Brand perception refers to how consumers or the target audience perceive and interpret a particular brand. According to experience management company Qualtrics, it is “what customers believe a product or service represents,” and not “what the company owning the brand says it does.”
“It doesn’t matter if you or your team believe that your product is the best in your market. If your intended audience thinks otherwise, your own perception quickly becomes invalidated, and that will reflect on your bottom line, too,” LO:LA said in a statement.
In its latest piece, the agency offers you a number of steps that you can employ to “positively affect” a poorly performing brand.
One such step is monitoring your brand perception.
LO:LA explained that a brand’s status in the market is dynamic, with various factors affecting how it is perceived by onlookers. “Regularly monitor your brand perception through market research, social listening, and customer feedback to track progress and adjust your strategy as needed,” it advised.
Once a negative perception is established, the agency proposes identifying the root cause of it through methods like market research. Afterward, a number of initiatives can be taken such as calibrating its brand positioning, engaging with your customers, and leveraging partnerships with personalities like influencers and brand advocates.
And there’s no reason to rush. LO:LA cautioned against rushing the brand rebuilding process because this process takes a lot of time, effort, and patience.
