Branding And Marketing, There’s A Fine Line Between
Branding is something that most of the household name companies have managed to do successfully. Coca Cola, Disney, Nike, BP, Irn Bru - the list goes on and on, we all know them well, and trust them usually too. That’s what branding is really about; creating a level of trust between client and vendor.
Have you ever scanned through the classified ads in any newspaper, or even on an online classified ad site? I’m always amazed at how many companies use their company name in the ad. These are nobody companies that no one knows of or has ever heard of outside of their own area. Why then would they want to use their company name? This isn’t branding. It’s bad marketing.
For a small company to successfully brand itself expect an uphill struggle. But of course it can be done. It will take time. Lots of time, probably, and perseverance too. But if it goes well and the company is successful, then the time and effort will be worth it. However, it is often easier to simply employ good marketing tactics. Instead of using the company name in classified ads, it might be better to simply give a few benefits that your company can deliver. It’s likely to pay off better, at least in the short term.
