5 Reasons to Rebrand Your Business

A successful rebranding can do wonders for your company’s image, the impression you leave on your target market, and ultimately your bottom line. But how do you know if you need one? Here are a few signs.

Your brand doesn’t stand out from your competition

The market is ever-evolving and growing with more competitors. If your brand isn’t standing out like it once did, it may be time for a rebrand. By assessing your current branding’s strengths and weaknesses, you can re-align to new company goals.

Your brand no longer reflects your company’s vision

Your branding should reflect who your company is and what it stands for. If you’ve had a shift in focus, expanded, or your business model or strategy has changed, then it is time to revisit your brand identity. Defining your new purpose, mission, vision and values is the first step to future success.

Your brand doesn’t resonate with the right people

Have you noticed that you are no longer attracting your ideal target market? Or maybe a new demographic has started to show interest and you’d like to expand your reach? Either way, this is a great opportunity to identify which features of your current branding are resonating with that market and which are missing the mark.

Your brand has lost focus

A lot can change over the years. Whether a few big strategic changes or many small ones, your branding may have become diluted and less effective. Look at it from an outside perspective. Take your logo, colours and messaging and ask yourself: if you had never heard of this company before, would you understand who they are, what they do and what they stand for?

Your brand name is unmemorable

There was most likely a lot of thought and consideration that went into naming your company. But does the name still align with the current growth and focus? Does it resonate with your target audience?

Do people still struggle to remember or spell the name, making it difficult to find you online or refer you to friends? T

hese are all signs that even though you may love it, it may be time to consider a different direction.

Yes, rebranding can be costly. But sometimes doing nothing can be even more so. An honest evaluation of how your brand is measuring up can be the jumpstart you need for future growth.

If your brand needs realignment, there are a lot of ways to tackle this. It doesn’t have to mean reinventing your entire identity. Depending on time requirements, budgets and goals, focusing on what works and letting go of what doesn’t is a great start.

Not sure if a rebranding is necessary?

Consider conducting a brand audit. This can be an illuminating process, providing you with the insight you need to make the next right steps for your company.
