What is a brand ?
Branding is an effort to give a unique identity to the companys products and create emotional associations with consumers. It is a form of marketing.

What is a brand ?
1. Products and services have become so alike that they fail to distinguish themselves by their quality, efficacy, reliability, assurance and care. Brands add emotion and trust to these products and services, thus providing clues that simplify consumers choice. 2. These added emotions and trust help create a relationship between brands and consumers, which ensures consumers loyalty to the brands. 3. Brands create aspirational lifestyles based on these consumer relationships. Associating oneself with a brand transfers these lifestyles onto consumers.
4.
The branded lifestyles provides value over and above the brands product or service category that allow the brands to be extended into other product and service categories. Thus saving companies the trouble and costs of developing new brands, while entering new lucrative markets.
5. The combination of emotions, relationships, lifestyles and values allows brand owners to charge a price premium for their products and services, which otherwise are barely distinguishable from generics.

MARKETING PLAN.
WHO we are trying to reach (Target Market) HOW we want to reach them WHERE the product will be available WHAT the MESSAGE needs to be (ad copy, images) HOW MUCH $$$ is in our MARKETING BUDGET (per Pro Forma P&L, Cash Flow, Balance Sheet) SWOT Analysis AND WHEN will the action happen, per a TIMELINE
Concentrate on a do-able population and scale. Be realistic in expectations. Do an accurate SWOT, not Pie in the Sky Stay the course; use your map, do not unnecessarily change direction or make adjustments to name or logo without quality research behind it. The Marketing Plan we follow MUST be thought out and researched FIRST, not last.
The
