Episode Details

DESCRIPTION

Have you ever felt that your dog business brand is just another generic logo with a paw print? If you have this is a must listen episode for you. Jo & Vicky are joined by Kate Hendry from Finbo Creative Studio who explains how to create a purposeful, authentic brand for your pet business. 

She shares how to uncover your unique mission and what makes you different, then use that to build a brand that will get you noticed and remembered. Kate shares practical strategies that any dog business, regardless of size, will be able to use.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Branding your business changes your mindset. It stops you from thinking of yourself as just a small local business and helps you to grow.

• Branded small businesses have an edge over large corporations. Their brands are more personal and easier for customers to identify with.

• Lean into the things that you are passionate about.

• Identify something that is different about you and build that into your brand e.g. If you sing while walking your dogs – you could be the singing dog walker. It can be a tiny thing, something that makes you more human and personable is ideal.

• Build a purposeful brand rather than a professional brand. It tells people so much more about who you are and what they will get from working with you.

• Don’t be afraid to niche down. Kate´s business really took off when she did that.

• Niching down provides clarity – you know exactly who you are targeting and how to reach them.

• A clear mission and what makes you different from the competition are the foundations on which to build your brand.

• People crave human connection, and when you are authentic and share who you are personally, customers will be drawn to you.

• Kate teaches people to tap into psychology to design their website and advertising materials to make customers more likely to buy from them.

BEST MOMENTS

“A brand is not just a flat thing. It can have a personality, and it can match your personality.” 

“As a small business, you have a whole lot more power in the fact that it’s you running it, and it’s not a team of faceless people.”

“By the end of it (Kate´s training), they're like - that last piece of content took me 10 minutes because I have the foundations and know what I am talking about.”

“We're just so blind to some of the special things about us…we put ourselves in a box.”

“I just leaned into where I was in my life and the things that I'm passionate about.”
