If you are a typical Yellow Page advertiser, this headline is what you want to hear. Either from me, your YP rep, or the publisher. Why? Because you are paying too much already, or at least you think you are. I should know. I was a YP consultant for a Bell publishing company for 25 years and always heard how expensive we were. Whether it was for a $10 listing or a $1500 full page, it didn’t matter. So I fought over the rates before I ever got to the main problem with the ads. That’s right, the cost isn’t the problem. So
I’m here to set the record straight once and for all! The findings might surprise you and will forever change the way you look at your business.
Branding
How is that you choose one product over another? You do so by considering price, availability, evaluating the high touch elements of a company like customer service, respect you have for that company, and then of course product quality.
A brand therefore is the combination of aesthetic and emotions that gives a consumer (or business buyer) a reason to choose one product over another. It communicates a unique quality or a value promise that sets a business apart from their competition.
Branding isn’t just for large corporations either. Entrepreneurs, coaches, consultants, virtual assistants, small businesses in general are now packaging themselves as products with press kits, tag lines, websites, blogs, and portfolios allowing their clients to EXPERIENCE their personal brands.

"Business opportunities are like buses, there's always another one coming." - Richard Branson, founder of Virgin EnterprisesIf business opportunities are like bus, then be sure that there will be many who will want to board the buses. They will also face the eternal question ‘What next’? The next step is to choose the type of business. The choices are many and the decision, well, as usual, always difficult to make. Before opting for any type of business, it will augur well, if you understand the difference between

One of the biggest established trends on the market front today, and still gathering momentum, is cocooning - the desire to perform the majority of social and cultural interactions (working, entertaining, relaxing, etc.) from home, rather than by going outside the home.

It’s not about creating a special persona that you “show off” in front of your clients. Instead, it’s about understanding what is truly unique about you: strengths, skills, values and passions – and communicating those attributes consistently to differentiate yourself and guide your business decisions.
Personal branding is all about differentiation and is what makes you outstanding so you stand out from the countless offers your target audience is bombarded with.
