How to Make Your Brand Stand Out In a Noisy Marketplace with Michael Keplinger

Evolution of Brand

Top 3 Takeaways From This Value-Packed Conversation:

• The Internet has shifted how we shop for seemingly everything today. However, the brands that are standing out and building strong loyalty are the ones who have built the same type of memorable customer experience in both online and in-person environments
• Don't hold your ideas too tightly because most of them aren't original. And a lot of new innovative ideas are mashups of existing products or services with a new spin
• Differentiation is a big part of building your brand, but you also need to focus your attention on your core speciality and not get impacted by "fear of missing out," or FOMO. You may have skills and knowledge that can bring value to another segment of your market, but trying to branch out and serve too many masters will divide your attention and cause a lack of focus where it truly needs to be
