Branding is crucial for any business. It’s a way for customers to identify you easily and effectively. If you’re confused at all about how to create or develop a brand for your business, don’t worry. Even people who study marketing can get confused at times.

We’re here to help explain what branding is and how to take the best advantage of it!

What is branding?

Definition:

“A brand is a name, term, design, symbol, or any other feature that identifies one seller’s good or service as distinct from those of other sellers” (American Marketing Association).

A brand is an image that comes to people’s minds when thinking about a company’s products, services, and activities.

It can also be related to their experience. For example, their emotions when using a product, as well as the physical feeling of whatever they are in contact with that involves your company. It’s not just the physical features of your brand but also the feelings customers create that make up your brand.

A brand my have certain core values that often reflect the owner of the company. Part of your brand could be fast and easy shipping, reliable products, easy interaction with employees, and so on.

Messaging is critical. Your brand’s core values need to match your advertisements in order to relay your brand effectively. Branding is all about evoking your potential consumers’ emotions.

Brand Identity

Brand identity has a wide range of elements, such as logo, color palette, design, theme, product, packaging design, and in-store experience.

The logo and color scheme are some of the most important aspects of your brand. You want to treat it like a sports team logo. When they see that logo or those colors, they instantly know what it is. If they see similar design elements elsewhere, they remind them of your business.

Once again, your logo and color scheme will also remind them of the emotions they have for your product. So, creating a logo and picking colors that go along with your core beliefs is crucial.

Brandings and advertisement

Branding and advertisements go hand-in-hand. Whether you’re advertising on websites, TV, ads, radio, podcasts, social media platforms, your brand will be visible. These methods of advertisement will expose your products/services and will begin to make them recognizable to your audience. Make sure your logo is always visible.

Advertising is a powerful tool to create and shape a brand universe. This type of marketing is one of the most visual ways for your consumer to experience your brand. Advertising tells a story about the product/company and causes your consumers to visualize what you have to offer.

Why is branding important

Branding is so important because of its massive impact on your overall business. Branding can change how people perceive your company. It also has the ability to drive new business and increase brand awareness.
