brand score by xco group

In today’s business world, with more avenues and channels for clients to interact with your company, there are many ways you can increase your brand score. Regardless of the size of your company, brand reputation is important to a well-rounded business and contributes equally to its ultimate success. From the creation of your logo to the branding on your company’s vehicles and the words you use on your website, every interaction with the public shapes the way your potential clients feel about your products and perceive your brand.

With this in mind, as brand-building specialists at XCO Group, we want to offer you a brief branding guide below to help improve your brand score and your company’s standing with potential customers.

7 Ways to Measure and Improve Your Brand Score

Brand reputation is the perception and thoughts that employees, partners and, most importantly, your clients and potential customers have of your brand. This perception can change over time, so it is important that you monitor and manage it regularly. By enhancing or updating your brand score, these perceptions may be elevated. Try these seven simple solutions to improve your brand score:

  1. Develop a Strong Brand Strategy

Building a strong brand strategy is important in achieving your ideal consumer and employer perception. Customers become more loyal, and employees will enjoy working for you. It will also enhance your reputation in times of crises or product pricing competition. Some of the results you may achieve are:

  1. Build Your Brand Identity

In line with your company’s mission, vision, and value statements, your brand identity ensures that customers, clients, employees, and partners have a clear understanding of what your company stands for. It should create a united visual imagery with identifying branding elements such as your logo, letterhead, and company colours. Include corporate gifts and staff motivational prizes with your logo.

  1. Create a Brand Style

As with the dos and don’ts in your standard operating procedures for your staff, create a style of uniform that suits your brand identity. Whether the dress code is casual or more formal, consult with professionals who can regularly supply quality clothing at short notice, regardless of the size of the order.

  1. Establish an Online Presence

With modern technology at your fingertips, it is foolish not to take advantage of these tools. People might access your website through several different media and social platforms, so how you communicate with them should align with your website and brand identity. You will want to portray a professional appearance across all these platforms. Ensure to edit and check for spelling errors.

  1. Use Your Social Media Pages

Multimedia platforms shape opinions of your business online. Actively ask for and respond to reviews, whether good or bad. Loyal customers and potential new clients will share their opinions with you. This goes a long way in measuring your brand reputation. Deal with bad reviews quickly and fill your owned landing spaces like your blog and website with positive testimonials.

  1. Enhance Your Customer’s Experience

Utilise the information that derives from multimedia platforms effectively. Often, if you answer negative reviews promptly and honestly, you might change a bad experience into a good one. This not only enhances the customer experience you offer but also informs potential clients that you care enough to listen, hear, and resolve situations.

  1. Brand Reputation Begins In-House

Employees are the moving parts of your business. A happy employee who is passionate about what they do and where they work enhances the customer experience, and a happy customer is a walking advertisement for your business. Creating a healthy, happy, and positive working environment boosts employee morale and workers automatically become more productive.
