unbeaten is that you must have a unique selling proposition.
That makes you stand out from the crowd. Another simple concept
that can drive your business to success is branding.
The first concept of having a unique selling proposition is
straight forward. If your company doesn't have something unique
which separates it from the competition, then your not going to
survive for a long time.
The second concept of branding is a little more tricky and
involves creating more awareness about your company through the
use of a brand name, such as Coca Cola and even more important a
logo to represent your company.
Logos are very important when it comes to branding, and I can't
stress that enough. If you want more people to know about your
company, what better way is there than to have an attractive
logo that portrays your company? Most of the successful brands
found in the markets today, succeeded mainly due to a logo that
creates a lasting impression in peoples minds.
Nike, Puma and Adidas are among the most popular sports brands
in the world today. The reason again is that well crafted,
little logo such as a tick used by Nike which caught on really
well with the consumers. Now every time you think of a sports
brand, the first thing that comes to mind is one of the three
above mentioned brands.
Coca Cola is another successful example. The mere mentioning of
the word soft drink, triggers the minds of most people to
remember that over advertised Coca Cola logo. That is how
powerful logos are, and not just any logos, well designed logos,
which expose the company in some way into the minds of people.
This brings up the second point; who do you hire and, how much
That's a trick question, and it really all depends on two main
factors which are:
1-Your budget 2-The level of success your willing to take your
business to
First of all analyze your budget. Know how much you can spend on
an expert to design you a logo. You don't want to overspend and
end up with no money to market and advertise your business. What
you want is to grow your business. And getting a catchy logo
designed by a professional is the thing you need to consider
once your business is profitable and should come as a way to
further grow your business brand.
The second point, which is, the level of success you are willing
to take your business to, should be planned as part of your
initial business plan. So ideally, if you want to grow your
business and your brand, then you must be aware about this.
Once you have determined where your business is headed to, then
you must know the right person to hire. Again do this
accordingly to your set budget. A few points to keep in mind are:
-Cheaper doesn't necessarily mean better -You must be able to
communicate with the designer -You must be able to connect with
the designer so that you get the result you want -Check the
previous portfolio of work done by the designer (this alone can
separate the professionals from the beginners) -Make sure the
designer you hire is creative and original with ideas, without
you having to dictate everything.
So choose an appropriate designer with a good reputation rather,
pay well and remember you get what you pay for.
