What is a Brand and Why Should You Care?

10 comments

What is a brand and why should you care? I mean, all you need is a logo and you’re good to go, right?

Wrong!

A logo is more than putting a pretty logo up and hoping for results. What businesses, organizations, professionals, and artists of any kind need is strategic branding based on your personality, strengths, and goals. This takes thorough analysis and strategic implementation.

Watch this quick video below to understand exactly what a brand is, why you should care, and what one can do for you.

Brand Marketing Success–When What You Offer Lines Up with What You Say!

Leave a comment

Today I experienced what it is like to be satisfied with a brand.

As an As Seen on TV fan, I had always been curious about Pajama Jeans.

The commercials always say that they are so comfy, that they’re just like sweats.

Well, it’s true!

The product really does live up to their brand marketing!

How refreshing!

Now think about this. How do you feel when you purchase a product or service and it doesn’t live up to its promise? The brand is damaged in your eyes, right?

That’s why building a brand based on authentic identity is so important!

You’ve got to thoroughly analyze who you are and what you offer and WHOM you offer it to!

When your customers find out that you came through with your promise of delivery, your brand will stand out. Because they will want to talk about you! In a positive light!

What was the first thing I did when I realized I was thrilled with the jeans? I shared my experience with my friends, especially on Facebook!

So be authentic in your brand and it will sizzle!

Business Card Design–Why a Custom Design is So Important

4 comments

Business card designs. How do you keep a potential contact from throwing your business card away?

You make sure they want to keep it!

How? Let me illustrate!

Last night after a meeting attended, I had a conversation with the speaker. In the course of our talk, I gave her one of my business cards, which of course, I always have on hand.

What was her response?

Very favorable! As soon as she saw it, she made some kind of “oh” sound and something about, “I like it!” Very enthusiastic!

Do you think I gave her a Vistaprint free card?

Absolutely not!

I gave her one of my custom-designed cards. This card features my logo, my picture, a nice background, my website in big letters and a little pitch for my ezine list (see above.)

It’s definitely unusual and she noticed immediately!

What about you? What kind of responses are you getting with your business cards? Do you even have business cards? What is the purpose of your business cards? What kind of response are you trying to get with them?

Cheap and free is not always best. In fact, it can be detrimental to your business!

If you want a successful business, then you must take it seriously. And this means investing in custom-made business cards. Then your brand will truly sizzle!

How would you like to have a sizzling future, one that is bright and dazzling? Is that even possible in today’s doom and gloom economy?

Absolutely! How? By creating a brand based on your passions. Whether you are a small business owner, stay at home mom wanting to supplement your income, homeschooling family looking to start a family business, direct seller, network marketer, career professional, writer, author, musician, coach or high school or college student, you need a brand to give you a path to a sizzling future.

You indeed can stand out above the crowd and have a sizzling future.

Introducing my webinar workshop series starting in April that will help you create this sizzling future by creating a sizzling brand!

Logos for Companies–5 Steps to Creating a Serious Brand that Attracts Attention

6 comments

Logos for companies communicate the Unique Selling Proposition of a business. A logo is more than an image, it is the representation of the company’s brand. A logo image is what helps distinguish a business from another, IF it’s designed effectively.

An ineffective logo will leave a company flat. It will not stand above the crowd. It will not be recognized and get any exposure.

This spells disaster for a business, especially a small business!

How can you create a serious brand that attracts attention?

Here are five steps that will ensure you get the exposure you need to skyrocket your profits!

1) Thoroughly analyze your business mission, goals, passions, skill sets, strengths, weaknesses, etc. The more you know about what makes you and your business unique, the better brand you will make.

2) Who is your target market? The more details you have on this, the better. What is the pain your market experiences? What are they afraid of? What solutions are they looking for?

3) Analyze your current branding materials. This includes everything. Your signage if you are a brick and mortar store, your website, business cards, blogs, email messages, newsletters, brochures. Look at these as objectively as you can and ask yourself these questions: a) Is there a consistent look to them or does your branding on all these materials look different? This can lead to confusion for your target market! b) Is your brand/logo appealing to your specific target market? Will it connect with them? If you make a modern, hip-looking brand, for instance, and your audience is affluent seniors, you will not connect with this audience. In fact, you will most likely turn them off. And vice versa!

4) Have the logo professionally designed. Do not use cookie cutter logos! Why? These logos are available to a wide market and not made specifically for your business. It will not be communicating your Unique Selling Proposition, you will not attract your audience, and your business will plummet. If you don’t take your business seriously, a prospect will not take you seriously. Your brand is your most valuable asset. Invest wisely!

5) Make sure your brand is professionally produced on marketing materials, websites, and collateral. It is a shame to have a wonderful logo and then produce a business card that is subpar. When a prospect visits your website and the logo is all jagged and fuzzy, they unconsciously feel distrustful of your business. It’s really a big turn off!

If you can’t hire it out to a professional design contractor because of lack of funds, learn how to do it yourself. Or at least learn about the process so you can outsource the logo design to any Internet freelance company.

Pay attention to these steps and you will have a logo that will attract attention and that means your profits will skyrocket!

Want to learn more about creating a brand that will attract attention? Take my free mini video course which includes a mini free report!

Ready to get more help? I am starting a new branding course for the Spring! The course includes a free trial until on or around February 29 and if you reserve your seat before February 9, you will receive an early bird discount. But hurry! Reserve your seat now before it fills up! Space is limited!
