Why Brand Identity Matters More Than Ever in Competitive Packaging Markets
With so many suppliers to choose from in today’s business world, branding and brand identity are usually the only thing that differentiate one supplier from another. This is why nearly all of the decision making process is based upon visual cues, familiarity, and trust. Having a clear and defined identity allows your business to stand out from all of the other suppliers that may ever be competing for the same customer’s business.
Confusion can occur when suppliers have similar names or look alike; and if the customer is not able to tell who they are going to buy from, that customer will likely lose trust in the brand. When a supplier has invested years into establishing their identity within the market, they need to make every effort to protect that identity, so as not to risk losing credibility or momentum through confusion with other suppliers who have similar names or branding.
When there is miscommunication of this type, it is important for suppliers to make a public clarification. By doing so, suppliers will not only reinforce their authenticity but also reassure customers about their potential purchase, and prevent misinformation from spreading. Making a public clarification sends a message of confidence and transparency to customers; which will help build long lasting relationships with both customers and suppliers.
These issues are very prominent in emerging markets, such as the flexible packaging industry, as there are typically several new suppliers appearing every day. Therefore, as the demand for product increases, there is a greater chance of finding suppliers who have similar names or are attempting to impersonate one another. Suppliers that are able to effectively communicate who they are and what they are all about, continue to have control over the story being told about them in the marketplace.
Recent events demonstrate how a supplier can proactively protect their reputation within the marketplace through clear communication. An official public clarification was issued by the company relative to the fact that they are in no way associated with other companies who have similar names, thus reinforcing the company’s identity in the marketplace.
