Brands, what would the world be without them?

Brands, what would  the world be without them?

What is a brand? Or maybe we should ask ourselves how do we distinguish one company from the other? If you are to buy a car, which one would you buy? And how do you choose from this car from the other one, we have so many options nowadays.

But brands not only entitle one logo and colors, symbols, a good brand makes a company’s experience just pop in your mind when you see the distinctive sings. I am not going to tell you about the history of it or give you a deep definition of it either.

Some people distinguish the psychological aspect, brand associations like thoughts, feelings, perceptions, images, experiences, beliefs, attitudes, and so on that become linked to the brand, of a brand from the experiential aspect.

Just imagine, all these huge corporations began as a small idea, then somebody started it,  and with the year they became huge businesses lik we all know them by now.

Since you are well aware that I am more interested on sharing my personal experiences and thoughts about my anything I talk about, I would like to share with you at the closing of this year a few good brands that I got to know well this year. Most of them are my accounting clients and I would like to share with you their success experiences from my point of view.

Don't be so surprised some day maybe in 10 or 20 more years when these people and businesses that I describein the lines below are as big as the ones described at the united we stad brand flag.

Aleili Centeno – Aleili is a wonderful  girl, she is the personification of what I always encourage people to , which is have a full time job and start your own business on the side and keep it this way until your business picks up and just take it from there. Aleili’s brand is Aleili’s design; Aleili is a full time pharmacist that always has the interest of jewelry design. Aleili decided to start designing her own jewelry and some purses as well, I have seen her designs and let me tell you and I am very impressed.
