Branding

The other day at work one of my suppliers came to see me.  It was, I suppose his annual visit and being the lovely supplier he is, he bought me in a present.

When I saw the box the first thing I said to him is that this company has really thought a lot about their brand.  Inside this exquisite box were two of the yummiest cupcakes I have ever had the pleasure of tasting (lovely Jim and I shared them).  But before I even knew what was in this box, which I must say was ideal to carry home on public transport, I was already won over by whatever the product must be.  I knew I was going to like it.


Branding is so important to any business and after having been the recipient of Bea's of Bloomsbury's products I am certainly going to be looking at mine.  It's on my to do list and will be something I address.  


We have to think about how we want to be perceived.  What we want or customers to feel and also, what type of company we are...traditional, funky, modern, contemporary.  When I saw this box, I knew the product would be quality, carefully made and come from a beautiful environment.  It oozed everything I would want in a brand.


Well done Bea's of Bloomsbury for not only creating the best cupcakes I have ever eaten, but for creating a brand that goes with it.

Happy cake filled Friday xxx

You're right and these looks scrumptious! It's an art and skill in itself though isn't it? I do admire artists who have clever packaging. :)

Those look yummy! (As does the packaging!) I need to sort out my branding I think and give it a bit of a re vamp, thank you for inspiring and reminding me!

Thank you ladies and I agree, branding is so important. We need to think about the message we convey.

Thanks for taking the time to comment x
