Today’s video eTip will dive into business branding. Watch today’s video tip to find out why almost everyone has different ideas about what business branding actually is and how you can navigate through that confusion.
What is business branding?
Some people think it’s just your logo.
Other people think it’s your website.
Yet other people think it’s your tagline.
The truth is, your branding is actually the representation of the essence of your business. It encapsulates both you and your business so that people get a feel for what it would be like to either work with you or purchase one of your products.
What is your unique selling position?
The first thing you need to do in order to establish a brand is to fully understand how you want your business to be positioned in respect to your competition; what do you want your reputation to be within your industry and who is your ideal target market?
Ultimately, exploring these elements will help you determine what people would say about your brand after they’ve interacted with it in some manner. In doing so, you can then emulate that “brand story” if it fits your vision or adjust your positioning accordingly to produce an identity that’s more in-line with your business goals.
Making sense of it all
If you’re new to the world of branding and marketing, it’s not always easy to formulate a branding strategy that consistently delivers that “brand story” to your audience. There’s too many elements to keep track of and oftentimes your message can become disjointed and malformed, like a game of telephone.

Taking this integrated approach is the reason why my clients have so much success with their branding – I help connect your brand with the right audience who are ready, willing and able to do business with you.
