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.

An inside page of a ministry report for The Navigators.

You need a brand!

Why? Because your brand will distinguish you from above the competition, whether you are competing against the slush pile of an acquisition editor or the jungle of Amazon as a self-published author.

Watch the video to find out what a brand is and why you need one as an author:

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!
