Social Network Doing Its Part to Help Build the Economy
Become Better Brands announces free and low cost membership, support, & more to aid entrepreneurs and
SBO?s to build a successful brand on a shoestring budget
Fort Lauderdale, FL (PRWEB)
Become Better Brands, an up and coming social network on the Ning
platform, was founded in response to the need for small business owners
and entrepreneurs to grow their businesses in a down economy. Though
still small in size, the network has recently tripled in membership as
more businesses become aware of its valuable offerings which aid them in
building their brands. The network is doing its part to help business
owners in this weak economic environment by offering a free membership,
monthly newsletter, free advertisement, central access to in-house
consultants, webinars, and informative member contributed blogs and
discussions, in a order to help aid them in developing consistent and
cohesive brand identities. In a "down economy, tomorrow's leader's are
born, according to a report by the J.C. Williams Group titled "Building Business/ Brands in a Down Economy."
Become Better Brands is a network built on being collaborative and
supportive in nature, as demonstrated by the fact that even the logo and
web designs were created and voted on by its members. BBB employs
marketing techniques that actually serve as lessons for budding business
owners seeking to grow their influence and recognizability. For
instance, it operates a brand ambassador program for the BBB brand,
which actually demonstrates techniques the members can use with their
own brand development. The network is also currently running a Social
September Member Tag, which requires the members to visit other members?
profiles and leave thoughtful comments in order to compete to win
almost $300 worth of prizes, all provided by BBB and its members.
For members seeking more support and accountability, BBB now offers
an affordable 10 week branding bootcamp program that can be done in a
group format or on an intensive, one to one basis. The program takes the
trainees through the branding process, touching on logos, websites,
social media, SEO, customer service, promotions, and brand loyalty. Joy
Randel of Dazzle Dog Delight and bootcamp trainee says that the
?Bootcamp has been invaluable to me.? Additionally, the network just
opened up an Elite membership, which provides access to a bi-weekly
mastermind chat, first access to webinars, text advertisements in the
monthly newsletter, and the ability to contribute articles for placement
in the newsletter. The next group bootcamp program will begin in
November and registrations are due by Oct. 15th. According to Become
Better Brands owner Heather Lopez, ?Many small business owners are lost
when it comes to building their brands. They know they want to do it,
but just don?t know how or can?t afford to pay the usual rates charged
by branding agencies. Many of our new members have the beginnings of a
brand, but can?t seem to take their businesses to the next level or are
even sabotaging their own brand by using cost saving techniques that
don?t work. Become Better Brands helps to guide them in the right
direction, teaching them how to build their brand without spending a
fortune doing it.?
In response to the surging popularity of branding and social media,
Become Better Brands has incorporated both in one convenient place for
those looking to harness the power of having a consistently identifiable
brand image that is shared by others virtually. Members can even tweet
and share posts right from the site, and invite others to join in the
discussions. The network also boasts groups that join together to help
build followings on Twitter, Facebook, and blogs, as well as to target
specific niches. The network is currently seeking larger brands to
sponsor the site and foster a sort of mentorship for those just starting
out. Mrs. Lopez reports that she ?would like BBB to become a central
place where small brands go to grow up.?
