You probably already know this, but we can’t get to the steps of honing your brand identity until this is super clear – Your brand is more than just your logo or your business name.
It’s the overall image and perception that people have of your business. It’s the emotions and feelings that your business evokes in your clients and customers. It’s the promise that you make to your audience about what they can expect from your business.
And a LOT hinges on whether or not you’ve cultivated the right perception.
Here are just a few of the reasons you need stellar branding.
As I’ve mentioned before, more and more businesses are popping up online. While I truly believe there’s room for everybody, it does make it more challenging to grab the attention of the people you want to work with.
Consistent, quality branding across all of your marketing materials can help you stand out from the competition and make a lasting impression on potential clients and customers.
When you have a clear understanding of your target market and a brand that speaks directly to them, you’ll be more likely to attract the people you ACTUALLY want to work with. Plus, they’ll be more likely to turn into longtime fans, repeat customers, and referrals.
When you have a clear brand that you can refer to, it can make decisions in your business so much simpler. Onboarding a social media manager? Brand guidelines are CRUCIAL. Adding a course or membership to your offer suite? Wayyy easier to align everything with your brand so you don’t miss a beat.
It takes time and effort to build a strong brand, but the bottom line is that it’s a worthwhile investment that will exponentially add to the longevity (and profitability) of your business.
So HOW do you build an irresistible, scroll-stopping, revenue-generating brand?
