Your brand is only what your customers think of, and trust, in you,
your company, and your products/services. It is NOT your logo.
A major process in building your brand is to ensure that you relay to
your customer a clear idea of how you want to be thought of. Once you have this
in mind, you must then consider everything that you say, do, print, and display,
from that moment forward, as investments in your brand.
YOUR BRAND IS A LONG TERM INVESTMENT
Invest in your brand.
In everything that you say and do, ask yourself: Will
this get me closer to where I want to be in the mind of my customers?
"If you don't know where you want to go, any road will get you there". It’s
just a saying, but what does not hold true, is that in business, you will not
always get there, whether you have a map (business/marketing plan), or not. If
you do not have clear and measurable objectives, and know where you want to take
your business, the road will be long, expensive, and you may not succeed at
reaching your destination.
Ask yourself: Do I have a clear, marketing and brand
strategy?
Are the objectives measurable?
Are the objectives important?
Dr. Oren Harari, professor of business and communications at the University
of San Francisco, in his book “Leapfrogging The Competition” stresses an urgent
mantra:
“Eat Change for Breakfast! Change! Always be prepared to
change.”
Release the old adages: “We never did it that way”. “I have never seen it
done that way”.
There is another adage:
Why would you continue to do the same things, over and over, and expect
different results? Change! CHANGE!!
Do different things, not just the same things differently.
Look around your company, ASK YOUR CUSTOMERS…What could I do to make
your experience better? Then, DO IT.
At every chance ask yourself: Is this an opportunity for
me to break through with my brand, my vision, my strategy? If you think it
is…TRY IT!. What if it works?
Improving your effectiveness is crucial to your long-term success. Invest
