A detailed 10-page report on your product's

has to be simple. Otherwise it is difficult to
the customers to get an awaireness about the
company and its products. So it is an
important principle of product branding.

28. Consistency
Branding needs consistency . Even your
product's concept and qualities should stay
consistent over time, so that consumers don't
start feeling the brand's changing.

29. Distinctiveness
our goal in creating a brand is to
make consumers think of your product
instead of the other guy's. Successful
brands stand out: Nobody confuses a
well-branded product with anything else.

30. Creativity
You can have the best product without
having the best brand. Being the best is great,
but a colorful, imaginative symbol or
catchphrase can hook customers even if your
product is unremarkable.
