Why is Branding Important for Business?

Every year billions of dollars are spent by companies on branding efforts. Branding goes beyond just logo or name of the company. It is everything that the public associates with a brand. It could be colours, product design, messaging, quality and much more. Brands strive to make a mark and stay memorable. This translates into enhanced business value. In this blog we will discuss the key reasons why branding is important for your business.

Reflecting your core values

A brand helps in establishing what your company stands for. The core values of your business will impact every aspect of your business decisions, including branding. The way you react to different situations, take a stand on moral and global issues, communicate and behave with the world will all be a part of your branding and be guided by your core values. This approach highlights a clear path for your marketing strategies, research and development and customer service strategies and saves a lot of time and effort. It ultimately contributes to your personality as a brand and sets a precedent for what people can expect from you.

Customer Relationships

Customers take time to trust a brand. With strong and consistent branding, you can build familiarity, brand recall and deeper connections with your customers. A good brand will always stand out and be recognized by customers with the help of branding. This builds a base of loyal customers who will always be inclined to choose your brand over others.

Enhance Company Value

A company is valued not only for its tangible assets but also for the value it holds as a brand. The ‘goodwill’ that a company creates is a result of great branding that has resulted in customer loyalty, customer retention and better turnovers. It is often seen that customers are willing to pay a higher price for a brand that they believe in. This is called the ‘brand mark-up phenomenon’. This also helps when launching new products or services as customers will base their decision on previous experience and perception of the brand.

Motivate Employees and Attract Talent

A brand helps you in making your company an aspirational workplace. You can attract the best of talent and beat the competition as individuals are more likely to choose a brand that they recognize and trust. For existing employees, working for a brand helps them in aligning with the overall goals of the company. It also enables them to envision how they are contributing to the company and sometimes also to the community. Employees are motivated when they believe in the company’s cause and will become brand ambassadors for the brand.

Beat the Competition

Customers have a lot of choice in today’s markets, which is enhanced by options available offline as well as online. Differentiating yourself from a sea of similar products and services is a challenge that companies need to navigate. From your logo, colours, and product design, to your messaging and values, all are a part of your branding that enables you to attract more customers. Reinforcing your brand with good quality products and services, a personalized approach and great customer service also go a long way in strengthening your brand.

Realize Business Benefits with Branding

Branding has numerous benefits that go beyond just making your logo and products look good. It is deeper rooted and has the potential to create a valuable business. Your brand can be a transformational factor in the growth of your company by creating better customer recall, retaining customers and building better deliverables by attracting the right talent.
