Toronto, Ontario - Dec. 20, 2005 - From Nike\'s swoosh and the simple Apple logo to
the basic brown of UPS, successful businesses of all sizes and industry groups are
branding their companies to catapult to new levels of success.

The benefits of having a strong brand are tremendous. Some of the fundamental
benefits include:
· Top of mind customer recognition
· Customer loyalty
· Reduce barriers to sale
· Increase value of the business
· Higher profit levels
· Larger market shares
· Charge premium pricing
· Thrive during economic downturns
· Attract great employees, partners and customers

How to Build Your Brand
Branding is much more than the creation of a logo or a name. A brand reflects the
customers\' perception of your company and the quality of products and services you
provide.

Strong brands all have something in common. They exhibit the "three Cs" of branding.
The three Cs are: clarity, consistency, and constancy. Strong brands are clear about
what they are and what they are not, they are always what they say they are, and
they are always there for their customers and prospects.

Look at brands that work: Coke, Nike, Apple Computer; their brands on packaging and
products, Web sites and brochures, carry a simple, compelling visual message that
elicit very specific feelings in their audience. Whether or not people like the red
used in the Coke lettering or the simple apple icon used by Apple Computer, they are
compelling and significant icons that evoke strong recognition and often positive
feeling. That\'s what a brand is about: embodying the attributes of your company or
product.

How to Know If Your Business Is Brand-Worthy
· Are you really passionate about what I am doing with my business, service or product?
· Do have a big vision of your business, service or product?
· Is your product or service a real benefit to lots of customers?
· Are you prepared to surround yourself with a team or the knowledge to accomplish
the business success that developing your business as a brand delivers?

If your answers to these questions are yes, then you have the makings to develop
your business as a brand. You just need the knowledge and practice to do so.

In 2006 entrepreneurs should make Branding a top priority for their businesses. They
can leverage proper branding techniques to launch their new product, expand to new
markets, and create a wow factor with customers. There is no second chance to make a
first impression.
