The impact of company image on corporate reputation

By Reputation X on 2/23/21 12:24 PM

Highlights

  • Corporate image and corporate reputation are subjective perceptions that affect how people see and interact with your business.
  • Corporate image is more about how a brand makes people feel, while reputation includes people’s perceptions of a company’s products, leadership, finances, social responsibility, and interactions with its customers, employees, and community. 
  • Both corporate image and reputation can impact a company’s revenue and success.
  • Even if you have a good corporate reputation, a poor company image can hurt your revenues.
  • Incorporating image consulting into your reputation management strategy can improve your brand’s reach and success.

At a first glance, a corporate image and a corporate reputation might seem like synonyms. There are definite similarities between the two:  both your corporate image and your corporate reputation are important subjective perceptions that affect not only how people see your business, but also how and if they do business with you.

How much is your corporate reputation worth?

By Reputation X on 2/19/21 7:58 AM

Measuring the impact your corporate reputation has on your business

  • Measuring the value of corporate reputation is important yet challenging. 
  • Corporate reputation is only becoming more valuable to companies.
  • Measurement is difficult because corporate reputation is an intangible asset. It is difficult to quantify how people think and feel about your brand.
  • One approach to measuring corporate reputation is analyzing a company’s stock prices, financial statements, and brand loyalty.
  • Companies can measure customer loyalty by looking at their net promoter score, customer loyalty index, customer lifetime value, and/or repeat purchase rate.
  • At the core of the challenge of measuring the value of corporate reputation is accurately combining the impacts of quantitative vs. qualitative factors.

There is no perfect formula for measuring the value of corporate reputation. While many researchers have presented theories, a brand’s reputation is still an intangible asset. We know it is important, yet it’s challenging to quantify because it focuses on how people think and feel about your brand.
