Branding, here's another way to do it
Let's face it today, many things are becoming commodities. Generic branding which started not that long ago, is growing. Price is now pretty much the main deciding factor. Or, is it?
I recently read a book about Jamie Oliver, the chef and entrepreneur. In the footsteps of many ahead of him who extended his name and personal brand to other products and services, e.g., cookware, cookbooks, shows and the like, Oliver has expanded his now familiar face and name to other income streams.
With a friendly and affable persona, Oliver started his brand with an appearance in a TV documentary. His style and approach to cooking, plus his personality, of course, made him an ideal candidate as a TV personality.
He did three series as "The Naked Chef" and then came "Jamie's Kitchen".
Oliver then expanded to other areas from there including setting up his own production company, Fresh One Production Company.
Jamie Oliver made a few mistakes along the way, but he had his sights well set at expanding his brand. He also did a lot of work for the public, including a School Dinners campaign and Ministry of Food. The former effort was aimed at improving the quality of school meals. The latter was aimed at encourage cooking in a housing estate.
Not averse to controversy, Oliver used shock tactics to make consumers think about animal welfare standards.
Again, these efforts help build on his persona, his personal brand.
With the development of his name, his brand, his persona, Oliver went into partnership with different enterprises and manufacturers to build restaurant chains, a party planning business, "own brand" line of herbs, sauces, oils and kitchenware.
And, he even got involved in multimedia activities, which includes a video game and video downloads for mobile phone users.
So, the brand expanded and developed.
While it may not be the way to develop your business, it is a means of building a brand, albeit in a more personal and persona-based business.
I'll cover some of the lessons Jamie Oliver learned in building his brand in future posts.
Until then....

Добрый день
Популярность [url=http://www.mashki.ru]досуг в москве[/url] в столице Москвы не знает границ. С каждым днем количество услуг Проститутки Москвы увеличивается, однако, справедливости ради, нужно отметить, что женщины представительниц работниц интима здесь всегда хватало, даже в старые времена. И это не странно, ведь только проститутки Москвы способны предоставить полный комплекс секс знакомства, не требуя букетов, виски и сладостей, при этом их предложение по оплате явно не будет высока.[url=http://www.mashki.ru]сайты знакомства[/url] уже давно стали постоянными, но невольными посетителям разнообразных передач о ночной жизни, а также героинями публикаций. И это, по сути, делает им дополнительную рекламу, поскольку услуги знакомства для секса и без того весьма популярны в нашей стране. Тем не менее, частые клиенты у sex девочки обслуживаются в разных районах Москвы. Ведь [url=http://www.mashki.ru]транссексуалки москвы[/url], доставляющие им удовольствие, обычны, и знают, что данному парню нравится, а что – нет. Например, не так уж и трудно найти в Москве истинных поклонников новизны, транссексуалы москвы и других проявлений, которые еще некоторое время назад считались мягко говоря не приличными. Теперь же [url=http://www.mashki.ru/places.php]индивидуалки[/url] вполне естественно, а на возможного желающего всегда найдется свое предложение.[url=http://www.mashki.ru]проститутки

Before I tell you the purple gorrila joke, here's a short joke...
A five inch man was building his house. He decides to build it from
bricks. So he figures he'll need 24 bricks to build his house. He goes
to the store and finds he can only buy them by the dozen! So he buys
two dozen Bricks. When he's done he doesn't know what to do with the
last brick! So he thinks and thinks. Then one day, years later, he
gets a brilliant idea: SO he takes the brick to the front of his house
and Hurls it up in to the air as hard as he can!!!!!! LOL
