How To Improve Your Personal Brand Strategy Without Starting Anew

In this age of constant internet engagement, having an effective branding strategy is the only way to be noticed and succeed. However, there are times when your brand could use a little updating.

Rejuvenating your brand does not mean you need to revamp the whole thing, just certain elements that don’t seem to be working well enough to meet your personal goals.

You can’t possibly know what will work until you have feedback from the market. Therefore, you need to periodically make small improvements to reflect what your audience responds to.

Some Improvement Ideas

Here are a few simple ideas to get you started: change your color scheme, create a new logo, or post in a new way. Each will make your brand seem new again.

Innovation shows your authority over your brand.

Check Your Analytics

One way to know if you need to make major updates to your brand is to check your analytics. Analytics can tell you who is reading your posts, where they live.

It can also check to see if your target audience is reading your posts and aligned with your message.

Analytics shows you the total number of people who actually see your posts, and compares that with the number of people who interact with it.

If more people are scrolling on without reading or interacting, you might think about making some needed changes.

Do Your Research

Are people not seeing your posts? Maybe you need to make changes as to what platforms you use. Maybe think about using more hashtags and stronger keywords.

You always want to stay abreast of current trends in your industry and keep your content updated to please your audience.

Using analytics can also help you find your more popular posts. Take time looking over these posts to see just what elements you used to create it. Look at such things as your layout and what time of day you may have posted it.

Did you use hashtags and leave a call to action in your posts? Did you spend a lot of time engaging with your audience? Whatever you did, repeat these elements and make them better.

Update Your Branding Message

Another way you can rejuvenate your personal brand is to update your branding message.

Just be sure it aligns with the beliefs and values of your followers, and always make any update as clear as it can be.

Monitoring Your Brand

Using analytics to monitor your brand is important to the success of your brand. Tracking its progress keeps you aware of what is going on with your brand and your audience. It’s important to know when you are in need of an update.

Often, brands don’t need to be completely overhauled, they just need to be polished and shined with a new look. Small changes can pay off big by keeping your brand fresh and relevant.

Be sure to improve your brand on an ongoing basis as your analytics show you how your audience is reacting to your brand fine tuning efforts.
