Branding
Branding is arguably the most important factor for a company’s success. What your customers say about your business and how you are viewed by your competitors is the foundation for every company. I’ve personally witnessed several companies throughout the years trying to expand and left their branding strategy on the back burner thinking it’s not as important expansion projects. Before they knew it, they were driven down into a nasty financial rut and wondering how they could have ever gotten so far down there.
Well, it’s simple construction concept, if you try to build or expand without improving the foundation, the building will crumble. You don’t have any hope to make your company bigger and better without first expanding your branding foundation.
Just like in building a house, using the right material and techniques is vitally important to creating a strong foundation. Deciding on which branding strategy largely depends on your how you view the company and how you want your clients to perceive your company. For example, if you see yourself a small tech company that tries to target local millennials, using references to popular hangout spots in the city, using social media ad campaigns, and yes, even using meme references can be powerful and inexpensive tools that develop your brand.
This is also the cool thing about branding, you decide how you want to be perceived. All you have to do is decide which way you want to be viewed, come up with a strategy, and execute it throughout your company. Then just sit back and watch the sparks fly between your customers and your company.
