Implications of Adopting Digital Transformation to Your Business

  • Written by News Feature Team

You are probably living under a rock if you are unaware or you do not acknowledge the digitalisation of the world around us. The Internet was also a novelty eons ago and is now a taken for granted invention. Now, without internet the present situation is such that it is almost impossible to get most of the things done. Technology has advanced by leaps and bounds and reached new zeniths, which would have been impossible to imagine even a decade ago. In this age of digital revolution if you and your business have not jumped on to the digital age wagon, then you are definitely losing out.

 

Businesses, in order to flourish and expand, need to get a digital transformation. This means that they need to let go of traditional business practices and incorporate the benefits of new technologies into their business model. There are a number of examples to prove that those businesses that have resisted the need to adopt digital transformation have not been able to stay afloat in the long run.





However, opting to digitally transforming and reinvent your business does not mean that you blindly apply each and every new technology that surfaces. This is because not every technology, platform, application or digital solution is applicable or suitable to your particular business. What your business needs is a planned strategy aimed for your particular goals, target groups, requirements and specifications. To answer all queries and aid you and your business in digital transformation consulting a specialist company can be sought. These experts are not only technologically sound, but even possess the analytical skills to help decide the optimal digital transformation strategy for your business.

 

Strategies for businesses to transform digitally

 

Once a business has decided to adopt digital technologies to their daily operations, they must identify which areas of the business can be transformed and which will benefit the business.

  • *  Strategies concentrating on customers

This refers to a consumer or customer centric digital transformation. Identifying platforms or places where your consumers are online can help you plan ways to meet the customers there and help your business get noticed. Your business must adopt the transformations to meet the technological advances that change the life of the consumers.

 

  • *  Planning transformations ahead of time

Transforming your business digitally is not a one-step process. It does not mean that you adopted a particular change or technology and now you can sit back and enjoy the outcomes. Digital transformations occur on an ongoing basis. Therefore, as a business you need to plan ahead as far as transforming digitally is concerned. The key is to be digitally relevant at all times and for that your business needs to evolve with changing times. Thus, while strategizing, ways to keep evolving and being relevant must be taken into account.

 

  • *  Thinking of how the transformation will bring innovation

Most businesses consider transforming digitally to be a way of enhancing the operations that they are already carrying out. This is true to some extent. However, look for innovation as well while aiming to go for a transformation.

 

Thus, embrace change digitally within your business such that you reach the target audience, by being relevant and also strive for innovation. Also, it will help you getting things done faster and simpler, as that is the true aim of digital transformation.

How to Trademark Your Business’s Brand

  • Written by News Feature Team



Determining a trademark for your brand can be done before or after you have opened your business. Of course, it is wise to do so beforehand. Choosing a trademark, which can be a name, phrase, word, symbol or product (or combo thereof) that represents your business, can be tricky business. It is very important that you do a trademark search to ensure that it isn't already registered with another business. The last thing you want is a trademark infringement lawsuit over your head. Learning how to trademark your business is simple. Just follow these steps and you should do just fine.


Trademark Research


The first step for learning how to trademark your brand is to do tons of research. You can do this on your own or use the help of a trademark attorney. With an attorney, you can receive legal advice regarding the trademark that you're interested in using. For instance, if the lawyer finds that your name or symbol is too similar to another business's trademark then he or she may advise you against using it. You should avoid using anything too similar to other business's trademarks, so that you won't have any problems in the future. This especially goes for businesses that sells the same products or services as yours. You can go to the USPTO web site and use its TESS database to research designs and words/names/phrases. It will detail whether the trademark has an application that is pending, approved, dead, abandoned or expired. If you find the one that you want that has an application that is one of the latter three, then you can go ahead and file your application for the trademark.


Online Trademark Application


Once you have researched the trademark that you would like to use, you can fill out an application online at the USPTO web site. To ensure that your application gets approved, you can use a trademark attorney to do the research for you to make sure that your trademark meets the requirements of the USPTO. You have to be using the trademark for commerce purposes and not simply registering it to own it. So you must use the trademark for your services or products. An attorney can give you direction on how the trademark business works.


Trademark Registration


After your trademark has been registered, it will last for about ten years. There are periodic requirements that must be met to keep your trademark registered. Since trademarks are territorial, it will only be effective in the United States. However, you're able to file an “International Application”, which will allow you to register your trademark across seas. Before you're able to do this, you must have a qualified application pending or approved. It usually costs a couple hundred dollars to have your trademark registered, and depending on where you live, it can be around $1,500 to receive assistance from a trademark attorney.


Now that you understand how to trademark your business's brand, you should have no problems getting everything sorted out. Until you have registered your trademark, you can use the common law rights to protect your logos, business name and/or product.


When you start growing your brand, you should consider doing nice things for your loyal customers. For instance, you can send them personalized gifts from Edible Arrangements. As a brand, your focus should be on retaining customers just as much as it is on gaining new ones!
