Brand
A brand is NOT a color palette, type face or company name
A brand is what people buy:
It is an asset with equity
![Page 8: Cafa Don T Market](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061217/54b407934a7959d81e8b45a2/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

The value of a strong brand
Clearer focus = more qualified clients
Greater trust
Deeper loyalty
Higher margins
Higher success rate with new product/service offerings
Greater value (both for consumer and for investor/buyer)

Value proposition
A statement that defines how a business proposes
to use its resources to deliver superior value to its customers
Why it is of value to this specific audience
How it differs from what is offered by any competitor
What you offer (it’s not about products, it’s about emotion)
![Page 10: Cafa Don T Market](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061217/54b407934a7959d81e8b45a2/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

of your life.

Messaging
Messaging does not come from conjuring something new.
![Page 12: Cafa Don T Market](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061217/54b407934a7959d81e8b45a2/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Messaging comes from what you already know
WHO: Everything you know about your customers, industry, competitors
WHAT: Everything you know about your products, people, company
WHY NOW: Why is this product/solution possible now?
HOW LIFE CHANGES: What now becomes possible?
![Page 13: Cafa Don T Market](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061217/54b407934a7959d81e8b45a2/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
