Brand Reputation

• A brand for one mattered in the past, matters now
  and will matter in the future. No two ways about
  it. However, a few years back, say during the
  first digital decade, it did lose its importance,
  even though it was only for little while.

Then And Now !

• For starters, back in the 2000s, there were no
  social networks and on top of that, there were no
  review sites that people could head to and
  discuss a business. Even worse, word of mouth did
  not play as important a role as it does today
  because whatever people heard about a business
  could not be shared with others easily. In fact,
  the lack of channels that could help in this
  regard also prevented them from actively shaping
  a brand. Yes, online forums were there, but then,
  they were of little to no help. So, a business
  owner could more or less control peoples
  perception.

The current scenario, however, is
totally different.

Keeping Up With The Times

• Today, customers build a brand. So, it makes
  sense to engage with them, wherever possible.
  Simply put, a business must take advantage of the
  available social media channels as well as invest
  in brand and reputation management. In a world
  where everything a customer says online can make
  or break the bottom line, thats the least a
  business can do.
• Brand Reputation today is not just a prerogative
  of big businesses with big advertising budgets
  but is important to every SME now. You dont have
  to spend millions in advertising. A well-planned
  and executed online strategy can help you
  generate a buzz around your brand and develop
  positive brand reputation.
