What is Branding?

Branding can be broadly defined as a marketing practice in which a business or a company combines a name with stylized elements, such as, invent symbols, designs or a logo that when applied correctly, come together to create a Remarkable or Unforgettable impression with recall value in the customer’s mind.

Next time when the customer sees across that name and associated with your sign, Logo, tagline they will be able to easily identify them as belonging to a distinct company/ business. This helps companies to carve out their own space in even highly crowded and competitive niches, and establish their line of products as distinct from other products and services.

Branding is vital not simply because of the recall value it creates, but also because it essentially informs and educates your consumers about what they will expect from your brand. Branding is often understood as a kind of conversation with consumers using long-established social and cultural cues to determine a definite persona for your brand. So much so, that the customer always knows what to expect from your brand. Good branding manages to not just distinguish itself from competitors but also is a real representation for your business and provides a compelling argument for why your brand is simply better than all available alternatives.
