It&#8217;s a question that has confounded the academics for decades and eluded the most erudite of scholars. So, coming from the trenches of the real world of branding, we&#8217;ve defined the term and given it a comprehensive meaning..<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"img493\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium sq_image\" title=\"branding\" src=\"https:\/\/ask8.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/How-to-Build-a-Brand-Part-1-Branding-and-Design2_tinoshare.com_.jpg\" alt=\"branding\" width=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>A brand consists of eight basic building blocks:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; The Name<br \/>\n&#8211; The Logo (brand icon)<br \/>\n&#8211; The Brand&#8217;s Colors<br \/>\n&#8211; The Slogan and Brand Messaging<br \/>\n&#8211; The Sound of the Brand<br \/>\n&#8211; The Overall Look and Feel = The Brand&#8217;s Position<br \/>\n&#8211; Packaging the Brand<br \/>\n&#8211; The Brand Experience<\/p>\n<p>A Brand is the greater sum of its parts. It is always more than just the nuts and bolts, the pieces; great brands are always the result of the whole equaling more than the sum of its parts.<\/p>\n<p>Branding is about making me, the consumer or buyer, more hip, more in the &#8220;know,&#8221; more cool than anybody else. We are a generation and a nation wanting to be special. We want to be richer, more beautiful, better dressed and more effortlessly gorgeous than any other generation that we know.<\/p>\n<p>We want everything to mean more. We want everything to have meaning. That&#8217;s why we flock to the reality shows. Why we love &#8220;The Apprentice&#8221; and &#8220;American Idol&#8221; and other top realistic shows. We crave authenticity in this age of fabrication and falsehood. We &#8220;just want to be real.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>We want to be able to trust what we buy and whom we buy from. That&#8217;s why Coke is still the number one brand in the world. The more we know about a brand, the more we trust it. The more we trust it, the more we buy it and continue to experience it. The more we experience it, the more loyal we become.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong>Loyalty is the currency that cannot be traded for dollars.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>If you\u2019re looking to gain new customers, save money <\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>reach a larger target audience,<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>NOW is the TIME to get STARTED<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ask8.com\/social-media-optimization-branding\/\"><strong>CONTACT US TODAY!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Get a FREE Consultation <\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Join our FB Group :<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/ask8now\/\">Ask8 About Digital Marketing<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>or CALL 516-699-ask8 (2758)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>#Ask8now &#8211; The #Loyalty Factor Coming from the trenches of the real world of #branding we&#8217;ve defined the term and gave it a comprehensive meaning..
