What do we mean when we talk about “Branding”? To compete with national chains, you’ll have to have a strong grasp on this concept — especially if you’re just starting out. Part of why huge companies can move so easily from state to state is because of a concept called “brand recognition.” When consumers recognize a brand, they feel comforted and will likely choose this company over a smaller business they are unfamiliar with.
