We at TradeMark must ask the question; as a company, are you trending or are you blending? Trending up or blending in? Do your logo and tagline set you apart, or do they boringly resemble the majority of your competition? The camouflage look may work well for those Duck Dynasty fellas, but you're probably not selling duck calls, are you?

Relying upon outdated marketing methodologies and branding strategies that seemed effective in 2006 may have you panhandling by 2016. Moreover, the constantly evolving mobile landscape combined with social media perception and shortened customer attention spans have forced many small business owners to up their game. Adapt or die. Differentiate or dissipate.

The American Marketing Association (AMA) defines a brand as a "name, term, sign, symbol or design, or a combination of them intended to identify the goods and services of one seller or group of sellers and to differentiate them from those of other sellers."
