You should be as invested in your brand health as you are in your personal health. Much like a blood test can identify high cholesterol or a scale can tell if you’ve gained weight, there are several ways a business can understand how well it’s faring, how it can improve, and how it can identify potential obstacles or unmet needs. That’s why any business that cares about its future should have a reliable brand tracking program.

What is a brand tracking program?

Think of a brand tracker as a physical exam to understand the impact of brand-building activities on your business. A tracking program asks real consumers about the way they engage not just with your brand, but also in your category at large.

The tracker monitors responses to these questions over time and delivers real insights that can help you make educated and confident decisions about your marketing and product development.

A brand tracker can help you:

Spot opportunities, threats, and changes in the marketplace before your competitors do,
Assess the impact of marketing activities and how those activities resonate with consumers, and
Improve your financial performance by identifying areas and activities that deliver an acceptable ROI.

Of course, you also need to ensure your brand tracker is effectively designed for your needs.
