How to Level-Up Your Client Communication & Customer Retention
Believe it or not, branding isn’t just about visuals. It encompasses many facets of your brand, including… your brand voice!
Uhhh what is a brand voice?
We’re so glad you asked!
Your brand voice is the tone you use when writing or speaking from the perspective of your business. It’s what improves client communication and allows them to get to know you.
It includes things like:
- Tone
- Language
- Grammar
- Personality
It’s your business’ unique persona that represents who you are and how you do business.
The Importance of Brand Voice
When well defined and used consistently, your brand voice levels up your client communication and customer retention. It builds trust and can make or break your marketing efforts.
Differentiation:
In a crowded marketplace, differentiation is essential. Your brand voice sets you apart from competitors, helping customers and clients recognize and remember your brand amidst the noise.
Building Trust:
A consistent and authentic brand voice builds trust with your audience. When customers feel a genuine connection with your brand, they are more likely to become loyal advocates.
Targeting Your Audience:
Understanding your target audience is key to crafting an effective brand voice. Whether your audience is looking for professionalism, humor, or authenticity, tailoring your brand voice to resonate with them enhances engagement.
Examples of Iconic Brand Voices
Nike
Nike’s brand voice is…
- Inspirational
- Powerful
- Excited
Imagine how bizarre it would be if Nike were to start writing and speaking formally, or maybe even became meek and shy. That would likely make you uneasy and confused! They connect with their audience because of their powerful, authentic voice.
Your revenue increases when your clients increase when your impressions increase when your marketing increases… you get the point. Try to understand what you changed in your business for your analytics to change as they did.
Coca-Cola
Coca-Cola’s brand voice is…
- Optimistic
- Joyful
- Timeless
Now, what if Coca-Cola decided to switch their voice to be mellow or short and to the point. What if they weren’t consistent? On social media they were joyful, but their TV ads were dry and strictly informational. So weird, right?!
