We worked with Dusit Hotels & Resorts to set brand standards for their three hotel brands: Dusit Thani Hotels & Resorts, Dusit D2 hotels & resorts, and Dusit Devarana Resorts. The goal was to ensure a strong brand positioning for the quickly expanding brands and ensure consistency throughout all channels and touch points.
The strength of a brand lies in maintaining consistent standards and effectively communicating and applying these standards across all touchpoints with guests, staff, partners, and the public. This consistency is crucial for several reasons:
A brand that consistently delivers on its promises builds trust with its audience. When guests, staff, partners, and the public encounter uniform standards across all interactions, they develop a sense of reliability and predictability. This trust is foundational for long-term loyalty and advocacy.
Consistency in standards helps establish a clear and recognizable brand identity. When every touch point—whether it’s a marketing message, customer service interaction, product experience, or internal communication—reflects the same values and quality, it reinforces the brand’s image in the minds of all stakeholders. This consistent identity makes the brand easily recognizable and memorable.
Consistent standards translate into a predictable and high-quality customer experience for guests. Whether engaging with the brand online, in-store, or through customer service, they expect a certain level of service and quality. Meeting these expectations across all channels ensures customer satisfaction and encourages repeat business.
Consistent standards provide clear guidelines for staff’s expectations. This clarity can improve employee morale and performance, as staff understand the brand’s values and the level of service they are expected to deliver. It also fosters a unified organisational culture, where everyone works towards the same standards and goals.
For partners, consistent standards signal a reliable and professional organization. Partners and collaborators want to align themselves with brands that have a clear and consistent identity, as it ensures a smooth and predictable relationship. Consistency in brand standards helps in establishing strong and trustworthy business partnerships.
Consistent brand standards contribute to a positive reputation for the general public. Brands that are consistent in their messaging, quality, and actions are seen as credible and trustworthy. This positive perception can lead to greater public support, positive word-of-mouth, and a strong market position.
Establishing consistent standards can help a brand respond effectively in times of crisis. Clear, consistent communication reassures stakeholders that the brand manages the situation according to its values and principles. This can mitigate damage to the brand’s reputation and help maintain trust.
Consistency in standards can also serve as a differentiator in a crowded marketplace. Brands known for their unwavering commitment to quality and service can stand out from competitors. This consistency becomes a vital component of the brand’s unique value proposition.
In summary, maintaining consistent standards and ensuring these are communicated and applied across all interactions with guests, staff, partners, and the general public significantly enhances a brand’s strength. This consistency builds trust, strengthens brand identity, enhances customer and employee satisfaction, fosters strong partnerships, and maintains a positive public reputation. In an increasingly competitive and dynamic market, such consistency is beneficial and essential for sustainable success.
The corporate brand identity standards allowed the hotel and resort properties to focus on operations and sales activities. We did also support individual properties with collateral design, and imagery.
