Creating a good impression as a company is a skill that is required for success. When you are in charge of a brand it is important that the customer always sees the best in you and this can make a huge impact on the success you see.
Today we want to take a look and how you as a company can make a good impression with your audience and create a lasting impression in the years to come.
As a company you may feel strongly about certain things in the media, but you should never allow yourself to be clouded by these things online. As a company you should stay neutral in political and religious issues to ensure you don’t alienate your customers. A good example of the dangers of getting involved in politics and social issues is CrossFit. After the launch of the #BlackLivesMatter campaign this year the CEO of CrossFit made some controversial comments, leading to Reebok cutting ties with the brand and leading CrossFit athletes to leave the sport. Don’t get political!
To make a great impression with your audience a good thing to do is send them gifts or offer freebies at trade shows. Things such as a badge holder, pen, bag, stress ball and mug are good choices and everyone loves a free product. By sending your customers branded gifts like this you can gain free marketing and make a good impression.
Social media is a crucial part of online marketing in this day and age, and as a company you need to have an active online voice. Being engaged on social media channels is important because you can answer questions, get to know your customers, and build a relationship with them. By answering comments on social media often you show your customers that you care about them and their ideas, and this will bring your company a great reputation.
One way to win the hearts of followers is to fight for a good cause and perform charity work. As a business owner you have a unique advantage and power to change the world. By supporting a charity or a cause you believe in, you can make a difference and also gain the support of your followers.
If you are a relatively new company and you are looking to gain a following fast, hosting an event is a great idea. For a restaurant this may be a tasting party; for a store it could be an open evening with drinks and snacks; and for an online company you could rent out a venue and present your vision and views. Inviting members of the public in your local area to join you in an event is a great idea, and it will give you the opportunity to share your ideas and gain a real following that can last.
Try these tips today to make a great impression with your audience and gain success in business this year.
