Make People Know About Your Business

Taking care of your home or office based business can be challenging.  It can also be expensive, which is why it is so crucial to ensure that you are gaining as many new clients as possible.  This type of skill is commonly referred to as brand awareness.  This can come in many forms such as social media, marketing for business growth and local exposure. To begin, you must gain a rather well thought out plan for your brand strategy.  If you will be seeking the attention of a younger group of people, then look into social media marketing and brand positioning that is aimed at a more youthful base.  You might want to consider using sites on the web such as Twitter and Facebook.  Culturally speaking, those primarily between the ages of seventeen and thirty-five utilize those social networking platforms not just on a daily basis, but in some cases even ...

Build Your Brand Image by Giving

It has been said that there is no such thing as a ‘free lunch’- but everybody wants one anyway. The concept of receiving something for nothing is an ingrained part of the human psyche, which can be integrated into successful marketing efforts. Businesses all over the world are taking advantage of this fact, and are busy giving away freebies to customers in order to build brand awareness and increase visibility. Does it work? The answer to that question is a resounding yes.  The proof is in the figures – as research has indicated that a whopping sixty percent of customers who collected free samples or have received give-ways, ultimately convert into regular purchasing customers. Obviously, that’s money in somebody’s pocket. Free product samples as well as product giveaways, can easily take the place of extensive branding procedures such as advertising and marketing. It does this by allowing the customer to sample the product ...

Building Brand Awareness Through New Media

New media has a unique ability to serve an array of functions based on what is being represented. The Harvard Business review recently featured an article on how top brands use social media to build trust between themselves and their consumers. Twitter and Facebook are effective tools for these brands to enforce and broaden their identities as well as enhance customer relationships. Due to the already-existent acquaintance with such products with top brands, their incentive is primarily to expand trust around the association everyone already has with them. How does new media work for the brands, businesses and non-profits with whom everyone doesn't already have a seemingly-innate association? For the little guys, social media seems to mainly increase familiarity with who they are and what they do. It's sort of as if they're the infant versions of their "elder" name brand counterparts. Rather than enforcing their brand's identity, they're creating their ...

A Practical Guide To Branding

Define your brand identity—your product's "personality"—before you spend a dime on advertising or marketing Talk to entrepreneurs about their marketing and communications efforts, and they'll often use the words "branding," "marketing," and "advertising" interchangeably. “That reflects the pervasive confusion about the terms”, says Gail Guge, managing partner of Wilkin Guge Marketing in Ontario, CA. "About 15 years ago, 'branding' became a buzzword in the business vernacular, and people still get the words mixed up all the time," she says. That confusion is unfortunate, because understanding the concepts and how they mesh is vital to every company's bottom line. Studies show companies that market their products or services without first establishing their brand identities are not likely to achieve return on investment. "If you're spending money to advertise and market without being connected to a brand position, you might as well pile ...
