Tips from April 6, 2010
The Small Business tips today discuss communicating while rebranding your business.
- Many
people will have questions about your rebranding. Answer questions that
are posted on your website, in comments, on social media, or any other
communication channel publicly. This way, others who might have the
same question will be able to see your answer. Explain the change, and
what you hope to accomplish in each answer.
- Be authentic. When
you're communicating to others outside your company make sure you are
accurate in explaining what exactly is going on. Tell the truth. Be
real. Any discrepancies will look poorly upon your company.
- If
you announce something, make sure you follow through. There is nothing
worse than consumers, customers, and competitors with high expectations
and be let down.
- Keep communication lines open and available.
Your website is a great communication tool, as well as your social
media accounts (more later this week). This allows people to contact you or at
least have the information to contact you whenever they would like.
Daily
Overview: Open communication lines allow for the rebranding news to get
out to the public, as well as answer any questions that others may
have.
