It is rare but we have a man down at GMCI and it is me, Kim. Rather quickly a cold turned into my first foray into pneumonia! I am on the mend, but have been out of the office, half working from home for THREE whole days! To be away from the helm for that long without any planning is hard for me. Luckily the Avengers at the office have been stellar and there has barely been a blip. But being sick is really NO fun.
So I started thinking about, of course, good brand health and how to keep your brand healthy!
How to measure and heal a sick brand
Having a strong and healthy brand keeps you one step ahead of the competition. But what is brand health, how can you measure it, and what steps can we help you take if your brand needs a boost?
What is Brand Health?
Brand health refers to the overall perception and strength of your brand in the market. It encompasses various factors, including brand awareness, reputation, customer satisfaction, and loyalty. A healthy brand is recognized and trusted by its target audience, leading to sustained growth and competitive advantage.
How to Measure Brand Health
- Brand Awareness: At GMCI we track metrics such as brand recall and recognition through surveys and market research. Tools like Google Trends and Ads also provide insights into search interest over time.
- Customer Perception: We monitor online reviews, social media mentions, and feedback in real time to gauge how customers view your brand. We are always there to help our clients smooth out not so great reviews or social commentary.
- Brand Loyalty: GMCI help measure customer retention rates and the frequency of repeat purchases. Loyalty programs and customer feedback provide additional insights into loyalty levels.
- Market Share: We analyze your brand’s market share compared to competitors. A growing market share often indicates strong brand health.
- Net Promoter Score (NPS): We use NPS surveys to assess customer willingness to recommend your brand to others. A high NPS indicates strong customer satisfaction and loyalty.
