From Our IT Consultants: Is It Time to Upgrade Your Network? – Part 2: Things You Need to Know From Our Network Support Technicians: Time to Secure Your Network? Part 1: Protecting Trade Secrets from Employee Theft

Does Your Company Have a Trustworthy Brand?

Every business promises value – a reliable product, high-quality service, etc. So why do more customers buy from certain companies over others? They have a trustworthy brand.

Everyone knows the Nike Swoosh, the Macintosh Apple or the McDonald's Golden Arches. These are brand images – symbols intended to reflect the company's specific value promises. Brand images are part of each company's corporate identity – which includes the brand and the language behind it describing their products.

Can You Afford NOT to Have a Brand?

The main advantage of branding your company is that people remember you. Remembering good experiences with your brand creates trust. And it's a simple fact; people buy from businesses they know & trust.

If your brand is known & trusted, customers are more likely to turn to you, recommend you to others, buy more…branding can even overcome price objections. Branding is powerful.

Branding also has several parts to it. A central Brand Message & related value promises, a logo (like the images we mentioned), and a consistent look & feel throughout the business (website, marketing materials, etc.).

These must reflect the products/services you provide, as well as what makes you unique in the market. So they must be consistent all across the board. All of these marketing areas must reflect your brand in unison:

• Website Layout
• Website Content
• Online Ads
• Presentations
• PR
• Tradeshow Material
• Packaging
• Service Forms
• Reception Scripts
