How to Rebrand Your Social Media Accounts

Rebranding.  Does that word scare you?  To a lot of businesses, it can be a scary word to have to consider because it means having to create a new identity for your company and brand.  But why rebrand at all?  There can be several reasons why we need to rebrand our businesses.  Sometimes it can be for the good or bad.

There are times when a company needs to seize an opportunity or thwart potential threats in the future.  Other times, companies have to rebrand as a reaction to an event that is very significant that that existing  brand has to change.  What are some of the reasons why rebrands are necessary?  Generally, any reason for having to rebrand can fall into two categories: proactive and reactive.

Here are some reasons that encompass proactive and reactive reasons.

Proactive Branding

• Predicted Growth
• New Line of Business or Market
• New Audience
• Relevancy

Reactive Rebranding

• Merger or Acquisition
• Legal Issues
• Comeptitive Influences
• Negative Publicity

But what if you’ve made a successful website rebrand happen?  Well, then the hard work has been completed!  But there’s still one thing you are going to have to take care of.  The dreaded rebranding of your social media accounts.  Well, actually, it’s not too hard, especially compared to having to deal with the website that you just finished rebranding.
