Branding is all about having an identity, it is something that anyone can see, touch and experience, that provides them with conformation that you are who you say you are and what you say you are.
In the salon industry, a highly service based industry, branding is very important, as you strive to differentiate yourself from your competitors, and create your own space. Any time you fall down in what you promise you can deliver can seriously affect your brand.
This includes how you present yourself and your salon, your attitude on any given day, levels of service, events you decide to hold… all of these are opportunities for your clients to experience your brand and either form an opinion if they are new clients, or reconfirm if they are existing clients, that there is good reason why they are just that.
Be clear on the following points if you are to maximize your brand.
- What is your message?
- What is your area of expertise?
- What results are you promising to deliver?
- What is your underlying passion that gives you the determination, dedication and discipline to constantly improve?
You need to be able to write it down, be clear, concise and expressive about what your brand looks like, or what you want it to look like to your clients.
If you think you have missed the mark, its not too late to rebrand, many companies have done it and gone on to achieve a better positioning in the market, it’s all about knowing for yourself what you are aiming for.
