Day 1
filed in Branding on Jul.02, 2009
Online today I was reading something that said “Don’t Just Start A Brand, Start A Movement.” So I think I am starting to understand branding, its about making a name for yourself. Kinda like Burger King, everyone knows what that is right? When you brand yourself people know who are you and what your all about. They can give input on you when people don’t know who you are or what it is you do.
I found a couple cute quotes from a website today that might help someone understand what branding is.
Marketing begins with the customer. Branding begins at home.
Marketing is single-minded. Branding is a gestalt.
I think its important when trying to brand yourself that you keep your name out there, let people know that what you do can benefit them and that it can be an effective investment for them. Make sure that no matter where you go, meaning each social network, that you keep consistent with your message, I think people learn better if they see things over and over again, I know I do. So its important to join as many social networking sites as you can, and keep on the same track as far as your message your trying to get across. Someone will catch on and then you will have a rippling affect.
That’s what I have learned so far. I’m off to learn some more.
