Why Build Your Brand Awareness?

More Leads, More Revenue

Businesses often express the desire (desperation!) for more leads and more revenue.

But marketing and sales is a continuum, and it starts with awareness. For example:

Business decision-makers are much more likely to buy from a familiar company.

Prospects who are already aware of you are much more likely to buy quickly and with less price sensitivity than those who are unaware.

What is Your Brand?

Brand Position: the place your company occupies in a prospect’s or customer’s mind when he or she thinks about you.

Brand Promise: what you promise to deliver to your customers when doing business with you.

You want your brand position = brand promise
