Branding Moment: What You Read Is What You Get!

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Napa Consultants DRE00893924

We always admire branding that is straightforward and to the point.  It does not matter what the price is, what matters is that you the potential customer/client does not have to play guessing games as to what the product is or what the service is.

 

Pictured above is a bag of B & B charcoal.  We appreciated that is environmentally friendly and that it burns hotter, longer and cleaner. And it has no chemical additives, and a little goes a long way.  

 

Every aspect of this brand deals with what is in it for  the customer that will buy it, including that it labels itself as Texas style.  We all know that Texans are known for their barbecue.  

 

Smart branding emphasizes what it can do for the customer, and does not brand on how wonderful the company is.  It focuses on the customer, and not on themselves.

 

So, whether you sell ultra high net worth homes or low end properties, your brand should express what you can do for your clients, and not a whole litany of "me, myself and I"... Let your clients talk about you in their testimonials!

This unassuming bag of charcoal certainly speaks of clarity in branding. Good illustration as usual. Hope you're looking forward to a fun and productive day. D

Debb Janes EcoBroker and Bernie Stea JD I am looking forward to a wonderful day, it is warming up a bit after very cold mornings (low 40's), and creeping up to 70 degrees promises.  Happy December to you and Bernie!  A

The bag with the word Texas made me smile and made me think of Kathy Streib.

Love this Ron and Alexandra even though it did make me hungry for bbq!  There are so many products on the market and consumers don't want to spend too much time wading through stuff that matters not to them. If they want to know more about the company they can Google it.

Kathy Streib your point is well made.  This product was recommended by a real live human being at ACE who has used this herself and loves it.  I take her over over Google any day.We are barbecuing tonight...the weather is perfect for it.  A

do a great job in defining the "branding" of a product  and/or company!!  I love how you break it down with the description and how the company uses it to show how it benefits the consumer.  I like the idea of "100% natural lump charcoal".... maybe I can use that instead of a lump of coal... right?
