In the end, you need to create common ground with your consumers \u2013 do you have the same moral principles, are you building a better world together, or giving a joint contribution? Why you? Why Coca-Cola and not Pepsi?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/eugrafal.free.fr\/McClu-et-al-2004.pdf\">A study<\/a> from Baylor College of Medicine in Texas has shown that respondents actually prefer the flavor of Pepsi or the flavor of a generic cola brand if they do not know what they are drinking, but they all say that they prefer Coca-Cola. The scientists used magnetic resonance to monitor the behavior of brain centers while the respondents were still and then while they were drinking the offered drinks. On the tape, it was evident that the respondents, while not knowing which <em>brand<\/em> they were consuming, enjoyed the Pepsi flavor more. When the respondents were told that they were drinking Coca-Cola, though this was not true, brain parts of the respondents automatically \"replaced\" the actual sense with the perceived one and they \"forced themselves\" to like the taste of the original Coca-Cola better.<\/p>\n<p>In this example, we can see the strength of the <em>brand<\/em> and what kind of a reaction it can trigger among consumers. Family is at the center of Coca-Cola's story, they created Santa Claus and when we hear the sound of Coca-Cola's commercials and the Christmas truck, this reminds us that the time of family gatherings, gifts and Christmas decorations is slowly approaching. Don't you feel closer to the company when you see a family smiling around the table with food, laughter and the irreplaceable Coca-Cola bottle?<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Coca Cola Christmas commercial 2010 HD (Full advert)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ccNzBhTcehs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Why is good <em>branding<\/em> extremely important?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>It's very important to take some time to research, define and create a <em>brand<\/em> to make sure your <em>branding<\/em> is in line with your products or services and that you're sending a unique message.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of the importance of a <em>brand\u2019s<\/em> visual identity and financial resources invested in the promotion, no <em>(re)branding <\/em>is going to help you if your product or service is not in synergy with what you represent.<\/p>\n<p>For example, at the start of your business you can have the best Facebook campaign, but if you receive negative evaluation due to inadequate services, bad customer service, rude phone calls or something similar, their opinions are likely to affect your business. This negative feedback could also reach out to potential consumers and have a stronger impact than your campaign.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The characteristics of a good <em>brand<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>A good <em>brand<\/em> has to clearly communicate your message, guarantee your expertise, create an emotional connection with the client, motivate the client to choose your product or service and ultimately what we all want \u2013 to ensure loyalty and partnership in the long run.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What's your <em>brand<\/em> like?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re not sure if your <em>brand<\/em> fulfills what it should, or whether you should invest more efforts into <em>branding<\/em>, here are some questions to help you better assess the current situation:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Can my target audience connect with my <em>brand<\/em>, do they understand it and are they familiar with it?<\/li>\n<li>Does my <em>brand<\/em> show our competitive advantage and \"that certain something\" that makes us different from the others?<\/li>\n<li>Does my <em>brand<\/em> reflect all of that we've \"promised\" to the consumers and does it have value for the employees?<\/li>\n<li>Does my <em>brand<\/em> reflect all the values I wish to present to my audience?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To summarize, you need a clear message, expertise, emotional connection, call to action and ultimately, as a result of all of that, creation of a loyal consumer. Good branding doesn't only create a better picture of the company, it attracts the audience and brings more profit, but it also affects employees who are your first ambassadors.
