What do your customers, vendors, employees
really think of your company?

Psssss.  A secret for you:

Big advertising agencies charge $20,000 to $80,000 to conduct "brand assessments" for corporations.  All they do is interview a sample from all of the clusters of people with whom your company has contact:  employees, sales reps, customers, prospects, former employees, competitors, executives, regulators, accountants or lawyers.  They synthesize the results and tell you what your brand image is in the real world.

Is Your Company Considered Stellar? Honorable?
Authoritative? a Leader? Obsolete?

You perhaps thought the world thought your company had integrity, when after such an assessment, you may discover the world thinks your company is cheap!
But such an evaluation can be done on a smaller scale with similar accuracy. It does let you see where your company's performance falls short on perceptions.  It also helps you clarify your company mission and values so you can identify what your five big brand attributes are and which attributes (while admirable) do NOT belong to your company.

No More Identity Crisis

This simple exercise is extremely valuable because for years and years you can  rely on these brand attributes, and even measure how much progress you've made in expressing them through employee behavior, pricing and policies, customer satisfaction or product quality.

Use this to start brainstorming all the possible brand attributes you think your company represents.  Try to narrow it down
 to 3-5 adjectives.  You've just saved yourself tens of thousands of dollars in ad agency expense!  Only now you have to match your vision to your company's realities.

My Recommendation to You:  Get Fast & Easy Brand Identity

Once you have five brand attributes that are in sync with your strategic business plan or mission statement, get some brand identity work done.  You don' t have to spend months of back-and-forth with fussy, overpriced designers anymore. 

Consider going to Logoworks.com online. They have great packages for small and medium-sized businesses who need design work. The reason I'm comfortable with them is that...

1.  You get more than one mock up from more than one designer..and fast.

2.  The prices are fantastic.

3.  Most small and medium-sized businesses have so many more important priorities than this. 

4.  If you have an identity and name that is established and valuable, you may just hire a local designer or an artsy friend and update it or rearrange it or get it in a vertical and a horizontal version and settle on your company colors. If you need to overhaul this (and no one in your market knows you yet anyway) than consider starting over with Logoworks. 

Your selling message and copy is far more important to boosting sales and profits, than any over-worked corporate identity mark process.  Seriously. 

Copy is king.

I've sent Logoworks plenty of clients and used them myself once I knew what identity I wanted.  Don't start with them until you can clearly tell them what you are, provide a mission statement, give them brand attributes.  Otherwise, you'll just be reviewing desperate artistic "guesses" at what your business is about. YOU be the director!  They even let my visitors have a discount on their packages, below.
