7 Branding Tips For Small Businesses And Resources

Branding can’t happen overnight. It is the core element of everything you do in your business. Branding is who you are, who you want to be, what you show the world, and how people see you. The combination of these elements is what brings the business to greater heights. Building a brand isn’t easy, but WOWIT is here to make it easy for you.

Here’s the overview list of branding a small business:

1. Define your brand identity

Branding a small business requires you to define your company identity. It’s time that you understand what you want your brand to stand for. Here are a few questions that might help you define your purpose and help with your brand identity:

• Why your business exist?
• What do you want to accomplish through your brand?
• What is the motivation behind your business?
• What value are you offering to your customers?
• Why should people care about your brand?

Figuring out your business will help build your brand foundation for your company. You’ll be able to use those ideas to create your brand voice, messaging, slogans, taglines, and so much more. Also, studies say that 40% of consumers want to choose brands with a clear purpose and with no doubt. That’s why knowing your purpose and defining your brand identity will help.

2. Get creative with your brand and start designing

Think of these elements when you are designing your brand image:

Brand Name – Choosing a business name can be frustrating at times, especially if you have tons of options or can’t find one that fits your business. Choose the one that suits your brand and the products you are providing.

Brand Logo – Logos are the face of the company. Most people start at this element because they like to visualize what can be done. Being a strong brand correlates to having a memorable logo.

Tagline – A catchy tagline can last you for decades if it suits your business and is marketed properly.

3. Target Audience and Brand Competitors

If you are a new brand then it is really important for your company to know your target audience. Start focusing on your market and find out who your customers and competitors are. Doing this will help you know your brand better.

Here are some things to do/research:

• Talk to your target audience, ask what brands they like and the reason they support them.
• Look at social media accounts that your target audience follows.
• Know the market you are going into.
• Analyze your competitors.
• Look what your target audience is saying about your competitors.

4. Consistent Branding

You have most probably heard that ‘Consistency is Key.’ The risk you take when you are not branding consistently results in confusing your customers, and you can lose them to your competitors. That’s not what you want, so make sure the elements of your brand identity are applied consistently in all channels of your brand.

5. Empower Your Customers

Customer service is the key to brand recognition and longevity. If you help your customers succeed, your customers will help you in your brand’s success. Branding is all about the connectivity you have with your customers.
