Frequently Asked Questions

So, this question is actually answered more thoroughly in the free video course on branding. You can watch it here.

However, watching videos isn’t always convenient, so hopefully this will give you enough information to satisfy your thirst for knowledge until you're able to sit down and watch the first course.

Every person that you know has a personality and an identity, right? A brand is the same thing, but for a businesses. A brand is all about the impressions, interactions, and memories that someone has with that business. Just like how a person’s appearance, behavior, and reputation helps you to decide whether or not you want to interact with them again, or even for the first time, and on what level, a business’s brand should create the same feelings. This is called “creating a connection.”

The brand isn’t just important, it’s the most important part of your business. That’s because it should do all of the marketing work for you. There’s going to be plenty of times when you or one of your staff isn’t available to speak with a customer. Who is going to do the work then? Well, it’s up to your brand to make the sale. I’m sure you can think of several times where you’ve walked into a store pure because the sign above the door looked promising, and then walked out with a new product without having a sales person convince you to buy anything. I’m sure you can also think of a few times where you might’ve made a purchase but the stores appearance made you uncomfortable. You see? The brand can make or break the sale.

It’s the brand that people will remember. It’s the brand that people will interact with. It’s the brand that people are talking about, sharing, and referring. It's the brand that people are buying.

The first thing that you need to do is something, anything, that will grab attention. Wait... positive attention. Don't go crazy okay? Some ideas might be a heartwarming story, a fun video, a catchy slogan, or really even something a simple as a few bright colors.

Anything that makes people stop what they are doing and take notice, even if it’s just for an instant. Once you’ve done that then you’ve created the initial connection that the rest of your client/customer interactions will be based on. From there you’ll use images, stories, and more interactions to strengthen that connection, and even create some new ones.

Think about the product or service that you’re selling. It’s not easy to admit, but not everyone will have a use or be interested in that product or service. However, there will be a lot of people who are.

Now, let’s think about them for a minute. They’re out there actively looking for the type of product or service that you’re selling and they’ll buy the first, maybe second, option that they find. If your product or service is the most obvious choice then they won’t know to buy it. By standing out as much as possible your company becomes the first option for a lot of consumers, and that will be the product or service that they choose.
