The beginning of any great brand starts with the development of an idea. The idea starts with a vision that turns into a concept. That concept then becomes an identity with a concrete visual. Once achieved, a brand is born. Branding is a relatively simple concept; it involves delivering a consistent message at every point of public contact informing customers of the goods or services available. The complication rises when it is realized that branding is not about enticing a customer to chose your product over the competition, it's about communicating why your brand is the only product that provides a solution to their problem. The branding objective should achieve a clearly delivered message, confirm credibility, connect and motivate the buyer emotionally, and create user loyalty. An effective business brand will find a place in the psyche of a population; an excellent business brand will become synonymous with the goods or services it provides. The modern business world conducts so many of its affairs online, web sales, and social media, the concept of marketing has evolved well beyond the point of recognition. Whether they like it or not, all businesses now have a brand, but not all businesses are controlling their brands. The foundations of developing a strong and successful brand are based on 6 principles that are essential to development and growth.
