She had her father make a barrow that would hold enough luggage to charge a pretty penny while helping out the tired tourists at the same time. Hence, her first niche market was established! Her entrepreneurship continued and before she was sixteen she bought and ran her own car and motor bike! In her mid twenties she discovered that she had an IQ of a genius level.

Branding
Well I Have My Logo Is That All?
Well not really, branding is far more than just a logo. Your brand is how a potential customer recognizes your company and understands what you can provide them with. It starts with your brand story and encompasses the types of emotions that the client recognizes about the company. Then comes a USP and then finally how the company projects itself to the marketplace. So, a lot more than a simple logo.
A brand is so much more, it encompasses an image and a color certainly, but it could also be a concept that is remembered, maybe a figurehead or even an animal. It covers the packaging, a mascot a tag line, marketing message, maybe an advert that became very popular. Ask anyone in the UK what their favorite advert was and many will say the gorilla playing the drums in the likes of Phil Collins. If you do not know the advert look it up on YouTube and you will see why it became instantly both popular and memorable. Ikea in particular have off beat and often humorous adverts that are part of their branding. Again a quick look on YouTube will find some very funny adverts all so Ikea. While there look for the Meercat that demonstrates how mispronouncing Compare the Market by saying Compare the Meercat led to many years of instantly recognizable branding.
I also said that colors can be part of branding and most large companies have their own bespoke colors that they trademark. Think of easyject and the frankly awful jarring orange that is instantly recognizable.
Branding can also include the culture of the company. Amazon and their fast delivery and superb customer service. Google with their mission statement Don’t be evil
. Apple always being technological leaders with beautiful designs. What about the way that a company behaves? The Microsoft Gates family giving aways billions to charity for example and
