Everyone today talks about brand and goes for branded clothes, shoes, accessories, house hold items, home furniture and other details are branded. But what exactly is the brand? Brand can be a product, company or identifier like logo or trademark. The concept of brand was not known in pre-industrial period. So before industrialization there was no brand as well as brand identity, because the things were made by craftsman in villages that were then sold in the market. But with industrialization mass production of products and items began. During this period export and import of the goods and manufacturing item started and they usually issue tender notice for that.

5.Message along with brand should be very clear and hit the target audience very clearly.

6.Give your brand the most memorable name. The name should be easy to pronounce and understand. Along with this also create a logo to identify your product or service.
