Imagine your home service brand standing out instead of just fitting in (“blanding”). What would happen for your home service business if it had a unique and disruptive brand that people remembered when they needed service?
Written by best-selling author Dan Antonelli, the creative director and president of KickCharge Creative, this book leverages his 30-year track record of developing some of the most successful home service brands in the country. With over 2,500 brands to his credit, Dan shares his winning formula to get inside consumers’ minds and help create a brand that connects them to your home service company. When it comes to branding, home service companies have two choices: build a disruptive brand and spend less on marketing or overspend on marketing to overcome a poor brand. Most choose the latter, which creates an opportunity for your company to take market share by building a truly disruptive brand!
This is Dan’s third book, which is a must-have for small business owners and entrepreneurs struggling to develop their professional identity. Your professional logo serves as a solid foundation for your small business branding: conveying expertise, delivering a brand promise and creating an expectation for quality. In today’s cluttered marketplace, the importance of your small business branding cannot be underestimated—yet most small businesses put little time and money into developing their company’s logo and branding strategy. Drawing from his experience of working with nearly 800 small businesses on their branding, you’ll learn the keys to an effective small business branding strategy.
