I want to give a huge thank you to Mimika for taking the time to chat with us! I consider myself as much a student as the listening audience, and appreciate her sharing her extensive knowledge.

Top 3 Tips From the Interview:

1. Be aware of your signals.

People will pick up on the signals that your brand gives off. It’s much more than a logo and a website. It’s how you do business, what you stand for, how you communicate the values of your business, and what you will and will not do. Send the right signals, and you’ll attract the right customers.

2. It’s about how you make people feel.

With branding, remember that people will remember how you make them feel. Ask yourself: What do you want your brand to be? What’s your angle? Brand yourself on purpose, and choose how you want them to feel about you and your business when they interact with you.

3. Know your avatar, and focus your marketing efforts on them.

Identify your “avatar” or ideal client. Research what they like, where they hang out, how much they like to spend, and what resonates with them. This will shape who you target for marketing, and how you communicate with them.
