Why does space branding matter in a business?

Space branding is a tool that helps communicate your company’s brand essence and identity, through the way of designing a physical location. One of the important ways of building a strong brand is to make sure that brand awareness happens uniformly with the client and the employees.

Why is space branding important?

Businesses at any stage must understand that a well-designed logo and a website are just one aspect of branding. However, the way the office is designed conveys the story of ambition, passion, motivation and a sense of achievement for the company.

Office branding should be done in such a way that as soon as the visitors step in, they would know what the company is all about. For example, if you visit a social media agency, you will see the walls are coloured bright, the artwork talks about or shows famous influencers or personalities, the quotes hung on the wall are quirky, most of the offices have one long table where all the employees irrespective of the department and hierarchy sit together and work.

If one had to look at it generally, office branding gives its employees a sense of understanding, importance and their role in the workplace. It creates a sense of belongingness, leading to the feeling of loyalty. A satisfied workforce leads to higher staff retention and an increase in productivity.  Businesses should understand that their employees represent the company’s mission and vision leading the company to achieve its goal.

Let us look into two main aspects of branding- indoor and outdoor.What is creativity in business?

Indoor branding

What is indoor branding?

Indoor branding represents the services provided by your company. To put it simply, indoor branding simply means the interior of your company. For example, schools, colleges, cafes, supermarkets, shopping malls and many others. The atmosphere created by indoor branding helps visitors identify the brand and its products or services.

Why should you do indoor branding?

Let’s break this into points for our better understanding.

1. Visitors irrespective of gender, while using the washroom spend at least 2 or 3 minutes. Branding done in the washroom has a more engaged audience than anywhere else in the workplace. You could show off your best calligraphies here.
2. Since it is your company, you don’t require permission or need to pay a huge sum for the space to rent.
3. Indoor branding has a stronger impact on its users. Take cafes like CCD or Starbucks as an example. Their walls and their ambience scream of having a good time, of coffee, of conversations and their merchandise, are available only in their outlets. Nor CCD not Starbucks spend a single dime on marketing, even on their bad days.

Outdoor Branding

What is outdoor branding?

Outdoor branding is used to advertise your product or service outside of your company or home. Also known as OOH, basically, it grabs the audience’s attention when he is outside. Outdoor branding comes in various forms like billboards, posters wall murals. OOH is also done at bus and train stations, kiosks, taxis, public transportations, public benches, stadiums, movie theatres, outside of shopping malls and much more.

Why is outdoor branding important?

Outdoor branding reaches its consumers at a vast pace. In a short amount of time and small spending, the brand generates a higher consumer response. Let’s understand it better:

1. One of the biggest advantages is the visibility of the brands. A billboard is visible from afar. Take the real estate industry as an example, they get huge billboards made and set up for the promotion of their properties. Unlike social media ads, OOH cannot be “blocked”.
2. Outdoor brand building has time and again proven to be more effective in creating brand awareness. Since consumers cannot ignore OOH brands the way they can to online ads, it leaves very little to no control over the user.
3. OOH is one of the cheapest ways to promote your business for the long term.
