The challenging thing about educating entrepreneurs about branding and marketing is that; one, they think they are consumers themselves hence they know marketing and branding. Two, they think it’s a campaign here and there and it’s done. Results are instantaneous, sales will come flooding in. Three, they don’t have a system to approach marketing and branding.
It really takes a good two to four years
to put a good plan and system in place. A system in place, it's that important that I need to stress it again. Getting your brand’s physical
availability right (distribution) and your brand’s mental availability (top of
mind awareness) into the consumer’s consciousness will take that long if you are a
start-up with reasonable cash flow. Even then, I am simplifying this into one
sentence.
You really need to take the long term
view that if you are going to be successful; taking 3-4 years to implement
the plan and put in a system is merely 10% of time of a business that you would build for the
next 30-40 years (assuming that is your long term view).
