Branding. Kind of an embarassing word if you think about it. But we need to talk about it. Not your logo or color scheme, etc. but what can people expect to see from you and your business. Do your social media followers recognize your posts instantly without the need to read who it's from?This week Amanda talks about finding and defining our brands by sending out a clear, honest message of who YOU are, what you're about and what you love. Defining who you are and who your audience is will mean that you are NOT for everyone. It's OK, Amanda talks about that too. We're also featuring a few stand-out vintage businesses.
