“Let’s grab a coke and fries.” “I’ll just make a xerox of this original for you.” “I need a tissue for my runny nose!” “Why don’t you just google it?” These top brands are so powerful that the brands themselves have become generic household terms.
Branding has long been proven to provide a number of critical benefits for small to large businesses alike:
- Recognition: a brand is a “convenient container” and has its own personality – familiar, memorable, comfortable and most importantly in driving purchases, top of mind
- Loyalty: a brand anchors loyalty, and people with a positive brand association are more likely to buy again, more likely to buy related products, and even more likely to make a referral
- Premium Pricing: a brand lifts the overall product image, adding intangible value, including the perception of higher quality
- Savings: once established, a brand will actually save money in promotions as the brand itself carries the weight of the message
Now, NATSO members can profit from these benefits with a custom-branded coffee program provided by our company. This custom program would be made available exclusively to NATSO members and supported by a variety of promotional materials such as outdoor signs, pump toppers, window signs, point-of-sale signs and more. Best of all, as a cooperative program, members would benefit from reduced costs of materials! S&D is proud to showcase three potential NATSO coffee brands and we need your feedback.
