Why are brand values important?

Every business strives to become recognizable among the members of its target market. The best way to achieve that is by identifying values that align with a brand. This, folks, are what we call brand values. A specific set of principles or ethics that highlight what you stand for as a company

Brand ethics help personify your brand, express your business’ attributes, and guide decisions. Discovering them sets a precedent for your business and carves out its purpose.

Five Reasons Why Brand Values are Important

So, why should you invest in discovering your core values as a brand? Here are five reasons:

1.    Increasing Customer Engagement

According to Harvard Business Review, 64% of people identify shared values of a brand as the core reason they have built a relationship with the brand. This means people engage with brands partly due to a shared set of values.

These values can be as broad as leadership and community or as specific as environmentally conscious. If customers share these values with a brand, likely, they will emotionally engage more with a brand and spend on it.

    2. Empowering Team Members

Your team members must have a clear idea of what they are working towards as a brand. Only then will your business move efficiently towards its goals and raise profits.

A Chartered Institute of Marketing study revealed that merely 35% of people clearly understood their role in building the brand they worked for. This points toward the uncertainty among team members responsible for delivering a branded customer experience.

When a brand’s ideals are clearly defined, employees feel empowered and connect with their work to deliver more consistently.

    3. Building Brand Loyalty

35% of U.S. consumers express their loyalty to brands that enthusiastically show support for social causes and campaigns. This means that a brand’s values have an integral part in building loyalty among customers.

People need to trust brands before they can buy from them. Having a shared set of values can build that trust and establish authenticity for your brand. Once loyalty is established, your business thrives and garners support from new customers.

   4. Standing out From the Competition

There are hundreds of different brands that objectively offer the same product in the market. The key distinction lies within the small things you adopt as a brand. Values help your business stand out from the already saturated market.

Competition between brands is immense, and the only thing that can somehow catapult one brand from another is the beliefs that they align themselves with. Core values help distinguish your brand from others and provide a competitive advantage.

It is the way you connect with your customers that makes them choose your brand over others.

   5. Creating Better Products and Services

With brand values aiding a streamlined decision-making process, businesses benefit almost instantly. This doesn’t just help the overall functioning of brands. In fact, a specific set of values guides brands in making decisions regarding newer and better products.

The ultimate quality of a brand can significantly increase as it aligns its actions with the values that characterize its name. Better quality fuels innovation, i.e., creating newer products that capture public interest in the blink of an eye.
