What is a “brand” and why is it important to protect it?
‘Brand’ is such a buzz word these days, it almost seems cliché. It’s normal to wonder why brands are so important and why companies go to such great lengths to protect them… Your brand is the overall experience you create for your customers that distinguishes your organization or product from your competition. This can be summarized as a Strong Identity and Good Reputation. On one hand, making sure people easily recognize you and differentiate you from your competition helps build a Strong Identity. On the other hand, having a Good Reputation in today’s business world can be the difference between success and bankruptcy.
A majority of a company’s tangible success arguably results from its most valuable intangible asset – the image the company portrays to its customers. As a result, modern-day companies are prepared to do whatever it takes to build, enhance, and preserve their brand in the eyes of their customers. A simple, well-constructed brand can result in a billion-dollar empire. Find it hard to believe? Let’s consider Nike as our example: Nike owns no factories for manufacturing its footwear and apparel which make up around 90% percent of its revenue! Nike’s success can be justified by the brand they’ve built over the years.
White-label Branding: How Third-Party Solutions Play A Crucial Role In Your Branding
Because protecting and even enhancing brand integrity is a focus for many companies these days, brand-conscious companies are making sure that client interactions happen within the “umbrella” of their brand. Companies need third-party service providers who can offer white label services as extensions to their brands. These “white-labeled” services allow companies to expand their current offerings with excellent 3rd party services while marketing them as part of their own brand identity. This creates a more seamless and “comprehensive” brand experience for a company’s customers and helps enhance its overall image.
