      The greatest benefit of all is all the wonderful information that is shared in each of these very short video sessions.  In business it’s important to search for ways to save the budget while learning how to operate more effectively and effciently.  That is a blessing in any business Thanks Black Enterprise Presenters.

    Good news, but I don’t think I would recreate my company logo. It is hard to come up with a trade mark.

    The one social networking source that many forget about…. The one that started in all… Blogging.  Blogging is a business owner’s voice on the WWW.  Writing post to education about bath & body care, giving helpful bath & body tips, highlighting other women entrepreneurs, and sharing my personal thoughts on business has brought in a tremendous amount of business.   The ‘help mantra’.  YES, traditional selling is dead….especially on social network.

    Very informative course. It made me rethink how im marketing my business.

    Many people assume that their brand only consists of the basic colors,
    fonts, and symbols, but really, it is much more complicated than that.
    It is your companies perceived image. Your brand is a compilation of
    everything that your company does, what your employees do and how they
    act, it is the perceptions of your audience. Including, the way your
    staff answers the phone, the way you handle client / customer disputes,
    what your marketing materials say, how they are designed and many
    additional factors all impact your image. Knowing this it is also
    important to clarify that while a graphic designer can help lay the
    foundation for a brand, but they cannot make a brand on their own. When
    it comes to your image; everything you do, own or produce should exude
    the goals of your business and how you want to be perceived.
