Digital Appearance (Series — Part 9 of 9)
Your Guide to Achieving Brand Recognition Success

Brand Loyalty

Thank you for following along with this comprehensive 9-part series. I hope that the information I provided was helpful and that you were able to implement some of it into your business practices. Here is the final topic on this piece.

GET MORE INVOLVED 
Create excitement around your business!

  • Customer Loyalty Program — In a world where almost anything can be bought from anywhere, create a reason for your client to keep purchases with your business. Create a loyalty program that rewards your clients for their purchases or incentivizes them to purchase more.
  • Social Media Contest — Everyone loves winning a contest. To capture the attention of customers, partner with manufacturers to create an exciting social media give-away. Holding a contest on a monthly basis keeps everyone interested and involved. Don’t forget to follow up with the winners to foster a strong relationship.
Here is an idea to promote your products. Try featuring a new product each month and encouraging your audience to share photos of their results with the product. Each tagged photo will get them entered in a drawing that will be held live. These tags will highlight your content, increase the organic reach of your post, and grow your social network.
  • Reviews — Showcasing your business is essential, and one way to do so is by encouraging customers to leave reviews on platforms such as Google, Yelp, and Facebook. Ultimately, having more reviews is more valuable than having none at all, as potential customers often rely on the opinions of others to make informed decisions.
  • Join Local Groups — There are many beauty professional groups that you and your key staff members can become part of, which can bring more exposure to your business. By participating in these groups, you can sponsor them and advertise your business even further.
  • Get Involved With Your Community — Being a part of a fundraiser or community event will show you care and your commitment to the community, but it also increases exposure to your business.

PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER

Goal Chunking: Taking It One Step At A Time 
Achieving your goals with all the tasks that come with them can sometimes seem overwhelming. However, breaking them down into smaller, more manageable parts, otherwise known as “goal chunking,” will allow you to approach each goal one step at a time. This process helps you understand the smaller steps involved and will give you an idea for a timeline. Goal chunking can be done with actionable steps in a time frame you want to achieve them. Here are some valuable steps to get you started with goal chunking.

Set goals

  • To achieve your objective, put it down on paper, your computer, or your mobile device.
  • List or jot down ideas as they come into your mind.
  • Once your tasks are listed, prioritize them in the order that is the most organized way of achieving them and set aside time to achieve them.
  • Now, go through the list to add manageable sub-tasks to them on the steps you will need to take to achieve the goals you have set for yourself/your business. The steps can be broken down by months; then, you can further break them down by making obtainable weekly tasks.
  • Once your list is complete, start working on it. Just know that goals are constantly modified, and so will your steps in achieving them.
