Living your true brand life

lab/l • June 15, 2020

You know it don't you?  The brand in the image above.  It's the distinctive colour, the shape of the product and the familiarity of the way it's presented.  It's the brand.  It knows what it is and remains consistent to ensure consumers do to.

Knowing who your brand is underlies everything you do.  It has a personality, a voice and an image to maintain don't you know.  It has to speak to its customers in a way which will connect, drive loyalty and ultimately deliver sales.  After all, what is a business if it doesn't make money?  Here we outline a few key things to make sure your brand is living its best life.

Consistency 

Your brand is much more than your logo, but your logo is part of your brand.  Colours, styles and messages must be consistent in order to build a picture of how you want your brand to be perceived and you must maintain it across all platforms and in both internal and external marketing.


Recognition

It's always nice to be recognised, isn't it? That's why consistency of message drives recognition and promotes a connection between the consumer and the brand.  It makes customers feel included in the activity and valued for their part in the brand's success.


Trust  

Both consistency and recognition build trust.  Trusting your brand enables you to enter new markets or introduce new products to an already receptive consumer. However, this comes with responsibility so you must make sure you get it right.


Pride  

Building a successful brand externally should translate into proud employees.  Working for a successful brand and then demonstrating the brand values internally nurtures a sense of inclusion and overall job satisfaction. 


Value

And the ultimate aim, value.  Real commercial value that can be leveraged when looking for investment or a sale.  The success of your brand can be the shining light of your business if you maximise the opportunities it can create for you. Partnerships, sponsorships and community activities can all help propel your brand to the next level.

A question mark from Label Marketing - Getting the message right
By lab/l February 11, 2021
In March last year at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic we had strong words delivered with conviction and displayed on a lectern for the world to see. The messages were short, colour coded and gave a clear picture as to the important factors during this crisis. However, it wasn’t long before these changed, the person delivering them read them in the wrong order and it started to become confusing. It has now returned to the original message, and one that has been held for several weeks, but unfortunately the damage has already been done. The underlying principle of marketing is to know your audience and communicate with them effectively. Many organisations have had to change their working practices and adapt to the changing landscape ahead of them. The businesses that succeeded have remained true to their brand and their audience and connected with them effectively. Retailers who have placed more focus on their apps, social media and websites rather than their stores have strengthened their customer relationships and continued to deliver their key brand messages effectively. Whilst those slower to act (or those who haven’t said anything at all) have unfortunately failed and as a result our high streets will look markedly different when the new normal is implemented. Banks, consultancies and professional services who have embraced a more flexible approach to client interaction have also prospered using digital marketing to consistently communicate key information to reassure their customers. If you change the way you do things you can’t expect your customers to guess, they need to be informed and this has to be both clear and consistent. Internally, businesses may be chaotic and reactive but outwardly, it is imperative they remain true to their core brand principles and get the right message across to their clients in the right way.
