Personal branding is something that people in the business world are straddling the fence about. Some believe it will work and some believe it will not.However, personal branding is what some businesses will use to show potential clients what his or her business is all about. Personal branding is something that will set your business apart from others. Some believe branding can be helpful with the success of your business and some believe a business is taking it too far by branding their products and services.The question is, will branding your products and services lead to sells of your products and better communication in the business world? When a company decides to brand their products and services they do it because they want everyone to know they believe they can do the service better than others and they have a higher quality product than others.People do not realize it, but they are branding themselves by the way they dress, the way they treat people, the way they communicate, and even by the way they drive. The use of social media has made personal branding become more popular than ever before.If a person works hard, shows up to work every day, is never late, and has a degree why would they need any type of branding? Take for an example, a technical support agent could just be a voice over the phone, but when that person helps you and treats you like a person and not a number, he or she is being very helpful. Do they need branding? Actually, they do not, they just have good people skills get paid for it. This person may very well get a raise or promotion for going that extra mile for their company.Branding is a form of identity for you company. A brand will identify your products and services to the public. The branding can be about you, the owner, or about the products and services, or about both. Branding is all about communication. The way to decide on what type of personal branding you would like is to sit down and write down what makes your products and services better than your competitors. What does your company offer that no other company does? Is your company a hand on type of company or is it all automated and less personal contact?Networking, marketing, and communication are the next step to take after deciding what your company is all about. Create a blog for your brand and stick with it. Consistency is the key in the business world today.Whether you decide to brand your products and services or just go by word of mouth carefully chose what you want said about your business and how you want to present your business to the public. Make sure the brand is not vulgar and is not copy righted by any other business. That first impression is what can make or break a company.

When someone offers something for FREE, there are lots of things that happen… most of which end up destroying your brand. But for those that take a different approach, there is tremendous opportunity to capture a much bigger market and solidify your BRAND.To start, it’s important to understand the difference between building “Brand Awareness” and “Solidifying your Brand” when it comes to establishing a Brand Strategy. Often times I see these two becoming comingled which can end up leading to “Brand Erosion” for a business. Seeing this doesn’t happen is one of the key responsibilities of a leader (CEO or Business Owner)… not the responsibility of marketing or sales or any other silo inside your organization.Building “Brand Awareness” is about introducing new people (potential customers) to your brand… allowing them to see that you exist in the marketplace. It is an attraction strategy… one filled with education and excitement for a potential customer. It is about sharing with them something within your business that can help them improve their lives (or business) they didn’t know about before. It’s getting the word out to an audience you know you can help. It is NOT about FREE.To me, FREE is a “lazy marketing” way of building Brand Awareness. It’s easy… offer anything of value for FREE and you will attract people like a magnet. This isn’t rocket science or strategic marketing… it’s just easy and doesn’t take a lot of expertise. Do we really need a marketing department to do this for us?There are 5 key issues with offering FREE that can ultimately result in BRAND EROSION…

It does not guarantee any further purchases… just because someone checks you out on one of your free offers doesn’t mean they will ever come back and pay for your products in the future. The hope of every marketer is for the customer to see such an incredible product or experience they will want to come back and spend their money… most customers don’t. Unless your experience rocks their world and is something they will want more of, products usually don’t bring them back… they can find similar products at a lower price somewhere else. This is the commodity world of today where customers can find as good or better products at lower prices.

It’s giving away margin/profitability which impacts other areas and products… your product or service wasn’t free for you to create or acquire so anything above free means you are giving away valuable margin and profitability. When you do this, you have to “cover it” by either increasing prices on other products/services or lower the margins on your top products/services. Both of these are bad ideas from the standpoint of both the economics of your business and your Brand. And the customer keeps on expecting this over and over again… continually lowering profitability over time.

It attracts “bottom feeders” to your business, not your desired customers… the majority of time Free does not attract your desired “Customer Personas”… the ones you really want to get more of… it attracts those simply looking for cheap/FREE deals. This can become a HUGE PROBLEM for your Brand when you consider the ramifications. If you attract the “wrong customer personas” by offering free stuff, then your “desired customer personas” will start to assume they aren’t the type of customers your business is trying to serve since you are catering (targeting) to these other personas. This has a “double negative” implication because you end up with more of the wrong personas while losing more of the desired personas. This ultimately can CHANGE YOUR BRAND from what you want to something you don’t want very quickly. Many businesses end up in this situation and never have a clue how they got there. This is one of the prime reasons businesses end up having a lot of the wrong personas as the majority of their customer base.

It tells your customers who paid for something else they were ripped off… if you were a customer of a business that was offering FREE offers to others (not you) it would make you feel like you were either not important or being taken advantage of by the company. It sends a loud and clear message to your existing customers that they are funding the free customers because they are the ones paying. This never ends well. The best customers wonder why this is the case and get more and more upset when they see others getting free offers and they keep paying premium pricing. Banks are experts at this “bait and switch” strategy of luring you in with free and then charging you a fortune in fees while they continue to offer FREE to the “new customers only” instead of the ones they have already acquired. This is a great strategy if you want to turn your business into a commodity and competing on price… but very damaging to your brand strategy.

It lowers your brand value in the mind of potential (desirable) customers… similar to number 4 above, offering FREE sends a very clear message to your potential “desirable” customers that this may not be the right business for them to buy from because you cater to a different audience with your free offers. It has ramifications in your products, services, and customer experiences. Here’s a simple example… you sell purses that cost $500 and you offer smaller purses for free to new customers… with the intent to attract more customers. When your potential (desirable) customers see this, they immediately feel the value of the brand has been lowered and that your purse really isn’t worth the $500 they would have paid for it so they move to another brand with higher brand value. You end up attracting more of the lower end customers and never attracting the higher end desirable customers.
There are other impacts of FREE… these are ones I feel are the most detrimental to a BRAND and to your BUSINESS. But here’s the OPPORTUNITY for those who understand this and decide NOT TO PLAY in the business game of FREE. To start, simply do EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE of the 5 issues I listed above… go in a different direction and DON’T OFFER FREE. Tell marketing they are being lazy. Ask them to be creative and innovative in “telling your story” and targeted to your “desired personas”. Let your potential and existing customers know without a doubt how you can help make their lives/businesses better by using your products and services.Your leadership team should agree to offer only top products and services for your desired personas AND make a commitment to create a CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE that is incredibly amazing and will unquestionably demonstrate you are OBSESSED OVER YOUR DESIRED CUSTOMERS. If leadership commits to making this happen, you will not only keep the desired customer personas you have but start to attract others who are just like them… desirable new customers.This strategy will help you to start weeding out the non-desirable customers you have picked up along the way since they will start seeing what you offer (products, services, and customer experience) really isn’t for them and they should move on to another business… hopefully your competitors. Let your competitors deal with these less desirable customer personas while you attract more of the right customer personas.When leadership (CEO or Business Owner) creates this BRAND STRATEGY and directs marketing (and other groups) to find creative and innovative ways to deliver and communicate this message, you can be back in control of the brand you desire instead of one that is dictated by your non-desirable audience. This allows you to change the game, set yourself apart, and be differentiated in your customer’s eyes. This is a BRAND STRATEGY that STOPS BRAND EROSION and allows you to BUILD THE BRAND YOU WANT.

The last time I went out to eat I ordered a vodka tonic before dinner. The waitress asked if I had a vodka preference. Having been through this many times before I told her that bottom shelf vodka was just fine. She explained that most customers preferred Grey Goose and “if that’s out of your price range, Absolut has a citrus infused edition that goes perfectly with tonic.” Why was she dropping names? I wanted to be vodka infused not brand infused. Why would I care about Grey Goose or Absolut? To put it simply, branding matters.Grey Goose and Absolut have spent millions to define and establish themselves as premium brands. Branding matters because it has a direct effect on the price you can charge for an item. Kirkland Signature Vodka at Costco costs $29.99 while the same bottle of Grey Goose retails for $49.99. Both are five-times distilled, made with 100% French wheat and use pure artesian spring water from the Massif Mountains. By most accounts the two drinks are identical. One costs 66% more than the other because one represents a premium brand.Anyone starting a small business or working at a startup needs to think about what their business brand represents. The essence of your brand will determine your target consumer, your pricing, your packaging, your aesthetic and your culture. In other words, branding is everything. It will provide you with direction and guidance as you work to establish your business.Think about a white t-shirt. If that t-shirt doesn’t represent a brand you can purchase three of them for $12. If that t-shirt says SeanJohn on it or displays the Polo logo you can expect to pay anywhere from $25 to $45 for the same white t-shirt. All small businesses don’t have to establish themselves as premium brands but all businesses do have to establish a brand in order to be relevant.Branding is directly related to Search Engine Optimization (SEO) as it will affect the content as well as the design of your Web site. The keywords you choose to emphasize will also be reflective of your brand as they need to relate to your target consumer. If your business specializes in high-end baby strollers, you’ll want to make sure your Web site is optimized for searches like “luxury baby strollers” or “high-end strollers.”If your brand is a local one, optimizing your Web site with Geo Tags and registering it with Google Maps is also helpful in boosting Web traffic. Quite a few established brands are local in nature and cater to a very specific regional or cultural market. Excellent examples of this would include Mardi Gras King Cakes, which are popular in Louisiana and cheese curds which could only be popular in Wisconsin.Before you start any business consider the essence of the brand you want to establish and build your marketing plan around that brand. Everything will fall into place more easily if you know what your business stands for and who your target customers are. Being flexible in this regard is not a bad idea either since you learn more about what works as you grow in the marketplace.I ended up going with the citrus infused Absolut for my vodka tonic. I’ve always loved the Absolut bottle ads.

Interior design, business brand and your fashion statement – what do they all have in common? The answer to that question is simple, You! You have a unique style. You have a unique coloring. You have a unique fashion statement. I believe as we slow down and reflect we realize we need to stop following the crowd and dare to be individual. How do you determine your style and especially how do you reflect that in your surroundings, in your business life and your fashion statement? This is a very big subject, but let’s take a glimpse at some possible ways to determine your unique style.

Your interior design is your own interior expression. Dare to be individual. Dare to use unique items that you love and that attracts attention because they are special and speak of you. Where did you get that? Think out of the box, just like you do with your fashion statements. There is only one you on this planet and where you live, work and play should look like you, even when you are not there. Your items should tell a story about you, what you like, what your hobbies are, what colors you love and much more. Do not just put ordinary furnishings or accessories, because you are not ordinary! Find extraordinary just like you.

Makeup colors can be wonderful for color schemes. This may not be what everybody wants for their color scheme, but these colors just may be perfect for some. There are some beautiful makeup colors, so why not convert them to soft dusty peach walls, smokey powder room walls or whatever you love. Brown, black or gray as an accent color can be dramatic in your scheme. White wood frames and trim (like your teeth) are a wonderful accent to make the colors really stand out Perhaps you can use shiny fabrics like your lip gloss for accent throw pillows or metallic glimmer paints on your walls. The possibilities are endless, have fun thinking about your interior color scheme in a new way.

Closets are treasure troves of great things you like to surround yourself with. Are you into shiny fabrics or dull. Do you like solids or prints? What are your shoe colors? Do you like white or creams? Pick 3-5 of your very favorite colors, that you not just like to wear, but love and make you look great. These are definite possibilities for your color scheme.

Your business brand can again reflect your color scheme, your style, likes and dislikes. From your business cards, office space, and even the car you drive to work or appointments. It can all go fantastically together and make a personal unique statement.

Everything that you put into your design should have meaning and tell a story, a story about you. This makes finding the items a little harder, but slow down, be patient and find treasures you love. Do not just fill your spaces with just anything. Make sure it matters, excites and brings joy to you.

Presenters are mainly of two types.

A worker shortage might be excellent news for the economy! Maybe, just maybe, firms will awake and see workers’ substantial contribution to their success. Some CEOs take unconscionable sums and destroy their firm’s value, unlike many frontline workers who create value. During the pandemic, CEOs took vast sums as they laid-off workers. Some firms sought bankruptcy protection, but hat didn’t stop their greedy CEOs from snatching hefty bonuses.

We have a worker shortage and firms are scrambling to hire whomever is willing. Some firms, like McDonalds have paid signing bonuses. Canada’s Loblaw and its competitors paid a bonus to frontline workers when the pandemic began. They stopped it after three months in unison with their competitors. When government confronted them about this collusion, they claimed it happened independently. Go figure! It’s like you caught your three-year-old with her hand in the cookie jar and she said, Mom, “Cookie Monster did it!”

Worker Shortage Inevitable With Shoddy Treatment

Loblaw’s behavior disturbs me. During the bonus period, profits soared. Per se, that’s no problem. I favor firms making profits. To be sure, I am against government taxing profits. But paying workers the bonus during the pandemic shouldn’t hinge on profits. It was just right. Meanwhile, my wife and I shopped at a Loblaw store and workers continued their excellent service despite Loblaw’s slight.

Leaders must realize frontline workers are the firm’s foundation and treat them well, not as cogs turning out CEOs bonuses! When employers treat workers like machines, they disengage. Gallup said, over several decades, they and other researchers found a strong link between employees’ workplace engagement and the company’s overall performance. Yet employers refuse to accept this. But there is good news: surveys show some firms break the mold and treat workers with respect: Cisco, Apple, Accenture, IBM, FedEx are a few.

Next Quarter’s Earnings Drives Businesses

Companies see next quarter as the prize, so they exploit workers and fudge next quarter’s numbers. I repeat: I am against government taxing business. However, I favor the Biden Build Back Better provision to tax share buybacks that the House passed, and it is before the Senate, even if it might have only a modest effect on share buybacks. Companies shouldn’t be spending billions buying back shares while exploiting workers.

Firms should present to shareholder meetings options to use buyback funds. Choices might include effects of paying bonuses to frontline workers with buyback funds. Shareholders should hear about potential strategic investments, too. Another option is stopping buy-backs for five years after layoffs. Executives, too, shouldn’t get bonuses within five years of layoffs. We must get rid of worker exploitation that enhances CEO bonuses.

Restaurants need to encompass considerable marketing avenues for the sake of success. Without publicity and marketing, there are chances that the restaurant may not survive in the market. But with thorough planning and enactment, the restaurant’s promotion can grab the customer’s attention just like that.

The restaurant business is quite tough. It is difficult for the owners to flourish in this thrift and with very low profits. Restaurant owners are enthusiastic about food because not much profit is left after paying all the mandatory expenses like produce, wages, upkeep, and maintenance. Better so than eternally, restaurants publicity and marketing are necessary.

Some restaurant owners thoroughly expand their profit margin by contracting their business prototype and resemblance to others, assembling a franchise, spreading their reputation, and cultivating a future passive income. While others choose to concentrate on their flagship eatery, trusting that quality over quality is vital for drumming up future business.

Smart advertising encourages the restaurant owner to create a good reputation in the market and reach customers who might not even have heard about the restaurants near them. It also promotes the restaurants with discounts, offers, special occasions, and new items to the menu.

For marketing purposes, the best way is social media. Whether people are seeking someplace to dine in safely or looking for the best takeaway service, they turn on the social media app. The more the traffic drives to your specific website or page, the more you will succeed in this business.

What the advertising brings to the restaurants

It helps to target customers, as if the customers like the taste of the food at a specific restaurant, they will start recommending that place to their colleagues and friends. Advertising helps target particular types of customers and proves to be more effective.
Advertising certainly helps to stay competitive in the business. The competitors will be advertising their specific establishment to the customers. They will assume that the establishment has lacked publicity, is less thriving, and offers less than the other competitors.
Publicity and advertisement are thoroughly an investment. If the restaurant owner is investing wisely, they will surely profit from that. But the amount to be spent on publicity depends upon the area and type of restaurant. Usually, casual and family-specific restaurants do not spend more on advertising, while fine-dining restaurants spend more because they must create a lavish image.
Publicizing can certainly help to develop crucial aspects of the restaurant’s reputation. Advertising fetches the customers by creating the business’s reputation in the community.
Hiring a marketing agency can reduce almost all of the burden regarding advertisement. A good social media marketing agency can maintain whatsoever the name’s niche and aesthetics through social media. Great brand recognition can lead to more followers, leading to more traffic to the site and a boost in orders.

With the passage of time, there has been continuous development in the world of solar energy, nuclear power, smart grid, electric vehicles, rail transportation, aerospace, aviation, and navigation. Therefore, this trend has increased requirements for power equipment performance. These days, the first generation of silicon materials is about to hit the theoretical limit that was originally determined. The third generation features a wider bandwidth, electron saturation, and thermal conductivity. In this article, we are going to talk about a new type of material called silicon carbide ceramics. And we will specifically discuss the applications of silicon carbide ceramics in different industries. Read on to find out more.

As far as potential is concerned, silicon carbide ceramic is the most mature choice. As a matter of fact, many of its indicators are much better than silicon. For example, it has a 300% higher bandwidth. Apart from this, the theoretical operational temperature of this material is 600 Celsius. Now, let’s talk about the different uses of this material.

Electric Vehicles

Since these modules can have a sustainable, intelligent, low carbon, and green development, we can say that the advantages of this material are primarily reflected in the following three aspects.

1. Simplification of the power supply Network and boosting the frequency

2. Increasing the temperature and reducing losses

3. Improving efficiency and reducing the volume

As far as power conversion is concerned, components made of silicon carbide cal can help improve performance. In electric models, the active load-bearing component is the electric motor. These motors have different rotational speeds. Therefore, these motors require repeated acceleration and acceleration during the process of driving. Therefore, the working condition is more complex compared to the speed regulating system.

Transmission Systems

If you have a silicon-based device, your best choice is are switch made from silicon carbide. This is because this material has an extremely low resistance. Therefore, it is an ideal choice for applications where high frequency and temperature are involved.

The thing is that this material can reduce the loss of power by up to five hundred percent. Moreover, it is possible to reduce weight and size by over 40%. Therefore, it can help have a positive impact on the grid configuration and adjustment of energy strategy.

Solar Energy Field

If you are looking for advice that can be used in solar inverters, silicon carbide is an ideal choice. It comes with a small size, reduced costs, and much higher efficiency. Typically, the conversion efficiency of these inverters is around 96%. But if silicon carbide is used, it is possible to increase the efficiency to 97.5%. In other words, these devices can help produce power losses by 25%. Apart from this, these inverters can help boost conversion efficiency significantly.

LED Lighting

These days, the popularity of LED devices that use silicon carbide is on the rise. The thing is that these LEDs are much brighter and can reduce the cost by up to 50%. They are 200% brighter than other types of lights.

Similarly, they have 10 times more thermal conductivity. In routine life, you can apply this type of lighting for different types of environments, such as color display devices, information screens, indoor lighting, and signal lights. The thing is that they can help reduce pollution and cost.
