Consider Your Logo

A great logo can be considered the ‘holy grail’ for branding. A memorable logo can make a company instantly recognisable. Car brands have used this to their advantage for years, with simple logos coming to stand for all of the company values – Ferrari’s luxury sports cars, for example. Technology companies have also got on board with the power of a logo, with Apple’s logo becoming synonymous with good design and expensive products. Your logo should be eye-catching and useful. Look at the styles of competitors’ logos and think about utilising similar ideas, but make sure yours stands out from the crowd.

Get Your Employees Involved

This Guardian article discusses the need for employees to connect with and understand the company brand. If you want your business’s values to reflect great customer service, then your employees should be trained accordingly.  When we discuss training it can involve communication, strategy planning and social media, so for your employees and your business to succeed you could look into Cheltenham PR at sites such as www.targetgroup.co.uk/.  If you work in an industry where uniforms are worn, make sure all employees follow the uniform rules and that they look presentable when representing your brand.

Connect with Your Audience

Your brand should be either impressive and corporate or friendly and relaxed, depending on the type of business you run. For example, a bank’s branding would need to be serious, whereas a food and beverage company may want their brand to come across as ‘home-spun’. Great branding will present an idea to your customers; you just need to decide what that idea or image will be.

Once you’ve had some thoughts about your branding, it may be time to hire a professional to help you put your plans into place; you’ll then be well on your way to creating a truly great brand.
