What do you think of when you think of a business’ brand? Do you think of their messaging? Does a business’ logo, color, aesthetic style come to mind?

Creating a successful brand, brand strategy, and overall brand system can help separate you from your competition and can be what brings you more business over competitors. Branding is often times just thought of just as a business’ logo or how you conduct business. Although those are indeed part of branding, creating an entire brand strategy runs deeper and can bring more meaning to the products you create and the services you offer as a business owner.

So what actually makes a “brand”? And how can creating a brand benefit your business? Branding is something that all businesses, large and small, can consider in order to make them stand out in their current market.

In this webinar, our presenter will go over the basics of branding, what is branding, how you can integrate branding in your business, and how to evaluate the effectiveness of your current brand. He will share ideas as to what is needed in order to brand your business and how you can better convey your Why to your business, as well as where a logo fits in within your brand communication.

In Part One, we will review how to define realistic profit goals and ways to manage expenses by covering the following topics:

Budgeting for Profitability – Entrepreneurs often budget by taking last year’s sales and increasing it by a few percent, if they budget at all. This section will take the traditional Revenue – Expenses = Profit equation and turn it around to make sure you are budgeting for profit first.

Determining the Owner’s Profit – Learn how to determine how much profit you should expect your business to generate and how to make sure it actually ends up in your pocket.

Examining Operational Expenses – Entrepreneurs often pay attention to sales and little else. They expect extra sales to result in extra profit, but too often this does not happen. This section examines all categories of operational expense with a goal of significant overhead reduction.

Examining Variable Expenses – We will perform a similar analysis of variable expenses to suggest ways to reduce them and increase gross profit. We will also look at the different impacts of operational versus variable expenses and why you should take steps to move expenses from one category into the other.
