Brand is nothing but an image of a particular product or a company that it has in the market for itself. It’s basically a company’s face, consumers recognize the product and the service by its brand especially in today’s market scenario where the market has extended its arms to the world. Hence brand building becomes an important asset of any business and not only to survive in the market but also to gain the trust of the consumers.
Now let’s talk about how or what can be done in order to build a brand. Well it’s not an easy task to cope in such a market where the world is your audience. But definitely there are ways to achieve it and we have companies doing it. For example, Tata Motors, Apple, Nestle and many more.
Firstly one should think strategically how to build their brand as it is a way by which you define your company to the consumers, your staff and investors. So what I believe is that one should always keep in mind the values and beliefs of its audiences. Because once they connect with a brand emotionally they also become loyal towards it.
Secondly you have to be different to get noticed. Don’t do what everyone is already doing. One has to keep an eye in the market to keep up with the growing competition and also to understand the needs and values of its audience along with the consumers. Once you gain the trust and the loyalty from your audience it gets a little easy for you in the long run for you to maintain that position. However one cannot take this for granted too as loyalty can change overnight if you get a competitor who is doing that little extra for its audience.
Also to make sure that your company is always the most trusted one and liked by the people. Innovation has to be done time and again so that people keep getting new stuff or should I say they too remain up to date with the world. And also it needs to be done on time or may be before when our consumers are ready to use it. Like Blackberry was probably the first one to introduce emails on mobiles but they stopped there. And the mobile companies took it from there by giving there audience much more than emails for example, camera gaming apps etc.
Now that you have built that trust and loyalty make sure you maintain it and leave legacy behind. Your company as a whole should be aware of one sole thing that what they are known for like HP’s core idea is computers and PepsiCo is in chips and beverages. Your Identity should never be in crisis as it may lead to some major issues in the market.
Last and not the least you should always thank your people for what they have to help you build your brand not only your employees need to be rewarded but the consumers too. One should engage themselves in some or the other meaningful social activities that could help your society or nation in some way or the other.
