What is a BRAND and what is real BRANDING?
Marketing Legend Jack Trout says a BRAND is a business “Meaningful Difference“.
What is your business’ “Meaningful Difference”?
Branding Legend Roy H. Williams (a.k.a The Wizard of Ads) says:
“Real BRANDING is making people think of your business and feel best about your business when they come in need of your product or service.”
How many people think of your business first and feel best about your business when they come in need of your products or services?
I would like to propose a new thought to you. Please squeegee your mind of all previous marketing thoughts for the moment.
I believe if you are the owner operator of your business...
YOU are the BRAND!
Yes, it is my belief that YOU ARE the “Meaningful Difference”.
My name is Randy Allsbury, I have developed a marketing system for people like you.
I have developed a way to Brand your business by Branding You, the owner.
I would like to ask you a few questions.
1. Is your personal story unique and interesting? (I am talking about your entire story. The one that tells us how you got to where you are today. The story that encourages the rest of us and gives us confidence in your abilities and expertise.)
2. Do you consider yourself an expert in a “specific” area of your business? It is your true belief there is no one better than you in that specific area of business within 200 miles?
3. Are you good to great in your “general” area of business?
4. Do you have a core group of clients or patients you would consider to be “raving fans“ of your business and of you?
If you can't answer “YES” to all four of these questions, there is really no need to procede.
If it's yes, yes, yes, and yes, then let's move forward.
Instead of focusing on the features of your company, the focus is on YOUR STORY and allowing the public to develop relationship with YOU. That’s what makes this approach so incredibly powerful and virtually impossible for your competitors to overcome.
