The Top 3 Brand Mistakes
THE TOP 3 BRAND MISTAKES
If you're a business owner, you've been here before. You may not have noticed it, but it's likely that you've committed one of the top three brand mistakes. From cloudy customer journeys to bad branding and beyond these mistakes can push customers away and make running your business a challenge. But, there's no need to fret! All three of these mistakes have simple solutions. That's why I'm going to walk you through the top three brand mistakes every company makes (and how to avoid them.)
#1 YOU’RE OFFLINE
Yes, you have a website, social media presence, and you’ve done some marketing. But, are you really online? Do you have options for your customers to quickly reach out to you like live chat, Easily accessible customer support, or an interactive FAQs page?
Often times a job can be won or lost with one simple question. Whether that’s a customer wondering if you have same-day shipping or an individual that prefers to interact with a human instead of submitting a form. Having a tangible online presence that is informative, interactive, and frequently updated is one of the best possible ways to enforce that your brand cares in the eyes of a potential customer.
#2 NO FUNNEL
So, your brand is online and interactive but where are your customers headed? Often a brand lacks a clear funnel. While this funnel can take a multitude of forms, this most frequently is apparent through web design. Let’s do a quick checklist and see if your website has a properly working funnel.
Every page has a lead generation form.
Your service offers a solution to the customer’s problem and the customer is aware of this
Every page has a consistent call to action that stands out on the page visually.
Your lead generation forms collect user data for retargeting and reengaging with missed customers.
On form completion, you have an auto-response confirming the receipt of the customer's message.
Have a few blanks in the checklist above? Most businesses do. Establishing an effective brand funnel is a tall order but it is a scalable and repeatable process that consistently leads to more sales.
#3 A BAD LOGO
Finally, the biggest problem with the easiest solution. Your logo. You can have the perfect funnel and the perfect online presence, but if customers don’t trust your brand, that sale becomes much harder. A quality brand not only builds up that trust with your customers, it instantly establishes your brand as a professional company that potential customers can trust.
