Brands are a way to make money. If your brand doesn't help you earn money, you must get rid of it or change the brand's essence.
You are in business and so should your brand be. A brand must go beyond the mere fact of being some promise on paper. It must be a promise
in the heads of all stakeholders and moreover, it must deliver that promise.
Building your business on a strong brand means making money with products and services
that keep up with your brand. Not the other way 'round. It is the best way to stay in business on the short and the long term.
