Branding Quotes

“History is filled with inferior brands outselling superior ones thanks to better branding. Only superior branding has the power to overcome and reverse this (and superior products and services deserve superior branding).”

“Your brand exists to differentiate. “Same crap, different day” won’t do it. A day that goes by without breaking some sacred branding rule is a day a brand has lost to rise above the status quo. By breaking those rules with insight, intelligent and innovation, your brand can get heard in a world that’s simply too busy to listen.”

“Everything and everyone represents at least one brand. Therefore, to brand or not to brand is not even a question.”

“Bear it in mind that when you have no brand, “no brand” is your brand and that’s a negative brand!”

“Your brand is the unique persona and identity of you, your company, product or service that sets it apart from others in the same market space. It is the image you or your business present to the world. A brand is composed of many different pieces which, together, capture the attention of your buyers. Some of the pieces are physical, but much of branding is intangible; ideas and thoughts put into words, pictures and videos. When small business owners ask themselves “What is branding?” the answer is, “the essence of the business, products or services.” Your personal brand conveys the way you are perceived; and how you want people to see and feel about you, your business and your products or services. You may want to sound very dignified and reinforce your ‘expert status’ and credibility depending on your products or services. Or you may want to sound approachable, edgy and smart. Whatever voice you choose, carry it into all your messaging, marketing materials, and web presence (your platform).”

“Brand growth and dominance is created by having the highest brand value, not the lowest price tag.”

“A brand is a person that has a voice, evokes emotion and spreads a message. Build a brand or a brand will build you. Create your personal brand. If you don't build your own brand, you will let someone else brand you with the wrong label.”

“Brand and product don’t compete. Brand is product, and everything else conforming to the unique story that consumers create when they think of you.”

“So, you don’t have money to invest in your brand? You do have money for damage control, right?Here’s the thing: anyone can make your brand inferior in your absence.”
