By Erwin Brem (Sarina Russo Entrepreneurs Business Coach)
There's no doubt that anything can sell, but make it easier to be seen and remembered, and it's simple. But if it can't be seen, good luck.
Basic things like a website and social media that can be easily searched for and found, regular posts and updates, not just once every couple of months. Branding in signage, uniforms, and connecting through networking and quality follow-up, all make the process to build successful businesses uncomplicated.
Building something like a recognised logo into your brand like Nike's swoosh, Starbucks' nautical siren, and the Qantas' kangaroo, takes time, but it can be done, most businesses just don't do it, simply because they're not building the profile in the first place, and most doesn't require spending a small fortune either.
Start by just getting your brand, message and logo seen, heard and remembered. If prospective customers can at least see you, it's a start, if they can't, they go elsewhere, to who they can see. Try it, it works!
