What is branding? Do I need it for my small business?
Branding
So, you are a small business and you are wondering, just how important is branding to you … isn’t that just for big businesses?
Big businesses certainly have the resources to spend on branding, but that does not mean small businesses should ignore branding for themselves.
So, what is the point of branding for small businesses?
You don’t want to be confused with your competitors, do you? If not, then you need to create your own brand that distinguishes you from others.
When people see your business name, you want them to form a mental picture of your business and what it represents. How do you do that? By your branding and by the quality of the service/products that your business provides.
To get the greatest exposure possible for your business, you need everything you do and own to protect your brand. That means anything from having your vehicle sign written, uniforms, stationery, signs, the building you occupy, and anything else related to the business.
You may be thinking, branding sounds expensive, so I can’t afford it; but it’s not necessarily the case. It does however require reflective time on your behalf to consider what you want people to think of your business.
