Is it time ReBrand Your Business?
Revitalize Entrepreneurialship By Urging Independence Leadership & Development
If you’re asking whether it’s time for a small business rebrand or not, that’s a good indicator you should be thinking seriously about rebranding. You may see many signs you need a rebrand, but each sign probably needs a different action taken. A rebrand is complex and can consist of a partial rebrand or a full rebrand. Your business may need a complete overhaul which could go as far as a new name, that’s a big undertaking. There are a few signs that even your gut can tell you a rebrand is necessary:
- It’s been a long time since you established your brand.
- Your current brand is dated.
- Your logo was created hastily, cheaply, or you’re not happy with it
Here are questions you can ask yourself to help decide if a rebranding is necessary. This may be a good first step, even if you go a bit further and ask others for their input.
-
How long has it been since a rebrand?
-
Was your last rebrand significant or minor?
-
Has your brand been changing over time or has it been static for years or decades?
-
What is your current brand not communicating?
