Rebranding Your Business: Good or Bad?

Rebranding is an inevitable part of long-term business. If your company is still functioning the same way as it did when it first started, a rebrand might be in order. Rebranding can liven up the public’s image of your business. Think of it as a facelift for your company, a way to attract a fresh and youthful new customer base. Everyone can use more customers, right? Here are a few tips that will help you through the rebranding process.

1.)  Be ready for change – Open yourself up to change. Change is inevitable, so be prepared for it.

2.)  Determine your mission – Be clear about what the problem is that you are trying to solve and make that mission your aim.

3.)  Talk to people – Poll your customers, employees, business partners and industry experts on their opinions of your company.

4.)  Measure your total market – Study what is going on both inside and outside your industry. It is good to know what is going on in all arenas.

5.)  Research the competition and seek allies – This is pretty self-explanatory; know what your competition is doing. But don’t hate; instead, make friends with your competitors and collaborate on projects that benefit your target base.

Rebranding can be great, but only if it’s done right. After all, you don’t want to end up like this business. Info from this article provided by our friends at Inc.com.
