			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Think Apple, Virgin, BMW, Singapore Airlines &#8211; when we think  of these well know brands we have a number of collective thoughts which spring  to mind. These can range from person to person but one thing which remains the  same is the emotional attachment which many of us have with the brands which we  use in our lives and can be something which is personal to us.   In order for a brand to have a emotional connection with a  consumer their must be a certain element of trust. Brands work hard at coming  up with innovate and savvy ways to help the consumer build this attachment with  their brand it however does not just happpen overnight and can take some time just to get right.  People become  emotionally attached with brands for a number of reasons these can include</p>
<p>The brand stands for something which is significant to them</p>
<p>It makes them feel good</p>
<p>The brand is unique and different</p>
<p>The brand interacts with them and is intense and vibrant</p>
<p>These are only a few of the reasons why people are attached  to the brands which they use and for a brand to have an emotional connection  with the consumer this can only be achieved by positive shared experience with  the brand over time. Its worth noting that building an emotional connection  with your employees is just as important as building it with the consumer this  will ensure that the brand is achieving top performance with everyone who  interacts with it. Really great brands know how to engage with their consumers  and have through spending time found out how to build an emotional connection  and attachment with their customers this will ensure that these brands who  really spend the time and put in the hard work are more likely to achieve  stronger customer loyalty. One of the key elements is for the brand to be  trustworthy &#8211; it must show that it can consistently deliver on all of its promises this is followed sharply by always striving to meet and exceed its customers.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Branding today is more important than ever, businesses and organisations use branding to create an emotional attachment to their products and services.  Many people today still think that a brand is simply a logo or a badge for their company or business.  The brand effectively is more than just a logo used to help us remember the brand – the brand in fact is a collection of different meanings, which help create a sense of involvement, awareness and an aura of intangible qualities relating to the business, service or indeed product.      </p>
<p>
Successful branding does not just happen overnight but requires planning to build strategic awareness where people not only can identify your brand in the market place but they also understand the distinctive qualities that make it better than the competition.</p>

As a marketers for our business we need to work hard and consistently on our branding to ensure we are offering our consumers a strong brand which makes us stand out from the competitor offering clear, real value and unique benefits.  </p>
