We’ve all got brands that we always choose over others, and why you choose certain shops over others. Do you ever stop to think why you have these preferences over all the multiple brands that exist in the market?

It’s simple really. The unique selling point of a particular product may be its bran

ding. The truth is that these days, there are numerous products or services in the market that are alike – and when you add what’s available on the internet to this, the numbers start to multiply even more.

Fast food, soft drinks and car brands normally serve only one or two functions, but because of their branding, people may perceive them to be unique, maybe even superior to other brands in the market!

Some brands think that they can pretty much get consumers (you and me) to select them by simply dropping their prices or being a jack of all trades (think about brands like Virgin and Tesco who seem to have a hand in many pies these days).

The problem is, most people would have thought of that as a shortcut or haphazard method of building a business, when the truth is many smaller and unsuccessful businesses normally resort to such a method without success.

So does building a brand mean you’ll have to spend thousands of pounds creating ad campaigns? The answer is simple – no. Don’t forget the thing you need to brand online the most…is you !

There will be a fair bit of creativity, some thinking and some research to do should you want to create a powerful brand that breaks through the monotony of boring competitor sites in your market and reaches out and grabs the attention of your potential customers.
