Of course the reverse is also true, building your brand the correct way from the ground up with will keep it strong and have people not only using your product but telling their friends about it as well.

| Business Tips: How Companies Build a Strong Brand |
If you’re brainstorming ways to build, or improve upon, your brand you shouldn’t over think it. Start out by making sure you have covered all the basses. Solid technology, top level security and amazing customer support.
Security Measures
Make sure that your customers feel safe when they are using your product. If your brand is on a website or it’s a downloadable app, scan it daily to make sure that you haven’t been infected with viruses and/or malware. There are many different security seals that you can purchase and display on your page. This will give your customers a secure feeling when using your brand, and will help ensure that they keep on coming back.
When two strong brands team up, the result is usually great for the consumer and your brand. A great example of this is “PayPal Slots” the combination of Slot Heaven and PayPal. Users already loved the games and service that they got when playing at Slot Heaven, and they don’t have to worry about any funny business when it comes to depositing and withdrawing money, because of their connection with PayPal.
Technology
There is nothing that will sink a brand like old technology. Pay attention to your competitors, download their app and play their games. There are few things that will sink a brand faster than having your customers realize that they can have a better experience elsewhere.
Take a look at Apple, they are one of the most recognizable brands in the world, but they never rest on their laurels or stay satisfied with their technology. If they did, they know that Android will surpass them in no time. So they are constantly making updates to their OS, rolling out new products like the Apple Watch, and releasing a new iPhone seemingly every couple of months.

As an entrepreneur, there is no better company for you to try and emulate then Apple. Keep your products running with the latest cutting edge technology and don’t be afraid to take some chances and your customers will take notice. As long as your main product is representing the brand proudly, like the iPhone, even if some of your smaller products aren’t as popular as you had hoped, you’re consumers will take notice and that will strengthen your brand name.
Customer Support
Make sure that you are there for your customers and that they know how important they are to you. Find the medium that is easiest for your clients, whether it’s a ticket system, E-mail, live chat and of course staying on top of your social media accounts and interacting with your customers there.
