The brand doctor is someone you might not have met before, but someone you definitely need to introduce yourself to. Building a successful brand is something that’s just going to happen at the drop of a hat, and the building blocks of the brand that you first created isn’t going to be the building blocks that are there at the end. Every brand switches and changes around, some so much so that they completely change their name and logo. But we’re not going to ask you to get to the point where you think you have to change your whole brand.
The brand doctor definitely wouldn’t order that for a smaller business, unless of course a whole new route is needing to be taken, then we can understand that people might want to go and change their whole brand. Even the smallest of moves that you make to change your brand are going to get people looking. As soon as something changes, people notice, and as long as the changes that you make are positive, it’ll spark people’s interest in your business for all of the right reasons. Some might not, they might just change the way your business is ran for the better! So, keep on reading, and find out what we think the brand doctor has ordered.
A Bit Of A Spruce Up
A bit of a spruce up is most definitely what the brand doctor ordered, especially if you’ve had the same things going on for a while now. We’re thinking about the way you present yourself as a business, and the things you can do to change that. For example, if you’ve had the same logo for a while now, think about how you can spruce it up. We don’t mean changing it in anyway, as that can get rather confusing for a small business to start doing. But we do think you should take it to a graphic designer, and have it spruced up a little bit. Even just changing the quality of the image used, the text, or perhaps enhancing the colours a little bit. Anything you can do to make your brand look that little bit sharper, you should be doing. You could also think about things like adding a motto to your brand if you don’t have one at the minute. People love to have something to associate with a brand, and having a catchy motto or slogan could be the thing for you to do. Anything you can do to help your brand stick in people’s mind, is a spruce up worth doing!
Something Innovative
Being innovative is definitely what the brand doctor ordered, and there’s plenty of things you can do to your business, that will directly impact the image of your brand. You want your image to be smart, professional, and an image that’s going to draw people towards your business quickly. You want to be innovative with things such as the software that you produce that’s going to help you run your business, and your customers use it. So, you could team up with companies such as Praxent, and create a database of your customers to log into that will allow them to view, change, and cancel their orders. Only big companies seem to offer this, and it streamlines the process so much for both parties. You could have something put it that stops your customers cancelling after a certain time so that you’re not losing out on money. So the dashboard on a whole will add some professionalism and ease of use that your brand might be lacking at the minute.
A Change In Your Own Views
You are your brand, and you are an ambassador for it even though you might not realise it. Your views are going to change the way your brand is managed, and you can easily so so much wrong by having a negative attitude in business. Some company owners have no drive or motivation, and breathe no life into a business, and it really does show from the outside. So, if you know you’re lacking the motivation that you need at the minute, and you’ve been stuck in your ways for a while now, you need to remember the goal that you had when you first set up. Even if you’re not really making any progression towards it at the minute, you have to stay motivated and stay alive. Be buzzing about business, always look for ways that you can better your own, and be the face of happiness when everyone around you might be stressing just as much as you are. You really can take your brand to new heights if you just change the attitude that you have at the minute!
