Check this 👇🏻out from one of our newest members, AJ Brand. Solid information 💥I saw this brand question on a small business forum last night:

"Is branding more about standing out or being trusted?"

If you stand out but you aren't trusted, no one will buy. If people trust you but you blend in, you'll never get a chance to sell.
​
​If you take a step back, business is an exchange of value. People trade what they have (money) for what they want (product/service). And what they really want isn't the thing, it's what it does and, more importantly, how it FEELS.
​
That feeling is your brand. It's a perception of value. So branding is just perception management, because everything a business says and does changes the way people think and feel about it.
​
​Think about it. Every purchase is a risk. The outcome of your objective is uncertain. There’s no such thing as “real value.” You are only ever buying your PERCEPTION of the value and an exchange takes place if and only if the perceived value (what we want to do and feel) exceeds the perceived cost (time, money, effort we give).

And how do we increase perceived value? That’s your strategy. It’s your theory to deliver unique value. How you’ll help people get what they want and can’t get anywhere else. Think supply/demand. You’re increasing demand (something people really want to do or feel) and decreasing supply (fewer substitutes available).

So, what does this actually mean for a business owner?

Your brand *is* your business.

It's not your logo, not your marketing, not something you change every 5 years to make you look “modern.” It’s everything.

Because if they don’t see the value, they’ll find it somewhere else.
