Branding is important because not only is it the visual identity of a business, but it also produces a sense of familiarity. It is the act of shaping your brand. Brand storytelling is an emotional narrative used to connect your brand to your customers.
Branding is a powerful technique used to define your brand to your audience. It is giving value to your brand by adding a personality and an identity. It has a strong effect on the mind of a human.
What is branding?
Branding is not your logo, website, or business name. Branding is an impact. It is an impact on the emotional and psychological side of a human. It is a vision, a feeling, a connection. It is what your mind remembers. Branding is not about your logo, but it is rather the message that you are sending to the world.
BRAND STORYTELLING IS EVERYTHING
Make your brand a human.
Make your brand a human. What do I mean by that? Human, what? Yes, you heard that right! Think of your brand as a human whom you are introducing to the world. What identity will you give to your “human”? Is your brand playful, serious, confident, humorous, or maybe subtle? You have the control to define it. But, do not complicate it. Be true to yourself. You know what identity fits your brand. Do not put your brand in the shoes of someone else. Be true to yourself and to your brand.
Authenticity is very crucial in the branding of a business. You know your brands’ true potential. Your customers will feel comfortable building a connection with something authentic, not something ‘random’. Remember this.
- Get comfortable with your brand.
- Be confident about the identity of your brand.
- Do not over-complicate.
- Be authentic.
Why is strategic branding important?
Strategic branding refers to the method, place, reason, and the audience to whom you are communicating your brand message to. The aim of a brand strategy is to make people aware of your brand, the message you are communicating, and what you offer.
To come up with a successful brand strategy, it is important for you to know your objectives, your ideal customers, and your competitors. A well-thought out brand strategy will let the world know that you exist.
