Why Is Branding so Important?

 

Branding goes far beyond a mere logo or graphic design element. When you consider a brand, you need to think about the entire customer experience. Everything from the logo to the website, social media experiences and presence, and even to the way you answer your phone. It all contributes to the ever-important customer experience. When you think of the broad definition of branding, it can become quite overwhelming taking on board everything involved in your company’s brand.

 

In short, your brand is the way your customer perceives you. This is why it is so important to be aware of your brand experience, and to have a plan of action to create the brand experience that you want to have. A great brand does not just happen, it is a well thought out and strategically executed plan. As businesses of all sizes know today, it is no longer good enough to have a superior product or service. This alone will not secure your future success.

 

If you are not delivering a superior customer experience, one that is better than your competitors’, then you are treading water. It has become all about the customer journey. Consumers are putting more value on the service and experience they receive, and will rather go with the company seen as going the extra mile to provide a great experience. You can have the best service in your industry, but if you deliver a bad customer experience, no one will spend their money on it.

 

Branding Promotes Recognition

 

Whether you are spending money on branded gazebos, your online presence, or in-store products, you are investing in building your brand. Consumers tend to do business with companies they are familiar with. If your branding is consistent and easily recognisable, it helps consumers feel more at ease purchasing your services or products. What’s more, your brand sets you apart from the competition in an increasingly crowded marketplace, regardless of what sector of the economy you trade in. In today’s global market, it is important to stand apart from the crowd. You are not competing on a local stage any longer; your organisation now competes nationally and, often, on a global scale.
