Every business has a brand — Are you building yours intentionally?

A small business that understands branding and marketing and the relationship between the two will find that attracting and retaining customers is not really that hard. The struggle in marketing often comes from the belief that branding is just for products or big companies. This leads to the disconnect between who your company is being and what your company is doing.

Why you must build a solid strategy before you do anything else.

Using a smart, well-crafted marketing strategy is critical to your business achieving marketing goals, but many people misunderstand what a marketing strategy truly is. Marketing strategy isn’t your goals or objectives, it is a concise explanation of how you plan to reach those objectives.
