Are you ready for a crash course in <\/span>online branding?<\/b> You’ve come to the right place.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Your brand sums up everything you want your customers to know about your product or service in one bite. That includes your business image, your brand ‘personality’ and the perception your customers have of your business \u2013 or the one you want them to have. Your brand should be consistent online as well as offline. Why? To put it simply, branding is important as it helps to build trust with potential customers and assist them in making a purchasing decision. It builds trust, reputation, and acts as the foundation of your relation with your customers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What makes your brand stand out online? Why should customers choose you over another brand? And how are you communicating this information? These are three questions any visitor to your website should be able to answer within minutes of arriving.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is branding?<\/span><\/h2>\n

To start with, let\u2019s talk about what we mean by branding. BC (Before Coronavirus), branding included your website, logo, business cards and storefront or offices. Now that e-commerce is booming<\/span> in South Africa<\/span><\/a>, an essential part of your branding is your website. Visitors to your site need to know who you are, what you offer, and why to choose you as soon as they land on your homepage. <\/span><\/p>\n

Finding your brand story<\/span><\/h2>\n

The simplest way to do that is to tell them. But nobody is going to fall in love with a brand that just says, \u201cWe sell products at a good price. Please choose us.\u201d To win customers over, you need to find your brand story. Think of brands you love \u2013 <\/span>OneDayOnly<\/span><\/a>, Nando\u2019s, Yuppiechef. Don\u2019t they feel as if they have their own personality, their own flavour? That\u2019s what a brand story gives you \u2013 a succinct way of telling customers what makes you special.<\/span><\/p>\n

Part of your brand story is, of course, about your products or services: what made you choose to get into this line of business. Another part is about your founding story: why you decided to start your business. Perhaps you\u2019ve <\/span>turned your hobby into a business<\/span><\/a>, or <\/span>built it yourself<\/span><\/a>, brick by brick (if you need help building a website quickly, you can\u2019t go wrong with <\/span>Managed WordPress Hosting.<\/span><\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n

The secret sauce is what sets you apart: what makes you unlike every other business. You should be able to speak about your brand\u2019s purpose in a sentence or two: that\u2019s your brand story.<\/span><\/p>\n

Competitor analysis<\/span><\/h2>\n

A straightforward way of figuring out your brand story is by looking at your competitors. Who is operating in the same space and what are they offering? What are their Unique Selling Points (USPs) and how are yours different? This could be the way your website looks, the words you\u2019ve chosen, your customer service or the product or service itself. When customers think of your business segment, you want them to think of you \u2013 how can you make that happen? It can be helpful to draw up a competitor analysis where you list your competitors, what makes them unique and how you are different<\/span><\/p>\n

Make your brand smashable<\/span><\/h2>\n

The idea of a <\/span>smashable brand<\/span><\/a> dates back to 1915 when Coca Cola asked for a bottle that would be recognisable as a Coke bottle even if it was in a hundred pieces. If you removed the logo from your website \/ Facebook posts \/ Instagram posts \/ newsletters \/ printed materials, would it still be instantly recognisable? Ideally, you want people to have a consistent experience of your brand no matter where they see it. Perhaps it\u2019s a few seconds on social media, an article shared on email, and a Google ad, but those pieces put together form a consistent impression. They recognise your brand. As you <\/span>grow your business<\/span><\/a>, branding becomes even more important.<\/span><\/p>\n

So where to begin with your online branding? Your website. You need a professional website, <\/span>hosted by a reliable web hosting company<\/span><\/a> that can help you achieve your business goals. You want to write meaningful content that will appeal to your customers, and ensure your <\/span>SEO strategy<\/span><\/a> is solid. From there, it\u2019s a step-by-step process of crafting your brand until it\u2019s as memorable as Nando\u2019s and as smashable as Coke.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Now that you know the basics of brand-building, have fun crafting an impressive brand story for your website. And remember, if you need any <\/span>web hosting<\/span><\/a> help, <\/span>we\u2019re available day and night<\/span><\/a> to answer your questions.<\/span><\/p>\n
