In Branding Basics for Small Business, marketing expert Maria Ross shares real-life examples and expert interviews to show how organizations of any size can create a winning brand. Small businesses, start-ups, and nonprofits enviously watch the big guys create tribes of loyal followers. How do they do it? What can time- and resource-strapped organizations learn from them?

• Generate buzz and loyalty with the right customers, clients, or donors
• Make smarter, more cost-effective marketing decisions
• Stand out from the crowd and grow your business

Totally relevant.

This book was exactly what I needed to read to find a direction in marketing my two small businesses. Oftentimes knowing what to say and being able to craft how to become a daunting task for business owners who are getting their feet wet. Branding Basics serves as a knowledge friend in keeping a checklist for you and holding you accountable to the things that you need to get done for marketing purposes. Tips in the book help me by making me aware of the relevant questions I needed to ask myself about my business. The case studies were extremely helpful in seeing successful companies do the same. So few times am I truly happy with purchases I make in business related books, but this is a gem! The content, production, and narration make is a must have.
