Hi geeks,
I'm in the process (haven't actually done anything yet) of rebranding my business to relaunch in April,
I'm a mobile business established 2.5 years now, I've started to notice an increase in my area of beauty therapists, one having the same business cards as me (the joys of vista print!) and most of us have very similar colour schemes. I'm also beauty by xxxx which was fine to begin with as there was no one else in the area with beauty by xxxx now there's a fair few to say the least.
So I'm looking into rebranding an relaunching, mainly because of these reasons but a couple of other reasons too.
I have a very good loyal clientele, & am fully booked most weeks but I'm looking for some advice/reassurance on rebranding from those of you that have done it.
Did you find it confused people? Or did you lose any clients/business because of it? On any advertisements/new business cards/price lists did you put "previously known as xxxx" if you did how long did you keep this on for?
I'm slightly concerned about rebranding but feel it's the best thing to do to differentiate my business from the others even though I'm well established I feel as though my brand is getting muddled with everyone else.
I'm going to be changing the name of my business and I cannot think of something that fits, I was debating running a competition on Facebook for my regulars to come up with a new name and chose the one I like best or the one with the most likes that's not trademarked as thought it may help my regulars feel included in the process too? Do you think this is a good idea? Has anyone done this? Did it work for you?
Any help or advice would be very much appreciated xxxxx
