Whether you are selling services, electronic downloads, or shippable goods, the principles of product branding are worthy of your consideration. Any product must be seen, and make a favorable first impression. Product branding takes your creation and makes it a memorable to your clients.
Marketing campaigns, including product branding, is big business these days. The competition is tough in just about every market. Because of this we have to keep our focus, do our homework, find our niche, and protect our creations. You need to start with product branding to make those memorable impressions.
Some say that coming up with that new invention or that next great product is the hard part, but that step is only the beginning, and can be easy compared to the task of finding a good name, something that is catchy and memorable. We work hard to build our business, and we want to maximize our rewards. Good product branding will help you find that success you seek.
This is where branding and protection of our "good name" comes into play. The last think you want is for someone else to start up their campaign with your idea. Even worse, you don't want to find someone else taking your start up campaign and stepping right over your start-up name with their corporate funding and clout.
There are many directions you can take in product branding. You may have a new, unique product that you want to test and want to isolate this new product from your other established products. Usually products are grouped together through family branding so you can use the success of your other products as a first step selling point for your new product campaign.
Another approach to product branding is called co-branding. This is the teaming of two companies to form a new venture. One example of co-branding is Visa and MasterCard. This concept works well to present a better product to both existing markets as well as attract new markets through the established names of each participant.
It's worth your time to research the laws in your state and apply for a trademark. You may want to consider a federal trademark as well. It's easy to do, and the cost is little when compared to the time and energy you've placed in developing your potential money-maker.
So now we see how important product branding is in your product development cycle. Being seen adds up to making sales, and a recognizable, memorable name can be your ticket to product marketing success.
