not a strong core value. What is it about your business that you can do better than anyone else? The answer to this question should not be taken lightly. Most companies are good at what they do, but it takes a major effort to be the best; and most companies aren’t willing to put in that extra effort for a variety of reasons.
