Branding: Every Business Needs a Good Brand

A good brand will distinguish your company from its competitors, attract customers, and improve sales. In this seminar, you will receive an overview on the elements of a good brand, how to create and promote your brand, how to increase the impact of your brand, and when it is appropriate to consider changing or updating your brand. This is an introductory branding seminar intended for those starting a business as well as for existing business owners needing a good brand. Elements of a good brand include: name, matching domain name, logo, tagline, brand story, brand promise, elevator pitch, company culture, right pricing strategy, brand font and colors that work together to “attract” new customers and “retain” existing customers. With this seminar, you will get a checklist to guide you in creating your new brand or evaluate your existing brand.
This webinar may be converted into an in-person seminar, pursuant to state recommendations. Attendees will be notified by email if the class type is changed.

Hey Asheville women! Are you a coder, a developer, a designer, an architect of information? This is a group for Asheville women in tech who want a collaborative and supportive space to bring projects to workshops, participate in tutorials facilitated by other members, spark new ideas, write practice code, and develop cool stuff. Maybe (like me) you’re just getting started, and you wish you could bounce ideas off someone, or just ask them how to center that block of text on the page? You should come! We’ll work it out together. Or maybe you’re a veteran web developer who thinks rookies are brave (possibly foolish) souls with no idea what they’re getting into? Please come tell us all the things you wish someone had told you! Let’s skill-share, meet other women in the biz, learn new things, and give each other a leg up!
We’re on Slack!
