Why Branding Is So Important

External: Branding seeks to distinguish your company, product or service from the competition and create a lasting impression in your prospect's mind.

Internal: Powerful brands increase employee satisfaction, loyalty, and achievement drive.

 

 

 

 

Brand Defined

Brand is a synergistic combination of its attributes (name, logo, slogan, value mantra, design, etc.) and the reputation that differentiates a firm or a person from others, or a product/service for those of competition.

❷ Your brand is your company's reputation and, therefore, your promise of value.

❸ Your brand is differentiated from competitors and delivers unique relevant benefits to your target customers. The greater your brand is, the more benefits it delivers to your customers than your competitors.

Hashtag As a New Branding Tool

In today's Internet-powered and social media dominated World, hashtags emerged a new powerful branding tool. On social media web sites and applications, hashtag is a word or phrase preceded by a hash '#' and used to identify messages relating to a specific topic.
