There is no greater task in marketing a small business than determining a solid brand strategy for an existing company. Rebranding is much more difficult than branding a new venture. The first time around, you have the luxury of a blank slate; there is no heritage or equity in the market to risk betraying, no clients or vendor partners to risk alienating, no closet full of business cards, brochures and promotional pieces to risk wasting.

For these reasons and more, rebranding — or even refreshing an existing brand — tends to be a very delicate project and needs to be handled carefully to ensure that the project is successful and that the new brand objectives are met.

Brand Strategy
Brand strategy is best defined as a plan for the systematic development of a brand to enable it to meet its agreed objectives. The strategy should be derived from the brand's vision and driven by the principles of differentiation and sustained consumer appeal. The brand strategy should influence the total operation of a business to ensure consistent brand behaviors and brand experiences.
