4 Ways for Protecting Your Brand

Your brand can be one of the most valuable assets you own. Yet many fail to realize the threats that can damage their brand both online and in the marketplace. Even more importantly, few properly protect it from harm against those trying to use it without permission. Once tarnished, a company’s “good name” is hard to reclaim. For this reason, it is important to be proactive and aggressive in the protection of your brand and logo.

Here are 4 strategies for protecting your brand both online and beyond:
1. Control the domains. This includes any sites you already own as well as potential sites that are similar to your domain name. Make sure all current sites direct visitors where you want them to go. You may also want to consider purchasing the .net, .org and .com sites for your domain name.

2. Limit the access of who can respond to customer interactions both on social media and through email.

3. Have clear guidelines on how and when your brand and logo can be used by other business partners. A straightforward brand compliance policy is a good place to start.

4. Address fraudulent use of your brand’s image, name and logo right away. A good legal partner can help protect your company against counterfeiters and other brand impersonators that could tarnish your good name while profiting off your hard work.

Are you unsure on how to best safeguard your brand? Grand Marketing Solutions offers a full range of brand management strategies from domain acquisitions to developing guidelines for successful customer interactions. Trust our team to keep your logo and “good name” safe from potential threats while continuing to build customer loyalty and brand recognition.

Grand Marketing Solutions has been very effective for us. They are the right size firm with the right mix of talents. They spruced up our logo, redesigned our web site, printed new literature, and worked smoothly with our people.

Before starting Business Image Magazine, I met with dozens of graphic designers/printers and worked with a couple before I met Karl Hofmeier of Grand Marketing Solutions. I heard Karl speak at a networking event and was impressed with his expertise. Since then, Grand Marketing Solutions has become my one stop shop for marketing advice, graphic design, printing, website design and maintenance. The service is second to none and I am happy to refer all my clients and prospects to him.

We are proud to be partners with GMS. As an entrepreneur and small business owner, I value a relationship with a partner who is cut from the same mold. Grand Marketing Solutions understands what it takes to keep our company competitive in a ever changing market. They ask the right questions and treat our business as it was their own. With Grand Marketing Solutions as our partner we can focus on our core business while they execute on our marketing strategy. We've been with a handful of marketing firms over the years. Some were large, some were small, but none of them have had the impact that Grand Marketing Solutions has.
