Advertising |
|
| |
Building your business image is important for your
business growth and success. A lot of factors will
determine your business image. Some of these factors are
how you market your business and how you treat your
first time customer - remember first impressions count.
These two must go together - what you say on your
advertising strategies must be what your customers will
get.
|
Building your Business Image |
Business image in simple terms is how the environment
perceives your business. The environment includes many
stakeholders including customers, suppliers, lenders,
local community or any other relevant party. What people
think of your organization matters a lot and the long
term success or in some cases survival, will be possible
only if you have positive business image. For instance
most successful and well known corporate entities have
developed their own unique images which induce people to
transact with them. For example a person buying a
Mercedes seeks "Prestige and Luxury" image where as a
person opting a Toyota is in search of "Value for money"
image.
| First impression
always counts: |
Forget about business, even in our personal
relationships it is the first impression that goes on a
long way. So you cannot afford to get it wrong. The next
time you meet a first-time customer treat him as a king
and make the first impression strong and positive. This
strong image you create within the mind of the customer
will stay and continue to bring you business forever
unless you destroy the image by your own fault.
However one of the common errors many home businesses do
is ignoring the importance of customer service after
doing business for the first time. The customer expects
the standards delivered at the beginning of the
relationship to continue and if the business fails to
achieve it, they can question the validity of the image
built, consequently destroying the hard earned positive
business image.
| Attention to
detail is your winning mantra: |
It should be noted that every step you take and decision
you make within your business model will contribute in
some way to determine your business image. So even a
simple thing such as answering a customer inquiry can
result in negative image being built, if not handled
carefully. Just imagine how many times you have called
people in customer service units of well known companies
and got put off by their pure ignorance.
| Advertising can
make or break your image: |
Advertising can be used to build the business image you
intend. This is particularly useful to cultivate your
image in the minds of those who get to know you for the
first time. However as much as it can build your image
it can destroy it as well. You have to live up to what
you preach and if not it doesn’t take that long to
develop negative image which is extremely harmful and
generally very difficult to reverse.
Further consistency in advertising is another important
aspect. Unless your messages are consistent and clearly
support one strong business image, you could lead your
customers to confusion. So make sure that you weave the
same message in all your advertising efforts.
In essence, any business needs to develop positive image
within the minds of its stakeholder if it is to succeed.
It can take years to build your image but it all can get
destroyed in one minute due to your negligence. So take
care of the image of your business and remember it needs
continuous attention.
