What The Heck Is Branding?
Why do I need it? And who makes up these rules anyway?
When you think Branding what thoughts or images run through your head? Do your eyes glaze over and you panic? You’re trying to get your message out into the world but you don’t know where to start? Having a cohesive identity is key! It’s developed though planning, creative design, photography, styling, merchandising, and marketing. This is NOT a “one-size-fits-all” approach.
Since Branding is your most valuable asset, let’s dive in on what makes it so important.
Branding is more than a catchy name, creative logo and tagline, but it’s what makes your company remarkable. You need to leave a meaningful impression on all those who come in contact with your brand. Not only does this encourage customers to buy from you but it’s also the foundation for your marketing efforts.
Together we’ll get to the heart of your story and evolve your brand into a solid platform to support your future.
Let’s not forget that your brand is also something you don’t see.
Think of the experience someone has with your brand. I call this the “warm and fuzzies”. This could be an interactive experience in your store, website, or on social media. Anytime someone interacts with YOU, they’re immersing themselves with your brand.
The 3 C's of Branding
Put your best foot forward. If you don’t properly manage the voice of your brand, you may not get the result you ’re after.
Clarity
Get clear on what your brand is about. Successfully deliver the values that make you head and shoulders above the competition.
Consistency
The hallmark of a well developed brand. Consistently communicates to the world that you’re what you say you are, and the understanding of what you are not.
Constancy
Keeping your brand visible, in the public eye. This develops and maintains the strength of your brand.
