Branding Questions • What comes to mind when you hear the word brand or branding?

• How many people have Googled themselves? What did you find?

• Does anyone know the origin of the term branding?

Brand: Name, term, design, symbol, or any other feature that identifies one seller's good or service as distinct from those of other sellers. Branding began as a way to tell one person's cattle from another by means of a hot iron stamp.

Personal Brand: The process where people and their careers are marked as brands. The personal branding concept suggests that success comes from self promotion.

What is a Brand?

• When logged on to your personal Facebook profile you can create and run a business page.

• Check your privacy settings to ensure you’re only providing public information you intend to.

• Check your privacy settings on each photo album.

• Facebook constantly changes their privacy features so make a habit of regularly checking your settings.

Update Your Personal Profile

Personal Profile:• If connecting with prospective students on Facebook include your company and a brief description so

customers associate you with your business and brand• Link personal page to your business page.

Business Page:• Company information• Link back to your website• Links to your other social networks• Public Classes

Personal Profile vs Business Page

DO NOT use a personal profile as a business page

Correct business page: https://www.facebook.com/thepbrealityshow

listings choose “other” and write in the specific name for your company rather than just listing “Company Website”.
