Your Brand is the Heartbeat of Your Marketing.
As a small business owner, you know that sales & marketing are vital keys to success. But where do you begin?
Like your heart, a healthy, brand delivers fresh oxygen to your overall marketing “body.” If it’s working well, qualified prospects will be able to find you rather you needing to look for them.
How Does Branding Bring You Business?
Your brand is the experience you offer your prospective and current customers. If you haven’t clearly defined WHO your audience is, WHAT your unique offering is, WHY your audience would want to listen to you, and HOW to find them, then your marketing has no direction. It’s a recipe for failure, and the reason why 30% of businesses fail within their first two years.
