Rethinking Brand Strategies
It might feel radical to consider changing or even retiring a long-standing brand, but sometimes it's necessary. If your sales are stagnant, it might be time to bring in a branding consultant to revamp your strategy.
Brands are integral to your product and corporate value proposition. With communication channels more pervasive than ever, corporate and product branding are merging. This fusion means corporate brands significantly influence product sales, but it also carries risks. When sub-brands falter, repositioning them isn't always straightforward.
Adapting to Cultural Shifts
As time progresses, cultural preferences evolve, new technologies emerge, and competition increases, altering market perceptions. Aging brand images might end up causing more harm than good, anchoring companies to outdated successes.
Take the computer industry, for example. I recently bought a new laptop because my old one couldn't meet my multitasking needs. The decision wasn’t centered on processor speed as it used to be with Intel; instead, an AMD laptop offered the features I needed?"ample memory, a high-resolution screen, and a lightweight design?"all at a better price. This shift shows how consumer preferences have changed over time.
Laptops are now affordable for many, transforming the shopping experience. The old Intel brand, once synonymous with cutting-edge technology, no longer dictated my choice.
Intel’s branding, steeped in past technology, no longer resonates in a market where processors aren't the sole focus. Their previous positioning around speed is now less relevant. To regain influence, Intel needs to align its brand with current consumer priorities, moving beyond the once-revered Pentium era.
On the other hand, Google exemplifies modern branding by diversifying beyond search engines to remain relevant across all web activities. Their omnipresent brand constantly adapts to the internet culture.
Letting Go of Outdated Concepts
Brand managers and executives often resist rebranding due to the comfort of familiarity and fear of short-term profit losses. However, investing in a branding consultant can be invaluable. These experts can identify current brand issues, assess market culture, and explore new brand identities or positions.
Many old brands aren’t doomed?"they’re simply outdated and not aligned with the target market. A branding consultant can provide insights into market perceptions, enhance brand value, foster loyalty, and unveil new value propositions that could revitalize your brand.
By embracing change and forward-thinking strategies, businesses can remain competitive and relevant in a rapidly evolving market.
