Branding your website is not so different from branding your company. You only need to focus on getting your website noticed online, and the good news is that there are some online avenues that will make branding your website more effective. The following tips will show you how to successfully use these avenues for a website brand that is noticed and remembered.
Tip #1: Get your brand associated with other big brands in your industry
One way to get noticed is to hang around the more well-known brands. Comment regularly on blogs and articles written by big names. In addition to writing intelligent comments, write a blog or article on those big brands on your site as well. The more your brand is seen on these sites, the better.
Tip #2: Make sure every ad has your web address on it
Everything that you print should have your web address on it, for instance, brochures, business cards, posters. Then make sure all of your ads, phone directories, and press releases include your web address. Any online advertising should have a direct link to your site as well.
Tip #3: Create a header to be used on all pages of your website
With branding, consistency is key. Use the same header on every page of your website. Use your company colors and graphics when creating your header so that your audience can identify your company immediately.
Tip #4: Make a signature with your Unique Selling Proposition for all of your outgoing emails
It is not difficult to create a signature for emails. Use this feature to further your company brand by writing a brief summary of your unique selling proposition to be included in your email signatures.
Tip #5: Set up auto responder emails
Use auto responders to further support your brand. Your customer will be reassured by an auto response and they will also become aware of what an email from you will look look like. Every time someone signs up for your email list or contacts you for any reason, send an auto response.
Tip #6: Build up your image in your customers’ minds
You don’t have to design the best website or even have the most brilliant content. While quality content and design are very important, they will not establish your website brand. You must create a positive image of your website in the minds of your audience. To do this, you must be present in strategic places on the web. Social media sites are a great place to develop a presence. You will also want to comment on well-respected members of your industry as mentioned above. Always present yourself in a manner consistent with the image you want to portray and always include your URL.
