Branding Moments: Maintaining Consistency With The Brand Identity!

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Napa Consultants DRE00893924

We admire brands that maintain their brand identity consistently, when it comes to their packaging with elegance and simplicity.  They are not swayed by trends or fashion demands.  By staying the course the brand emphasizes their certainly in their identity: who they are and what they stand for.  A perfect example of this is Jo Malone.

Jo Malone is a British perfume company, (now owned by Estee Lauder) known for its fragrances, luxury candles, bath products and room scents. The brand continues to maintain their high quality signature packaging in cream and black edging and the reverse version as illustrated in the first photo.

 

Maintaining a consistent brand identity inspires confidence, and instant recognition.  It also says, we are here to stay!

Good morning, Alexandra and Ron -- thank you for the introduction to Jo Malone.  Obviously the management of Estee Lauder also saw what you have shared with us.  Simple and Sophisticated.  Consistent.

Everyone knows the Tiffany box and color. And the Nike logo. Developing your own professional brand is a great way to make you stand out from the crowd.

Happy Wednesday Ron and Alexandra- It says something for the brand when we can say "I recognize that!"  I'm familiar with Jo Malone and as Lynnea Miller mentioned...who doesn't recognize that famous Tiffany blue and white ribbon!!!

Hi Ron & Alexandra - So can I use the brand consistency argument for justifying our refusing to update our logo photos?

There is a fine line between maintaining a brand consistency and looking outdated. That brand needs to be very classic, like a blue blazer, it never goes out of style, so you need to get the brand right from the start.

Good afternoon Ron and Alexandra Seigel ,

You are so right..consistency with brand branding does inspire instant recognition. Tiffany's is certainly one that registers with everyone. Who doesn't like to open their packages? Its always a promise of something unique and special. They are not going anywhere..they are time honored. Kendra Scott (from Austin) has developed a brand and her advertising is consistent and so recognizable! She gives back to the community and has really made a name for herself. Good things happen t good people:).

Nick & Trudy Vandekar I would venture to say that the majority of the real estate brands need a face lift, even some of the classic ones.  Smart brands have face lifts before they look like your "grandfather's real estate firm."

Dick Greenberg  I will let you be the judge of that...we belief in pull marketing rather than push marketing... A

think of a pushy salesperson, that is push.  Someone is pushing something that you may want or not want.  My reaction to push is to get the hell away from that, even if wanted the product.  Pull is being attracted to in this instance Jo Malone, because of the beauty of the display.  Their salespeople are delightful to talk to about the product, they don't push. 

In your profession, a home that is well staged has pull power.  It helps with the decision making process of wanting or not wanting this home.  Whereas a home with no curb appeal, dirty, and cluttered pushes people away.  This is a definition that is simplified.  I would have to write a lot more.  A
