Branding is extremely important. Most people don’t realize that your brand is not only the face of your company, but it is actually a true reflection of your company. According to a recent Forbes article on branding, they claim, “it’s not enough to just have a brand — you also need to capitalize on it. Always be out there actively representing and promoting your brand.” You are your companies brand. If you aren’t actively branding, then you are missing valuable opportunities to promote your business. Look at the list below. Are you using any of the avenues to promote your banding?

Promoting your brand is not enough – you have to have a good logo.
The first thing people see is your logo. What does your logo say about you and your brand? For example, our logo stands for Value, Trust, Customer Loyalty, Customer Service, Customer Focus, Professionalism, Commitment, Experience, and Expertise. When customers see your logo, they should automatically know that they will have a quality experience when using your services. Take a step back and really look at your logo. If you took the name of your practice out of your logo, what is left? Most often, we see a tooth. Yes, the tooth represents “dentist”. But, does that really say who you are? When branding your company, really think about what you represent and what you want your logo to say about you and your practice.
What does your brand mean?
So, when you strategically brand your company, you are telling customers what they should expect from your services and how you differentiate you from your competitors. It is true that branding is more than just a logo. Branding should evoke an experience or an emotion in your customers. However, the more consistent a business is on branding a logo, the more customers will interpret your brand as being reliable and trustworthy – which means they can rely on you. Therefore, this is the emotional connection to your business. Lucent Spot will help build your company as a stronger brand. Since most business comes from referrals or word of mouth, it is important to get the most out of branding your company.

What is the point of branding?
Finally, the issue today is that there are too many choices or too many options – it has become a guessing game. As a result, the market has become saturated with businesses or ads that offer the same services. How many dental practices are in your area? How many competitors do you have? You need to stand out!

So, when rebranding your practice, think about the colors that best represent you. What does your tagline say about your practice? What does the font you are using say about your practice? All of these aspects are important to your brand. Don’t over-complicate it! When you are in the process of rebranding, it is all about defining your practice.
