Mistake #1:
"Starting Marketing Without Clear Branding"

Can you market your products or services without having a brand name?
No, you can't. 

During 36 years in business, Kitsap Printing has seen the best and the worst in corporate branding when printing our customer's marketing material. This experience has led us to the decision to share our knowledge, so we are introducing Kitsap Inspire™ and Brand Builder Box™ under our umbrella company Reprospace, LLC in Poulsbo. My name is Ingemar Anderson and I am working with my assistant Cheryl Wasser and my team to develop new services that our customers have been asking us about. We are now offering branding workshops that use a new and unique cloud-based tool that captures and evaluates everything about your brand. So, we thought we would start a series of emails to share our experience and tips with you, which can help you with your branding efforts to increase your customer base.

Branding is so much more than just a logo and a website. For example, branding also covers your company slogan, how you answer your company phone, and how you present your elevator pitch. As a matter of fact, there are literally thousands of touch-points between your brand and your existing and potential customers. We help you identify, design and produce touch-points that are consistent, create awareness and that matter to you and your business.

When you have a strong brand your customer base will increase – statistically by 73%* –, and you will be able to discuss, with ease, who your target audience is or what your business or organization does, why you are in business, what your brand really promises, and so much more.

Having the right tools will help you create a powerful brand. What are you using today to capture your ideas and business information on a daily basis? How are your marketing efforts working for you today?

We offer BrandBuilderBox™ template and a Brand Audit Account – both are free and cloud-based allowing you to capture your thoughts about your brand on the go.

12 Lessons Learned From Steve Jobs

The day after Steve Jobs died, Guy Kawasaki gave a talk at the Silicon Valley Bank’s CEO Summit. After watching his speech I felt that many of his lessons really touch on doing great branding, so I  summarized these 12 lessons in this post. Experts are clueless, don't listen to them if you want to create a new product sub-category. You cannot ask customers what they want if you plan to develop a new sub-category. They will think status quo and just try to improve the existing products marginally.  The biggest challenge will win. Challenge your team to make big jumps, they will pay off.  Design truly counts, use big graphics and big fonts. Jump curves from one product cycle to another and don't follow one to the end. His motto is Change or Die.  It is important to make big inventions – make products not twice as good but 10 times better. Think telegraph to telephone.  All that really matters is if it works or not. Real entrepreneurs don't compete on price. (Price v

Top Ten Branding Mistakes – Series #2 of 10 – Mistake #2: "Assuming creating a cool logo is enough"

Top   Ten   Branding   Mistakes  – Series #2 of 10 – Mistake #2 "Assuming creating a cool logo is enough" Everything your customer sees tells a story. Branding  touches everything you say, do, and ... not do. Good Morning, First of all, I need to apologize to you. Many of the recipients of my last email might have received an email starting with the greeting: "Hi there at, <company name>”. My intention was to fill in your company name but I mixed up the fields, so some only received “Hi there at,”. Such a greeting is certainly not only a turn-off but also bad  branding . So, this is the unplanned  branding  mistake #1 and 1/2:  make sure you build a complete lead and customer list, test every  branding  touch-point you create and make sure it looks and feels right . Again, I am sorry for my mistake. Now, I am working on our database that has over 1,000 customer records to complete the contact information. Until this is completed thi

What is Deep Branding?

Do you want to know what's hidden deep down in your brand? Deep Branding is when you look carefully at both sides of your brand: Inside your business: dive deep into your own business vision, mission, and values. Outside of your business: look every possible touchpoint between your company and your potential audience.  Deep Branding is a relatively new term that describes activities performed by company owners, managers or third-parties that plan to look at more than just their logo and their website when branding a company, product or service. We have developed Brand Builder Box™ to provide a platform that allows deep branding. Our online-platform enables to run and document brand workshops and audits.
