Why Is Brand Marketing Important?
The mailbox, the gardener, the garden, and the brand
Every house has a mailbox. Most mailboxes look the same, depending on the neighborhood, some made of brick, some of wood, with different color boxes made of metal for all the inevitable junk mail to be stored temporarily.
In one case, there was a mailbox that was different.
The owner of this mailbox began over time, planting a lush garden around it with a variety of plants, flowers, and ground cover. So much so, it was no longer just a mailbox, but a focal point of everyone who passed.
The owner of the mailbox garden heard comments and compliments from passersby, on the local online neighborhood chat, people commented – not to mention the drive-by casual glancers who noticed with appreciation as it bettered the neighborhood.
For some, this set a new level to achieve the mailbox environment standards.
The gardener had a vision for what could be and created it, the garden gave a created a mailbox space that stood out from everyone else’s mailbox, which was easy to see.
The mailbox is the company.
The gardener is the brand and marketing strategist.
The garden is the brand and marketing that speaks to the
audience and grows the company.
There’s not much to say about the other mailboxes, why?
Because all they do is hide mail.
