I recently wrote about signs that you are due for a rebrand, which inspired the tips I’m about to share below! If you have finally made the big decision towards rebranding, you most likely want to do it like a pro. One of the top questions you may ask yourself is, what makes a good rebrand? If this sounds like you, I’ve got you!

What really makes a rebranding good?

A lot of companies are finding that rebranding is valuable for a wide variety of reasons. These companies tend to rebrand when the brands’ visual identity no longer reflects their values and message. 

Sometimes they’re rebranding their business or brand, and other times both. Regardless, rebranding offers a way to freshen up a company’s visual identity attracting new audiences while making old ones remember you.

However, rebranding is a significant investment for many companies, so it’s vital to do it right. When planning a rebrand, you need to consider what aspects of your company you want to change and how you will communicate these changes to your audience. Let’s briefly discuss what makes a good rebrand.

3 Steps for a good rebrand

            1. Identify your rebrand goals

The first step in rebranding is to identify your goals. Ask yourself why you are rebranding, what you hope to achieve, what brand values you want to present, what image you’d like to portray, and how you want people to think and feel when they hear your company name.

Good rebranding is about meeting these goals through your brand’s visual identity and the messages you communicate. For example, if rebranding your product to appeal to a younger demographic, you might rethink your logo design and brand message.

An excellent way to align your rebrand goals with your company goals is to consider your brand values and mission. When you understand your company culture, you can translate it into rebranding goals. For example, if your company values diversity, you might decide to develop a more welcoming visual identity.

         2. Understand your audience

Once you’ve set goals for your rebrand, contemplate how your audience will respond. A good rebrand is easy to understand and, more importantly, memorable. When planning your rebrand, ask yourself if your current visual identity is too complicated to remember. If so, it might undermine your goals for your rebrand.

Some audiences respond well to simplicity, while others favor complexity. Think about the demographics of your audience and what kind of brand image they’ll acknowledge. Identify visuals that your audience associates with your brand. Then, think about different ways to communicate those ideas through your rebrand.

         3 . Create a plan

Now that you’ve defined your goals and audience, you need to create a plan for your rebrand. Your plan should include a basic timeline and budget for your project. Have a comprehensive understanding of the changes you’re making, what you’ll communicate to your audience, and when you plan to implement the changes.

Your plan doesn’t have to be too detailed. You should, however, define milestones for your rebrand as they will act as checkpoints throughout your project.
