are you a brand that sticks?

Kraft just announced its fourth logo in four years. Olive Garden spent big money changing their “When You’re Here, You’re Family” slogan to “Go Olive Garden.” Sure, sometimes necessity dictates that you give your brand a facelift, but wouldn’t it save you money, time, energy and stress to brand yourself well in the first place?
To grow beyond a one-man, one-product shop, your business should begin with a strong foundation. Business owners who commit the cardinal sin of shortsightedness in branding endanger their company’s longevity and relevance. A dated logo can cause a prospect to rethink their purchase. A limiting tagline excludes customers and restricts company growth. The lack of an online corporate presence sends prospects on the web straight into competitors’ arms.
