How to #brand your #Dispensary. #Branding defined.

You might be wondering - how the heck do I "brand" my business, when I don't even know what  "branding" is.
Well, let's work backwards....
    Who do you want to be?
    How do you demonstrate who you are to your customers?
    How are you going to communicate who you are? 

OK, just roll with me here... Branding is more about a long-term ever-evolving "brand strategy".
A great logo is essential, but "branding" is action.

To brand, is to make a mark. Branding is active. Thus, the act of branding requires deliberate action. You control how the public perceives you. How you look, act, feel and deliver contributes to the act of branding your company.

So, the big question is... What do you stand for and what is your mission?
And, what is your strategy for building your brand?

Your brand is the mark you make in peoples minds.
If you aren't memorable, your brand is not effective.

According to Entreprenuer.com, once you've defined your brand - here's how to get the word out.
    Get a Great Logo
    Write down your brand messaging
    Integrate your brand
    Create a "voice" for your company that reflects your brand
    Develop a tagline
    Design templates and brand standards for marketing materials
    Be true to your brand
    Be consistent
