Let’s make it clear what branding is. The term “brand” may refer not only to a company or particular goods. Brand is a trademark and all associations with this trademark.

There are two main constituents of a brand:

• The brand itself – a trademark, its position, logo, etc.

• Image of a brand – recognition, associations, clients’ comments.

There are three stages in client’s perception of a brand:

1. Awareness (I know about this brand);

2. Loyalty ( I like this brand);

3. Commitment (I buy goods/services only of this brand).

Branding is a long-lasting and stable method of sales increasing. Correct operating allows you to have reasonable profit without millions of investments.
