Build a Better Brand in 6 Easy Steps

Few, if any, would argue that clear branding is important for a company to be successful. Branding is one of the most critical components of a company because it is a company’s promise to its customers. Whether you are a startup or a Fortune 500, building and maintaining your brand will help sell your product and grow your business.

Consider the following 6 steps:

 

1. Define your brand.

Sure, you know what you’re selling and what your goals include, but does your customer? Ask yourself the following questions: What is my company about? What do we do? What are our strengths and weaknesses? Answering these questions should help define the brand.

 

2. Identify your customer.

Targeting the right people is essential to building the right brand. And identifying “everyone” as the target customer is a recipe for disaster. Who buys your product? Who should buy your product? Does your messaging work for the intended audience?

 

3. Strengthen your name.

Choosing a name for your brand or business is not as simple as it sounds. For one, you must make sure the name is not already in use. Also, you should check to be sure an available URL exists. A little research can save you hundreds of dollars and lots of frustration. You will want a website, so be sure you can build one with the name you select.

4. Create your logo.

What do you want your logo to portray? What emotions? When creating a logo, be sure to work with someone who knows graphic design. If you want a logo that says “strong and confident,” don’t allow a mediocre designer to create something that is fun and funky. Make sure your logo and your message are consistent.

 

5. Unify your message.

Speaking of consistency, everything in your brand should speak the same language. Your name and logo are just the beginning. Put your brand guidelines in writing to be sure everyone on your team is using your brand correctly. Branding companies in Denver can help with this.

 

6. Build your business.

You can build your brand in many ways–through social media, through mailers, through a website–but the key is simple: Build relationships. Your customers don’t want to be seen as dollar signs. They want to interact with you and feel heard. Listening is always productive.

 

Now go, build your brand in 6 simple steps.
