Customers are your brand advocate. The consistency of connecting dots needs to be in the practice of many great values, highlighting some unique and outstanding ones as a strong brand.
Your corporate brand should reflect the "substance" of the business - your vision, mission, value, and culture.
What’s in the customers’ mind when they think about your brand? Forward thinking companies across the vertical sectors intend to become people-centric businesses. Business leaders and managers to keep pondering: Does your business solutions make logical sense to customers? What’s the customer’s impression of your brand? Do you offer great rewards to your most loyal customers to make them feel special, and advocate your brand? Or do you push them away and ignore their emotional cycles?
All staff need to believe that the customer is the lifeline of the business. Not only when they walk into your store, interact with your product and speak to your staff, but also when they get in contact via multiple interaction channels, or get products/service at each touch point. The entire customer journey and experience they have of your brand at each stage needs to be mapped out clearly to be sure that your customer is getting the best service, and that their experience is consistent, on-brand, relevant and refreshing.
Do you have all (if possible) audiences at every level of enterprise weighed-in with delight to build a brand? To build a consistent strong brand name, the management needs to check: Is “what you look '' consistent with “who you are ”? And don’t forget to train the staff, they are the brand ambassadors and customer champions. Branding is not something that takes time away from the fundamentals of operations, execution, and management. It is instead a methodology, a different way of looking at how you do things, and double check why you do them. It is not necessarily an easy task to "brand" in a competitive and seemingly unforgiving market-driven environment. The consistency of connecting dots needs to be in the practice of the many great values, highlighting some unique and outstanding ones as a brand.
The employee has to do his or her part of having the right attitude, skills, and willingness to participate in the corporate brand development process. Across the organizational hierarchy, a good brand starts with being absolutely clear about what we do, who we will do it for, and crystal clarity about what value people will bring to the table, from creating a solid vision and mission statement to acting the way following well-set principles, to building a strong brand name. Business leaders should encourage and facilitate empowerment of their teams to develop a strong relationship with customers by understanding them better, providing the premium “choice, grade, range'' solutions for improving “higher-than-expected” customer satisfaction.
Do you ever have a brand? What’s the intricate relationship between culture and brand? Either individually or in the corporate setting, branding values are practicing behaviors in oneself. Culture brings speed to market, competitive advantage and defines your brand. Culture represents the ethos of the organization, as it has evolved since its inception. Culture becomes the way you discover yourselves, do business to delight customers. It is your brand promise. With a strong culture, the commitment is that we are all in this together and have our passions focused on a goal with a cohesive leadership to build a strong business brand.
Some managers are looking at the idea of creating logos and slogans not only to convey who their organization is and what it can offer but also to ensure that business clients won't forget it. But it’s simply not sufficient. Branding and internal marketing campaigns cannot be just puffery or publicity. If there’s no substance behind your key messages; if you cannot actually deliver the solutions you’re supposed to deliver, there’s no point in starting. Sometimes there's a gap between the management’s self-reflection and how others view your brand due to social, cultural or cognitive differences, so they have to make an influence on the toning business ecosystem to drive desired change.
Branding goes beyond logos or slogans. Customers are your brand advocate. The consistency of connecting dots needs to be in the practice of many great values, highlighting some unique and outstanding ones as a strong brand.
