THE THREE R’S OF SERVICE BRANDING: REACH, RECOGNITION, AND REPUTATION
By Robert Croston Think about your most recent branding campaign. Were your television ads as successful as you'd like them to be?

Depending on the location of the store, sometimes it pays to have a greeter standing at the front door handing samples out to consumers as they walk by. This technique works well in shopping malls and in other high traffic areas. It's no secret that consumers love free things and will often come into the store simply to pick up an advertised giveaway. The hope is that those customers will buy something else once they are there.

Do you mind being beaten on price?
