Branding is an important concept in marketing. Generally people identify branding with advertisements, logos, corporate standards etc. Branding actually goes far beyond the visual aspects that we see. A Brand is the identity of the company.

Brand image is basically the market's perception of the company. Various factors shape this perception. They include:
- Quality: The quality of the product or service the business provides plays and important role in shaping its brand image. No matter how the business tries to position itself, if the quality of its services or products is not up to the mark, its brand image will take a beating.

Realtors are beginning to use high definition video as part of their marketing portfolio.
ReplyDeleteThe typical flat or static web site is skimmed quickly without much regard to the realtor trying to get their brand implanted into the memory of their audience.
