5 reasons why you should build your own brand (byobrand)

5 reasons why you should build your own brand (byobrand)

First let’s talk about the definition of, “BRAND”
I do not want reinvent the wheel, therefor, I am sharing a brand definition from a top marketer, Seth Godin. His version is, “A brand is the set of expectations, memories, stories and relationships that, taken together, account for a consumer’s decision to choose one product or service over another.
If the consumer (whether it’s a business, a buyer, a voter or a donor) doesn’t pay a premium, make a selection or spread the word, then no brand value exists for that consumer.” 
That sums it all right? Right!

5 reasons why building your own brand (byobrand) is so important in today’s market

  • Manufacturersare now selling direct to consumer rather then using a wholesaler and has cut the middleman out (the Internet is the new middleman) therefore, selling other people’s products is not sustainable, long term.
  • A marketplacelike Amazon has taken over the distribution of branded products, so it becomes too difficult to compete.
  • Branding your ownproduct, service or self is the way of the future and the future is here. This is not a fad, it is the new way of doing business. Whether you are a retailer with a physical location or a brick and motar shop, if you don’t start branding your own you will be left behind.
  • The Internet facilitates the direct to consumer model. With very little money to invest, anyone can manufacture and distribute a product directly to its customers. What’s changed in the last 3-5 years? Smaller quantities are accessiblefor manufacturing a product. Ecommerce platformsuch as Shopify offers a quick turnkey operation for a small fee, so no need to hire a big team of coders.
  • Many manufacturers offers the private labelingconcept instead of going direct to consumer, therefore, this facilitate the startup venture.

In conclusion, I highly recommend you seek the help of a professional in this field. The Internet offers a lot of free advice but if you are pushed toward the wrong direction if can be very costly.
