Jon Meijer - Dry Cleaning & Laundry Institute - Branding...is it necessary?
There are consequences for not knowing who your customers are and most small businesses fail to market their products and services effectively.
Whether a business has an active brand or not, it is the consumer that drives the brand. The reason consumers come to patronize any given business is based on things they like or believe about that business.  Keying in on consumers’ expectations and why they patronize your business, makes it easier to be more efficient and effective when you market products and services.
