5 ways to build an unforgettable brand
Consumers are much more likely to pay attention to organizations with which they can relate. Here’s how to create that presence online.
To get consumers talking about your product or service, you need to develop a strong, memorable, warm-blooded brand.
Straying from the mold in order to elevate your company from the pack comes with risks, of course. But in the words of hockey legend Wayne Gretzky: “You miss 100 percent of the shots you don’t take.”
