\"Peekaboo<\/a><\/p>\n

You might have been thinking about whether you\u2019ve been bringing your\u00a0A-game to your branding – l<\/span>et\u2019s face it: creating and maintaining a strong brand can be complicated, but I’m here to show you how to make your branding seamless — and help you understand why doing so is MORE than worth the time you put into it. Start here for 13 tips (yes, 13!) you can apply right now to make your brand and your business stronger.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0TIP #1: LOOK THROUGH YOUR CUSTOMER\u2019S EYES<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s extremely important to continually look at your brand through your customer\u2019s eyes. After all, brands are relationships, and like every successful romantic relationship, there must be two mutually interested parties. Start 2013 with your first customer experience audit. Map out all the touch points<\/a> <\/strong>on your customer\u2019s journey. Many companies focus\u00a0just on when their consumer uses a product or service. I want you to think about the entire process.<\/p>\n

Think about the moment your consumer starts to interact with your product up until they set it down, until they leave your business’ environment. Enlist help of friends, interns, and neutral third parties, like that kid in a coffee shop playing on his iPhone 5. Ask all of those people to interact with your brand and report back to you on where they felt engaged and well guided and also moments when they felt abandoned or confused. Make sure to photograph or record the experience so that you have documentation and can reference it whenever you think about engaging with your consumer.<\/strong><\/p>\n
