Branding basics and the importance of branding your business well

Australia is a nation of entrepreneurs, and thanks to the growth of the internet and it’s reach, there’s nothing stopping your business from expanding into a global powerhouse, offering your products and services all over the world.

If you’re a newly established business, you are probably focused on establishing your current and future success by creating a strong financial plan, sound infrastructure and good supplier relationships. However, you shouldn’t overlook the importance of having strong branding.

When many people think of a brand they think of visual elements such as a logo or website. While this is an important part of branding, it would be more accurate to say that branding encompasses every point where an outside party interacts with your business.

Having a brand has many distinct advantages for small businesses:

• It creates an overall package and experience that others can instantly identify and differentiate from competitors, highlighting what you offer that many don’t.
• It creates something that customers, suppliers and business partners can place their trust in. A brand is something that employees can buy into, and feel part of, which can improve morale and productivity.
• It also creates something that can be referred to when existing clients mention your business to others. After all, it’s hard to recommend a brand to someone if you can’t tell them apart from the rest.

The Visual Part Of Branding

One of the most import parts of branding are the visuals such as graphics and imagery. Visuals along with quality content explaining or describing your products or services should be awesome. A nice looking graphic on social media is more likely to get clicked on to read more on your website. Once a user has visited your website this is then the starting point to gaining a new customer. A quality website created with conversion optimisation in mind including lead magnets is more likely to get a sale or enquiry and even if you don’t get the sale straight away and the visitor leaves we can then re-target. Once a person has visited your website we can then remarket them with ads on Facebook and Google to get them back again. Visuals such as banner ads with offers and deals or a product special can then gain a sale.
