I'm continuing with an arc based on a series of branding questions I've had over the past few months. I promised this arc in "Attract and Stick, Part 1" now available on AllBusiness.com.
The first question, "How does one rebuild or redevelop his brand? What are the steps?", I answered in two parts. The first part dealt with
- the existing brand being tarnished and now generating a negative impact in the target market and
- the corporation is losing market share and wants to re-establish itself in that market,
- the corporation is moving into new markets and wants to establish a brand in those new markets.
Now we consider "How do you know if your brand/logo is out-of-date? How do you tell?"
NextStage did quite a bit of research on this very issue. We documented some and not all of our findings in A New Branding Paradigm, Online and Off. Your brand/logo is out of date when your target audience no longer responds to it.(more to follow)
Please contact NextStage for information regarding presentations and trainings on this and other topics.
