What is ''branding" and significance of it???

The American Marketing Association (AMA) defines a brand as a "name, term, sign, symbol or design, or a combination of them intended to identify the goods and services of one seller or group of sellers and to differentiate them from those of other sellers.

Therefore it makes sense to understand that branding is not about getting your target market to choose you over the competition, but it is about getting your prospects to see you as the only one that provides a solution to their problem.

The objectives that a good brand will achieve include:

• Delivers the message clearly
• Confirms your credibility
• Connects your target prospects emotionally
• Motivates the buyer
• Concretes User Loyalty

To succeed in branding you must understand the needs and wants of your customers and prospects. You do this by integrating your brand strategies through your company at every point of public contact.

Your brand resides within the hearts and minds of customers, clients, and prospects. It is the sum total of their experiences and perceptions, some of which you can influence, and some that you cannot.

A strong brand is invaluable as the battle for customers intensifies day by day. It's important to spend time investing in researching, defining, and building your brand. After all your brand is the source of a promise to your consumer. It's a foundational piece in your marketing communication and one you do not want to be without.

The Importance of Branding

Branding is an integral part of the business building process. Large corporations spend hundreds of millions of dollars building their brands, and there’s a reason:

• Brands enable customers to remember your product-service.
• Brands build customer loyalty and lead to repeat purchases.
• Brands make it easier for current clients or customers to refer you to others.
• Brands send a message as to what your customers can expect.
• Brands convey an emotion.
• Brands add value.

We use brands as shorthand to make our trips to the grocery store easier; we use brands to reassure us about our purchasing decisions; we even use brands to define ourselves in society.

Remember: a brand is a promise. With a brand, you set customer expectations. When someone buys your product or service, they count on those expectations to be fulfilled.

THREE QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER IN PUTTING UP BUSINESS

According to Robertmias:

The first three question that you may ask your self before establishing any type of business is:

 1) What do I offer? 
2) Why people will buy my product and not the products/services from my competition? 
3) Who will be my first buyer? These are the three basic questions I should be able to answer wisely.

Also, a business should include planning, goal setting, and all the things you have mentioned. In fact, all these things should be clearly state in the business plan you create. Yes, a business plan is a MUST! For sure, mostly every businessman tells you that things have occured different than projected in their business plans. The thing is that it doesnt matter. The businessplan is a guide for you, a detailed a guide, that will let you learn many things about the business you want to establish. Making financial projections, defining strategies, all of them will be a MUST do work, before making any type of business. You can tell me, ok, but I do not know how to do a business plan? Ok. There are thousands of books, institutions, organizations that help you do your business plan, entrepreneur groups and events and more.

-----For me money may the most important thing to consider in putting up business however also the innovation of a certain product makes it continually productive. In a way that it is patron by your target customer..

Putting up business may risky, it is usually people faces. But I believe that through proper planning, wise strategy, being innovative and adoptable of the changing lifestyle of people will lead you to be one of the successful BUSINESSMAN!

10 WAYS SMALL BUSINESS CAN COMPETE WITH THE BIG BOYs

---When mass marketers move into town, many small business become fearful for their very survival. Learn 10 strategies to help your "little" business survive and thrive against the big boys.

You may not be able to compete with the big boys head-on, but who says you can't make big money? The key is to do things that they do not do. Here are some strategies your “little” business can survive and thrive against the big boys:

1. Provide exceptional customer service. Treat every customer as your best customer and you will be BETTER than the big guys. As a small business owner, you can concentrate on small details -- every client is important, every suggestion is heard, every phone call is important. A larger company can afford to throw away clients if they complain. They may also not feel the pinch of losing three or four clients a week; since they figure that they will get them back next week — or so they think.


2. Pamper your existing customers. When the big boys and mass merchandisers come to town, now is the time to strengthen the loyalty of your existing customers. One way is to develop loyalty programs designed to increase overall satisfaction and customer loyalty. You can focus on rewarding customers who have repeat purchases, such as discounts for frequent purchases, special “loyal customer only” sales, or gifts to frequent buyers.
However, it is important to realize that not all freebies will work  a free t-shirt may work for one business but customers of another business may not find it meaningful. You must choose a program that your clients would want and respond to positively.

3. Consider collaborating with similar businesses. Join with small rivals to form a 'cluster' that can act as one body to rival bigger competitors. Forming an alliance or partnership with other businesses, even your rivals, is one of the best way to level the playing field and compete with major players without being at a disadvantage because of their superior size. As an alliance, you can harness some of the buying power of mass merchandisers by teaming up with other businesses, even just for basic supplies. This will allow you to cut down your costs and get cheaper inventory. By teaming up with other small operators, you can compete with big rivals by sharing the cost of marketing, such as getting a stand in a major industry trade show  something that you may not be able to afford on your own.


4. Use "loss leaders." A “loss leader” is defined as a product on which you lose money-but through which you also generate sales of other products in your mix. The idea is to price selected items at cost (or even below) in order to entice customers to go to your store; and then hope that these customers will buy more once they are inside the store. Another approach would be to sell a product at a loss, bundled with another that is profitable, such as offering “two for the price of one.” The goal is to entice customers in with irresistible offers, that they will buy other things more profitable to your business.


5. Develop a niche and focus on it. Big Boys like Wal-Mart or Best Buy have a little of everything; while you can have a little of most things and everything of one or two types of products. This will establish your store as the place to go when buying those items. The way small businesses can compete is to carry extensive items in one or two product areas. Specialize or focus on a narrow, deep but profitable niche. You can win against the giants by looking for gaps in the market that are either neglected or poorly covered by big companies. For example, you can be the only florist in your area that has all the supplies necessary for elegant parties -- and the staff that knows how to pull it together.


6. Take care of your employees. Pay attention to your employees and treat them right. Treating employees fairly is much more crucial for a small firm. Even with the rising unemployment, finding quality personnel is not fairly easy for a small business. If one decides to leave your business, there is no reserve or pool of talent. Even with a complete staff, you may find that numerous aspects of management or operations may fall into the lap of one person, which tends to make extreme time demands on that person.


7. Use technology to your advantage. Technology, now more advanced and affordable to small and large companies, provides the tools and power for small businesses to compete on an equal basis wit the big boys. It is the biggest improvement to level the field between the big and small boys. Voice mail, broadband Internet access and two-way radios, for examples, can increase efficiency by allowing small business owners to get more done in a timely and professional manner. Computers also allow for more efficient and professional customer invoicing, job pricing, and inventory tracking. If you are still not on the Web, better start now as a web site can provide you with an inexpensive, comprehensive, and professional advertising in front of your customers.


8. Present a very professional image. Small firms competing with big businesses will find that first impressions are vital. Image is crucial to winning the trust of potential customers and retaining the ones that you have. You must be professional, even if you are working from your kitchen table. Professionalism should be seen from every aspect of your business  from the way you dress, answer the phone, or design your business cards. Plus, always give the impression that your business is thriving, well established and efficient. Many customers do not mind that they are dealing with small specialist firms; as long as the business has the credibility that they are looking for. Think big and chances are your customers will too.


9. Emphasize the uniqueness of your products. People are often attracted to the idea of getting something unique from a smaller, independently owned business, but are used to the larger selection a chain store can offer. In your marketing and advertising messages, highlight the originality of your stock as compared to the universal stock a chain store offers.


10. Give your store character. Most big retailers have the same look, often impersonal, in every city. Make your store stand out by giving it an inviting character. Make shopping in your place relaxing. Greet customers as they enter the door, and let them know that you and your staff are nearby if they need any help. Never let customers wander around the store not finding what they need and no one to help them.
When a big boy moves into town, don’t be afraid. You may not be able to fight big rivals on their own ground because you simply don’t have the resources; but you can often steal a march on them by being more agile, creative and committed.

Causes of Misunderstanding in Relationships

In Cambridge dictionary the word misunderstanding means –“when someone does not understand something correctly”. 

Arguing

• • • • • • • • 
                
                
                Why we fail to understand the message: because we all have invisible boundaries of the insights of mind and intuitive power. When someone’s message falls beyond the limit of the horizon of one’s mind then his brain disagree to accept the message. Actually no one is responsible for this kind of situation, everyone is right from his thinking perspective. Then why there are so many differences among people. Education, social background, families, religions, demographic locations even temperature has effects on human mind, living in a particular atmosphere, to develop his reasoning power which is not necessarily will be the same with a person living on any other part of the world-this fact works well to a certain class of people. Since all the physical laws and the morality remains the same irrespective of place, race or creed, someone who has a sound understanding of the physical and mental system should reach at some level of understanding at any level of life including both the material and the physical world.

There are several types of misunderstanding, mostly fall into the broad categories of relationships of families &friends, religious ,social, international, scientific, philosophical etc. Most of the fights and hatred start from misunderstanding in the form of all the mentioned broad categories. Misunderstanding raise doubts which might be ended up in a crisis. For example, a couple might ended up in divorce which was deeply rooted in misunderstanding between them. Due to the lack of understanding many of today’s established scientific theory was rejected initially in the past. The same is true in case of political leaders , why some leaders stress more on environmental threats to the world and why other leaders do not pay much attention on the environmental issues. One of the explanation can be that they fail to understand that what is a current crisis to others might occur to their countries or they simply don’t understand the importance of environmental crisis or it can be intentional denial of the actual situation which is very unlikely to the characteristics of the great .

Minimizing the misunderstandingis not very difficult. Firstly, one must need to have some kind of mind set that any misunderstanding can be solved .Secondly try to figure out the main reasons of the misunderstanding; write down your point of views and the other persons’ point of view about the misunderstood topics or issues. Are there any similarities between your and your opponents’ point of views. If yes, keep working on how to find out more similarities with your opponents and try to listen to his points carefully even if he says any wrong thing without opposing let him vent his feelings. Now keep focusing your similarities with him and talk to him about only the similarities or the any positive sides of your opponent and prepare yourself for some scale of sacrifice and ask him for more time so as you can understand what he is exactly trying to mean. Conversation should not be stopped ………Time has the power to melt any iceberg, everything is succumbed to the charm of time and misunderstanding is no exception to that.

Constant kindness can accomplish much. As the sun makes ice melt, kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust, and hostility to evaporate. Albert Schweitzer

Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Martin Luther King, Jr.

How to overcome misunderstandings

There is no harm in appreciating your opponents. Perhaps the misunderstood person was your best friend or any close one, due to a misunderstanding about a silly issue he /she can’t be left alone. All the doubts and misunderstanding in any relationships only can weaken our power of growth in any aspect of life. Because most of the time you will find that misunderstanding happening between two the parties those are sharing a common goal. Everyday we are heading towards the path of unknown and our ending is closing in on us, we don’t know if we ever meet the people ,whom we see in our daily life or hubpage, after our death. If there exits a next life or not is not a matter of discussion in here .Lots of lives and energy has been wasted in the name of religions, which is just a philosophy of life only. The same is true for countries which were at wars in the past. Our first job is to behave as a human; What is human: I don’t think human is just a biological creature with a delicate mind of extraordinary reasoning power, I would rather like to see human as a concept of a virtuoso artist , our job is trying to match that concept as close as possible.

In a relationship distance can be one of the causes of misunderstanding.
