Al Haramain Perfumes

Who are we?

21st Century BrandingCorporate and brand identity programs are an expression and reflection of the brand’s culture, character, personality, and the products and services offered–inspiring trust with consumers, customers, employees, & suppliers .

Visual identities are the single most important emblem of business through communication. It should be simple, powerful and easily reproduced and recalled by millions of people.

However, In our virtual world, the rules are constantly reinvented, visual identities can no longer be static. A brand is more than just a logo.

Instead we must create a customer centric, flexible, multi-sensory experiences beyond the product. We’re not designing logos, but engaging and compelling experiences!

Our brand is our image as seen form the outside. Our brand is who we are – our strengths, integrity and reputation. It’s not just the logo, but also the emotional response it triggers.

It is the reason why employees and customers talk about a company. Brand building is a process that establishes and solidifies a relationship between a company, its employees, and its customers.

For example, take Starbucks. When you think of Starbucks, several images come to mind, even if you’re not a coffee drinker : Designer coffee, expensive, casual atmosphere, available everywhere, green logo, etc. It’s not an accident that all these images come to mind. Starbucks created these brand qualities to distinguish themselves from other companies.

A well-defined, well-positioned, strong brand will influence employees and customers to think of Al Haramain with positive brand attributes: quality, dependability, trust, reliability.

What do we think of when we think Al Haramain?

The problem isMost of our current material is not geared

towards any audience. This is apparent in every aspect of our communication. From perfume names to graphics, and even colors

The problem is also apparent in the disparate ways our stores are designed to the what we show to customers on tv.
