Is your brand in great shape to rock your business and attract the perfect engagements for you to bring your magic to the marketplace? If not, take my advice and check out Maria Ross’ new book, “Branding for Small Business: How to Create an Irresistible Brand on Any Budget (2010, Norlights Press)
“Maria Ross cuts through the fluff and explains why strong brands are built on customers’ experiences, and not on huge advertising budgets. Ross concisely describes how to mold a meaningful brand, why companies need one, and how a brand should be applied. Complete with real examples from top companies, this book is a roadmap leading small businesses and entrepreneurs in the right direction.”

I love the ‘branding’ conversation and have been exploring it for some time myself. This book sounds fantastic for extending that conversation into action. We all are a brand, period. I continually ask am I the ‘brand’ I want others to see. Do I model it well?
Whether on video, in person, online or in email am I representing the brand for maximum impact? I am not sure? That’s my intention and I wonder what I might be missing. The book would be a perfect addition to my quest for understanding and clarity around Tammy as Brand.
What a delightful opportunity. I look forward to hearing all the comments and thoughts others have on branding.
Thank you for always calling us to think out of the box Nancy!
