This document compares branding and selling a product. It defines a brand as a name, symbol or design that identifies a seller's goods or services. Branding involves getting prospects to see the seller as the only solution to their problem. Advantages of branding include clearly delivering messages, confirming credibility and motivating buyers. Selling a product focuses on the product's value, performance and personalized service. While branding relies on advertising and public relations pre-release, selling a product emphasizes collaboration, early wins with customers, customization and teamwork. In conclusion, both branding and selling a product have their advantages, though branding allows motivating buyers through emotional connections to the seller's message and credibility.

4. BRAND
The American Marketing Association
defines a brand as a "name, term, design,
symbol, or any other feature that
identifies one seller's good or service as
distinct from those of other sellers. The
legal term for brand is trademark. A
brand may identify one item, a family of
items, or all items of that seller. If used for
the firm as a whole, the preferred term is
trade name."
5. Therefore it makes sense to
understand that branding is not
about getting your target market
to choose you over the
competition, but it is about getting
your prospects to see you as the
only one that provides a solution
to their problem.
