“Your brand name is only as good as your reputation.”
-Richard Branson
There are many famous quotes about the importance of branding because branding IS important. Branding tells consumers what they can expect from you and your company. It promotes recognition, familiarity. It sets you apart. It’s your business’s DNA.
But what exactly is “branding?”
“Branding” today has a broad meaning. It is the overall process of shaping consumers’ minds about a specific person, company, product, or service. We as consumers give meaning people, products, and services, and based on that meaning, we choose or don’t choose them over the competition.
So if your branding can make or break you as a business, or even as a known personality or political figure, then it’s crucial to take branding seriously. And if your brand takes a hit because of mistakes (everyone is human after all) or because of misrepresentation or the spread of inaccurate information, all can be lost.
After all, it was Warren Buffett who famously said, “It takes 20 years to build a reputation, and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you’ll do things differently.”
Yes, think about that. 70 to 80% of a company’s market value comes from the branding, according to Harvard Business Review. 70 to 80%. That’s more than the value of the product itself.
Even over 200 years ago, Ben Franklin understood the importance of reputation. “It takes many good deeds to build a good reputation,” Franklin said. “And only one bad one to lose it.”
