Business Branding: You hear brands and branding discussed all the time. You hear it from all industries in the developed world. But what exactly do these words mean? More specifically, how does branding work on the web? Marketup.gr has answers for these questions. More importantly, we can put this knowledge to work online.
What is your Brand?
Essentially, your brand is all about how people perceive you. It has to do with the images, information and experiences that others have relating to your business.
When it comes to your online presence, there is so much more to think about than just your website. Your brand must shine—and be consistent—across many platforms and media.
Values & Purpose
Your brand should be firmly rooted in your “Why”—meaning. Why your company exists? and what you bring to the table? Along with conveying the values of your brand, your website should quickly be able to answer questions like these:
- What exactly does your company do?
- Which products and services do you offer?
- How will customers benefit from them?
Personality
In addition to what you do, your brand includes how you do it.
The impression that customers have of your business (innovative or traditional), is a major component of your brand. Factors such as these play a role in conveying your brand’s personality:
- The design of your logo
- The tone of the content on your website and blog
- The colors that appear on your site and in your ads
Consistency
Who wants to keep shifty, unreliable people in their lives? More importantly, who wants to give their money to a business that behaves that way? If a company does not seem to know its own purpose or identity, it won’t inspire trust in its prospects and customers. That’s why consistency is crucial when it comes to building a brand. Among other things, this can mean:
- Keeping your messaging uniform on all media, while still considering the audience
- Using the same colors, fonts and themes on your website, social media and marketing collateral
- Making sure that your website functions properly and is intuitive for your site visitors to use
Where is Your Brand?
EVERYWHERE.
Your brand is anywhere people engage with you or talk about you. Usually, your website will be the main place this happens, – it’s where customers will come to learn about your company. It also includes such sites as:
