What is branding?
Branding is what differentiates you from the hundreds of other companies out there. The name and logo of any reputable brand carry with itself a sense of authority. Executed correctly, brands hold the power to convert potential buyers into lifelong consumers.
A brand is a collection of perceptions people harbour towards your company. Branding on the other hand represents the actions you take to cultivate and promote that image/perception.
How essential is branding to marketing?
Consumers do not trust the product, they trust the brand. Brands are more than just a logo or a quirky catchphrase. It’s an emotion that drives them to take action. Branding is important because it signifies the positive reaction consumers have towards a particular product or service. Branding creates a unique style and recognition that is exclusive to your company. It increases your exposure in the market and helps you stand out from the crowd.
There are no shortages of rebranding failures in the history of marketing. Mastercard, Capital One, Gap, Kraft, Tropicana have fallen victims to damaging brand image and have lost millions in the process of reversing the pain. Therefore, maintaining a consistent branding experience across all of your products and items is the key to successful branding.
A logo comprises the brand’s entire personality. It’s an easy-to-recognize image that embeds itself into your mind and reminds you of good/bad times you experienced with said product. It’s a powerful part of the branding process. Pick someone with prior experience to build your logo, because it’s going to be the face of your company. The same rules apply when you’re picking a font, colour scheme, and shape of your logo. Even the social media posts you put out must in some way represent your brand’s true essence.
