Branding Begets Marketing
![Page 8: Wow TRUE BRANDING 032311](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110113/54439ee9afaf9fa0098b458f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Branding in the marketplace is very similar to branding on the ranch.
In the old West, the brand was the identity of a ranch.
A UNIQUE mark on “your cow” differentiating it from “all the other cattle on the range,” even if they all look pretty much alike.
How Branding Got Its Name
![Page 9: Wow TRUE BRANDING 032311](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110113/54439ee9afaf9fa0098b458f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Every time you see, hear or think of a brand, you think of your experience with it.
It’s all about relationships and experiences. (engagement)
WHAT WILL CUSTOMERS SAY ABOUT YOUR COMPANY’S “BRAND EXPERIENCE?”
The Essence of Branding
![Page 10: Wow TRUE BRANDING 032311](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110113/54439ee9afaf9fa0098b458f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
If you do not define yourself or your brand, it will be defined for you.
Brand management is a process - not a project you decide to do because it’s the next, big “in thing.”
Branding doesn’t have to be costly - it just takes planning and consistency to carry out.
