Did you know that
branding is just as important for small businesses as it is for large
corporations?
Many small business owners I talk to understand that branding is essential to their business, but a surprisingly high number of them don't really know why.
Branding is a way of defining your business to yourself, your team and your external audiences. It could be called the business’ “identity”.
The foundation of your brand is your logo. Your website, packaging and promotional materials--all of which should integrate your logo and communicate your brand.
Event marketing can be an integral part of how you can build your company’s brand and increase awareness.

So what do you need to
do?
- Get a great logo. Event marketing allows you to showcase your business logo on the event marketing materials such as email blasts, calendar postings and event fliers.
- Develop a tagline. Use event marketing to share your company’s memorable, meaningful and concise statement that captures the essence of your brand.
- Design creative marketing materials (business cards, brochures etc…). Promote your company’s marketing materials at business events. Use the same color scheme, logo placement, look and feel throughout. You don't need to be fancy, just consistent.
- Be consistent. You must be consistent with your event marketing strategies for positive results. Once is not enough to build your brand awareness.
Event marketing has allowed me to build my
network of professional connections, increased my referral base and increased
my sales.
