2. Why branding
• Companies and organizations worldwide
expend enormous resources on building
their product's brand. They know that a
sound brand adds value to their existence,
stimulates loyalty, attracts great
employees, and enhances profits.
20. A brand is the summation of all perceptions,
experiences and beliefs associated with a
product, services or entity that make it
distinct. In its active form it is the process of
forming this distinction. Branding
communicates a set of values and promises
to customers. When a brand delivers on
those promises, trust is created and a
relationship based on shared experience
and loyalty ensues.

beliefs that are visibly expressed by what you
say, what you do, and how you do it.
