3 Cloud-Based Tools to Boost Your Brand's Image
Saturating both digital and print media outlets doesn’t guarantee your business will garner the attention it needs to make its presence known in the marketplace. In fact, there’s a chance your efforts could backfire and fail to accurately convey your brand’s image.
However, implementing an effective brand management strategy and harnessing the power of cloud-based tools can give your brand’s reputation the boost it needs to attract more prospects and increase conversion rates.
Here are some cloud-based tools worth considering:
1. Cloud Storage
When system outages occur, your company may experience a decrease in employee productivity until data recovery procedures are fully executed. Furthermore, customers or other end users will be inconvenienced if they’re using a self-service module. According to the results of a recent survey from Coleman Parkes Research, North American businesses experience approximately 10 hours of downtime annually due to system issues or errors. This equates to lost revenues and the risk of your brand’s reputation being slightly tarnished if your customers decide to complain online.
However, implementing a cloud-based storage system helps eliminate issues of this sort since essential files and data are kept in a remote location that is always accessible.
2. Reputation Management Software
