What’s the difference between a business and a brand?

If you feel like your small business isn’t on the same level as other businesses in your industry but you can’t really put your finger on why, it may be because you’re running a business instead of a brand.

Often the words “brand” and “business” are used interchangeably, however, these two words don’t actually mean the same thing.

Whilst a business is made up of the operations, products & services that (hopefully) generate money for you, a brand is a business that builds an emotional & psychological connection with your customers & community.

It can be really difficult to pin point the difference between the two, but a good place to start is to ask yourself what your businesses “personality” is.

If you can’t answer this question, you’re running a business not a brand!

Building a brand around your business will help you to;

  • Create an emotional connection with your potential customers and online community

  • Help customers easily identify and remember your business

  • Build trust and credibility among customers (& potential customers)

  • Differentiate yourself from competitors

  • Demonstrate the value of your products or services

  • Foster customer loyalty and positive word-of-mouth recommendations

  • Attract a community of like-minded individuals

  • Set the foundation for long-term business growth and expansion

By building a brand, you go beyond the functional aspects of a business and create a meaningful and lasting connection with your customers and community, which in turn, generates more success for your business.
