]]> Comment on Branding Your Business: What Does That Mean? by Shirley George Frazier http://www.apexgiftbasketpros.com/2008/08/13/branding-your-business-what-does-that-mean/#comment-11733 Thu, 14 Aug 2008 13:54:20 +0000 http://www.apexgiftbasketpros.com/2008/08/13/branding-your-business-what-does-that-mean/#comment-11733 You've given us a great reminder about visibility, Lorie, both online and offline. Branding is a quick and easy process when separated into bite-sized pieces. One project completed each month, whether sending information by mail or Emailing a newsletter, builds your brand. Suddenly, many people are positively talking about your business, buying from, recommending, and referring you. And it only takes one project per month to get the sales train rolling.

Although many don't take the time to write one, everyone is thrilled to receive one. It will certainly make you and your service memorable.

There's no other way to get more gift baskets in customers' hands than completing a minimum of one marketing task per day. My favorite marketing product is the handwritten note. Because so many people don't take time to write, I believe it will stand out no matter which season or occasion it's sent.

A small theater in my neighborhood is always in need of items of high perceived value to raffle off. When I donate an impressive gift basket or series of them it will help the theater tremendously and give me visibility as well.
