When it comes to business strategy, keeping your brand fresh is as vital as your morning coffee. But unlike that overpriced latte, a brand refresh doesn’t have to drain your wallet.
Here are some tips to make a big impact in the market without making a big dent in your budget.
Think of your brand like a garden. You can plant anywhere and hope for the best, or have a well-thought-out plan to guarantee great results. Start by defining what your brand stands for and what you want to achieve. A clear vision is like a green thumb for your budget, making every penny work harder – and smarter.
You don’t need to reinvent the wheel – or in this case, the logo. Look at your current brand assets – which can include logos, colour schemes, patterns, taglines etc – and see how they can be given a new lease of life. Sometimes, a fresh coat of paint is all it takes to breathe new life into your brand rather than a whole demolition job.
These days, every brand toolbox is full of budget-friendly digital options. Social media, email campaigns, and content marketing are like the Swiss Army knives of brand refreshes. They require minimal investment but can yield significant returns. Plus, with the added benefit of real-time results, you can see when your efforts are paying off, and when you need to change tack.
A brand refresh isn’t just about looking good; it’s about feeling good. Improving customer service, enhancing your website’s usability, and engaging with your audience can transform perceptions without draining your resources. Sending a survey out to your database is an easy way to get feedback on small improvements that can make a big difference to the way customers feel about your brand.
