If you have just set up a business, such as a dental office, you will have to devote significant time and resources to marketing to potential patients. Small business branding has to do with several aspects, chief among them brand recognition and credibility. Here are some online branding strategies worth considering. Sell a message If you try to push a hard sell through website content, potential customers may deem your website less credible than one that offers more balanced content. Instead, push a message that will attract customers. U2 front man Bono's Product Red and the HIV/ AIDs fundraising campaign is a good example of this. By expressing support of a worthy advocacy, i.e. children’s health, consumers get the sense they are also supporting a worthy cause and consequently form a positive impression of your brand.
