Why Branding your Business is Important
Have you reached the maximum amount of sales possible? Never, is the answer to this question. Branching out with an online strategy for your business is the key to selling more.
How exactly should you go about marketing your business online? These are some key questions we see on the daily working with businesses at a digital marketing agency. You need a brand strategy just as much as you need search engine optimization (SEO). But everyone’s online strategy is unique, so branding should suit your company’s and customers’ needs.
People like familiarity.
When you hear someone talk about needing a product or service, what do you immediately do? Most people recommend a business or product they already know and trust. It’s usually tied to an experience they remember (a brand experience). Branding your company helps you build this personal connection with your customer. Having a memorable logo, message, and unique look helps people distinguish you from other businesses and makes you more accessible when referrals try to find you.
If your branding is sloppy, people will think you’re sloppy.
Sadly, presentation is everything. People do judge a book by its cover, at least at first. If your branding looks like a mess (but your products are the highest quality a lucky customer could ever come by), then people are still going to automatically assume you don’t know what you’re doing. Sloppy branding deters customers.
Companies that have been in business for a long time may remain rigid when it comes to this “branding” phenomenon. But in the 21st Century, branding is essential to the success of your business. Therefore, old companies need a brand revamp just as much as a digital marketing strategy.
You can either BE or be beat by THE COMPETITION.
Change — it’s easy to resist. But hesitating will only put you even farther behind your competitors. A good business person understands the importance of remaining flexible and taking action when necessary. Without beating the competition, you will be beat by the competition. An online brand strategy will help you build your customer base online, and snag more leads from competitors.
Presentation is a significant factor in selling more.
There’s a reason salesmen wear suits and look like a million bucks. When people look at your business website or pages online, they’re totally judging you. If they don’t see a website that’s up-to-date, informative or contains the information they need, they will assume your company operates in the same way. Presentation online doesn’t just stop at good design. You must also take into consideration that to be visible to potential customers you will likely need a mobile-friendly or responsive web design as well as an intuitive interface.
You just look professional, thus trustworthy.
No one buys from people they don’t like or trust. That is why a professional appearance is the quickest way to gain trustworthiness. Your customer should never be questioning “is this a real business?” A brand helps you build a professional presence with a logo, web design, and print collateral that speak to your customers.
