Refresh for The New Year!

Whether you’re looking to modernize your image, reach a new audience, or differentiate yourself from competitors, the start of the year provides the perfect opportunity to refresh your brand identity. 


Why?


Align with New Business Goals

Many businesses use the start of the year to set strategic objectives. A rebrand allows you to align your visual identity, messaging, and brand values with these new goals. If your company is shifting focus, launching new products, or expanding into new markets, a refreshed brand can help to communicate these changes.


Take Advantage of Budget Planning

Oftentimes, companies allocate budgets and set new goals and strategies at the start of the year. This is the ideal time to consider investing in updated branding materials, website redesigns, and marketing campaigns. Planning your rebrand early in the year gives the opportunity for adequate funds to be allocated towards your rebrand so that it can be successful, instead of trying to scrounge up money late in the year and not having the funds to execute it to the full extent or having to hold off on launching until the next fiscal year.


Maximize Marketing Opportunities

Customers are more likely to be paying attention to updates at the start of a new year as it is a common time for companies to make changes to products, services, and policies. This makes it the prime time to generate excitement with fresh marketing campaigns or identity. Additionally, if you plan to attend industry events or trade shows early in the year, a new brand identity or marketing campaign can attract a new audience and get you noticed by potential customers.


Stand Out from Competitors

The business landscape is constantly evolving, and staying relevant is crucial. If your competitors have modernized their branding or shifted their positioning, the beginning of the year is a strategic time to evaluate where you stand. A well-executed rebrand can set you apart and reinforce your unique offering.


Create a Cohesive Rollout Plan

A rebrand involves more than just a new logo or color scheme—it requires a well-thought-out strategy. The beginning of the year gives you ample time to plan a cohesive rollout, update all touchpoints (website, social media, packaging, etc.), and ensure a smooth transition for your audience.


Rebranding at the start of the year is a smart, strategic move that can revitalize your business and set the tone for success. By aligning your brand with your company’s evolving goals, engaging employees, and creating a buzz in the market, you position yourself for a strong year ahead. If you’ve been considering a rebrand, now is the perfect time to take action!

Kettering allowed us the opportunity to make lapel pins and cord keepers to use as gifts for their students and staff. These are very popular because they show affiliation with the university. The pins and cord keepers symbolize achievement and belonging, and they are very stylish. It makes a statement to others to show that you are a part of something that is worthy to be shown to people. Here at BYD, we offer branded swag to help attract the best candidates to your business. Corporate swag, also known as promotional products or branded merchandise, can offer several benefits for businesses as part of their marketing and branding efforts. However, it also comes with some challenges. Here's an overview of the benefits and challenges of corporate swag: Benefits:  Brand Awareness: Corporate swag can increase brand visibility and recognition. When people use or wear items with your company's logo, it acts as a constant advertisement. Customer Loyalty: Giving away branded merchandise to customers or clients can foster a sense of appreciation and loyalty. It can make customers feel valued and more likely to return or recommend your business. Employee Morale: Providing employees with branded swag can boost morale and create a sense of belonging. It can also serve as a tangible reminder of their association with the company. Trade Shows and Events: Branded items are popular giveaways at trade shows and events. They can attract visitors to your booth and serve as reminders of your company after the event. Lead Generation: Swag items can be used as incentives for lead generation. For example, offering a free promotional item in exchange for contact information can help build your marketing database. Cost-Effective Marketing: Compared to some other marketing strategies, corporate swag can be cost-effective, especially when ordered in bulk. Tangible Marketing: Swag provides a tangible way to connect with your audience. People often retain and use branded items, extending the lifespan of your marketing efforts. Challenges: Costs: While corporate swag can be cost-effective when done right, it can also become expensive, especially if you invest in high-quality or custom items. Budget constraints can be a challenge. Waste: Swag items that aren't well-received or are of low quality can lead to waste. They might end up in the trash, and this can have negative environmental implications. Effectiveness: The effectiveness of swag can vary widely depending on the type of items you choose and how they align with your target audience's preferences. It's essential to select items that resonate with your audience. Storage and Distribution: Managing and storing a stockpile of swag items, as well as distributing them to the right people at the right time, can be logistically challenging, especially for large organizations. Competition: Many businesses use corporate swag, so standing out in a sea of branded merchandise can be difficult. To be effective, your swag needs to be unique and memorable. ROI Measurement: It can be challenging to measure the return on investment (ROI) of corporate swag. Determining whether the cost of producing and distributing swag results in tangible benefits can be elusive. Sustainability Concerns: With growing environmental awareness, there's a greater emphasis on sustainable and eco-friendly promotional products. Using non-environmentally friendly swag can generate negative perceptions. In summary, corporate swag can be a valuable tool for marketing and branding efforts, but it should be approached strategically. Careful consideration of the type of items, their quality, and their alignment with your target audience is crucial. Additionally, managing costs, waste, and sustainability concerns should be part of your swag strategy to ensure its effectiveness.
