Branding Words: Why They’re So Important

Branding words can help you build your business. So, what words are you using to define your brand? Choose them well.


Branding words are key to building your business. These words are not your logo or your company name, although those are important as well. These are the words that you use to define your company. And these are the words that help you market your brand in layman’s terms. So, what are your branding words? Once you have identified these words, use them! Your company’s branding words should become familiar. Keep things consistent. You want potential customers to get the same message from you — repeatedly. The power of branding words can improve your SEO and connections you have with your customers.

“Branding is what people say about you when you are not in the room.”

Jeff Bezos
Words are pretty amazing. I have always been fascinated with the written word. I enjoy breaking words apart, figuring out their meanings, learning their uses and misuses. As a student, I studied our language: grammar, poetry, literature, and linguistics. As a parent, I teach that our words matter, always. And in my job, I market with the written word. There are endless options when choosing your words. Expressing ourselves clearly is a matter of using the right words. And branding words are no different. How do you want your company to be portrayed?
Often, it is a good idea to start with your team. Have you ever asked your employees for a word to describe themselves? This is a fun thing to ask in an interview, “Can you package how you feel about yourself into a word?” It makes us think! We asked our employees here at Boxwell for a word that describes this year for them. Not surprisingly, their words were all about transformation. Here are a few of our words:

Growth, Change, Alignment, Unpredictability, Optimism, Rollercoaster, Resilience

These words are telling and true. Businesses have seen a lot of change over the past few years. And while change and revision are necessary, it’s important to anticipate what’s ahead and prepare for any necessary shifts. How can words help? Like a vision board, your words can represent where you are and where you want to go.
From your employees to your product of service, be sure your company’s brand and purpose are well defined. That way, you will be better prepared for change and transformation. To define your brand, ask the questions, “Why does my brand exist?” and “What does my company provide?” From there, make a list of the words that come to mind. Consider what your product or service does for others. How are you helping the end users? In defining your brand this way, you will learn how your customers connect with your brand. 

Identify the strengths and characteristics that make you unique. You may have a compelling origination story, give back to your community in a meaningful way, or offer competitive prices. Whichever way you stand out, emphasize it on all your platforms and communication channels. This will increase the likeliness of you reaching the audience that appreciates or identifies with your mission.

Once your company’s brand and purpose is defined, consider how you line up with your customers. As a business, it would be wonderful to know exactly what your customers are looking for. What are the keywords people are using to search for your particular product or service? The ball is definitely in the consumer’s court, and it’s digitally driven. It’s key to know what your potential customers are searching for. What are the words that will drive them to your site and your brand? Do these keywords align with your company’s words?

At Boxwell, our purpose is to build customized storage solutions for the success of each of our customers. Some of our branding words are relocatable, portable, flexible, durable, moveable, authentic, convenient, easy to install, custom, innovative, community, storage. And some of our keywords are self storage units, moveable storage, portable storage, moving storage containers, steel containers, drive-up storage, container storage sales, container cost.
More and more, you’ve heard of keywords and how they relate to SEO. Businesses are learning how to manipulate their online ranking with keywords.  Keywords work to spread your company’s purpose. They help your customers find you and understand what you offer. They also help you interact with your target audience. Keywords are terms that people type in search engines when they want to find specific information. 
Having a dominant online presence is one of the most effective ways to attract potential customers. Did you know that between 66% and 81% of customers conduct some form of online research before making a purchase? So, what are your potential customers searching for, in particular? Popular keywords in the self-storage industry will give you some insight on what to highlight and promote. Find out what these keyword searches are. And use these keywords anywhere your brand exists online, including your website, within your blogs and social media posts.

Words are powerful nuggets indeed. In business, it’s so important to learn the words that define your employees and your brand. Write down your purpose and find those customers who match your mission!
