Woocommerce Brands

Let’s talk about brands. What is it? What role do they play in our lives? Why do they need? Do you sometimes think about brands for your store? How do they help you?

What is it?

A brand is a name, term, design, symbol, or other feature that distinguishes an organization or product from its rivals in the eyes of the customer. Brands are used in business, marketing, and advertising. Name brands are sometimes distinguished from generic or store brands.

What role do they play in our lives?

Whether we realize it or not, brands dictate our world. They’re always surrounding us, thus we are constantly being marketing to in one way to another. From the bracelets on our wrists, to backpacks, to earphones, to the cup in our hands, almost everything we use has a brand pasted on it. These brands enable connotations in our mind. They tell us information about the product and arbitrarily about the person wearing it.

When we become aware of how much brands really influence our actions, interactions, and perspectives in life, the truth is quite sobering…

It’s not to say that brands don’t have a good use in our lives. Brands carry information about a product’s’ value and can actually add to our experience. They help us see what is worth spending our money on and what is not. But the danger comes in when we let those things dictate our lives – when the companies are successful in making us feel like we can’t live without their having their brandname on a product and when we judge the status of people based on a 2 centimeter logo.
