Building a brand

In today’s competitive times it becomes imperative to have a unique identity by building a brand. Brand building can sometimes take years and sometimes exclusivity of your product could win you accolades just at the startup of your company.

Branding is more than just a business buzzword. It has become the crux of selling in the new economy. Like the old saying goes," Nothing can happen until somebody sells something," the new philosophy on those lines is" Nothing can happen until somebody brands something."

In its simplest form, a brand is a noun. It is the name attached to a product or service. However, upon close inspection, a brand represents many more intangible aspects of a product or service: a collection of feelings and perceptions about quality, image, lifestyle and status. It creates in the mind of customers and prospects the perception that there is no product or service on the market that is quite like yours. In short, a brand offers the customer a guarantee and then delivers on it.

You might infer, then, that if you build a powerful brand, you will in turn be able to create a powerful marketing program. However, if you can't convince customers that your product is worthy of purchasing, no amount of advertising dollars, fancy packaging or public relations will help you achieve your sales goals. Therefore, successful branding programs begin with superior products and services, backed by excellent customer service that permeates an entire organization.
