Is branding a small business important?

When starting a small business or home business, what are the most important considerations? Getting an office? Picking a name? Selecting the right coffee machine?

We it's actually your branding. Branding is what differentiates your business from your competitors. It's what your customers see and how your customers see you.

Branding is the collective term for how you market your business and the process is just as important for small business as it is for large business. Branding is all about how you are seen and what your products or services represent. It summarises the values, character and personality of your business, the reasons why your customers buy from you.

However, not all small business has the capacity or the funding to successfully get their branding right and this can often be the downfall for the business. Whether we like it or not, our business is often judged by how we present it and putting your head in the sand is not going to change that.
