The First 90 Days: Building Your Brand
You’re a legend. You created shoes that fit on either foot. You’ve built a business around it, you already have buy-in from your friends and all their friends (Obviously! Who wouldn’t invest in ambipedal shoes??). You even picked out a killer name; but your personal network isn’t enough to get Yes, The Shoe Fits. Wear It. off the ground
You need to build your brand. And it’s going to take more than a cool social media presence (but that certainly helps). A brand allows you to communicate with your audience and it takes a lot of work to create something that your target audience both recognizes and trusts.
A good brand is all about consistency. That includes visuals, messaging, voice, and a marketing plan to put all of the above on display.
