Are you wondering what is so important about your brand? Why is it that in business, the popular buzzword is “brand“, but unless you deal in branding on a daily basis – which, to be quite honest, you should – you just don’t really understand why it’s all so important? You paid someone to design your logo, right? Or maybe, just maybe, because you happened to be so artistically inclined, you went ahead and designed it yourself. You’ve got software, you’ve got talent, you know how to cut and paste and choose fonts, and voilà! You’ve got logo! Right? Wrong. Dead wrong.
Okay, so maybe that’s an oversimplification, but the truth is, too many business owners oversimplify the process of branding itself. On a strictly academic level, increased sales, driven by effective marketing should be the end-goal of any business owner, but in the daily process of running a business, what percentage of your daily energy output is truly devoted to managing your brand? Not sure what brand management is really all about either? Is your brand driven by sales forecast numbers alone? Probably not. The real answer and realistic solution to those questions is a mixture of art and science. It also depends on what you’re selling and most definitely, how you’re selling it.
As an individual business owner, you may be running your business day-to-day, flying by the seat of your pants because right now, the only thing that matters is being able to pay the bills and keep people interested in your products or services. With the most recent global economic events in mind, this is everyone’s greatest concern. And of course, the most logical question to follow is, “How long can I keep this going?”
