What Is A Brand?

Can you define it in 6 words?

No, it's not Nike's "swoop". It's not Mc Donalds "I'm loving It" jingle.

It's not the design of our website or our tagline. A Brand Is...

"What Your Customers Says It Is"

I think that is one of the best 6 word explanation of a brand ever said.

If you want to throw millions away on advertising and just "get your name out there", then good luck on your journey, but...

If you want a good reminder of what you should be doing instead, then that can be summed up in 3 words.

And what type of advertising should you be doing no matter how much of a budget you have? The simple answer and one we've hit on a lot...

You know the 3 words right? This is the only type of advertising you should be doing and the only type your competitor should be doing.

You need to not worry about the branding like Coke, Pepsi or Mc Donald's.

You should be doing what?

  • Well here what I prefer to say about Brand in Three Free Tools,
    To Help Define Your Brand Identity

    Who's got the biggest, baddest blog on the block? Well, if you've got a strong brand identity, you do. Part of your brand strategy should be making your blog or your website the one people turn to when they need to know what's going on in the world.

    That's not brand what you're referring to. that's really what you're providing which can go towards overall picture or identity, but the direct response brings them to you whether it's a blog, website, sales page or whatever.

    It doesn't matter if giving something away or selling it, direct response brings them to you versus you chasing them.

    .
    That is 100% correct. The good news is we can control how they connect the
    dots to a meaningful brand.

    A lot of businesses think a tagline, logo or, er... a blog is 'the brand'.

    The days of 'getting your name out there' are long gone. With people seeing
    3000+ ads per day our message/company is white noise. The fastest way to
    create a kick ass brand is to get more customers, then hopefully you gave them
    something worth talking about/remembering.
