By having a personal brand in a small business, you are also indirectly creating the trust that will retain existing customers. Best of all, if they actually like your personal brand, they might refer your business to their friends as well.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Wayne Liew</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 12 Mar 2009 19:25:34 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: 5 Ways to Amp Up the Personal in Your Brand</title><link>https://www.ducttapemarketing.com/blog/5-ways-to-amp-up-the-personal-in-your-brand/#comment-8135885</link><description>&lt;p&gt;GREAT post about building your brand- &lt;a href="http://tinyurl.com/cs2c9j" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://tinyurl.com/cs2c9j"&gt;http://tinyurl.com/cs2c9j&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">BethBond (Beth Bond)</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 12 Mar 2009 19:22:26 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: 5 Ways to Amp Up the Personal in Your Brand</title><link>https://www.ducttapemarketing.com/blog/5-ways-to-amp-up-the-personal-in-your-brand/#comment-8135889</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Hey, thanks for the mention - that's pretty neat to see.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have to admit that my "posse" definitely comes from attracting the right kind of people to my brand, both business and personal. When you convey a message of who you are, you'll draw in people that resonate with that message.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;That's the magic of branding.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">James Chartrand - Men with Pen</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 12 Mar 2009 19:02:02 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: 5 Ways to Amp Up the Personal in Your Brand</title><link>https://www.ducttapemarketing.com/blog/5-ways-to-amp-up-the-personal-in-your-brand/#comment-8135886</link><description>&lt;p&gt;RT &lt;a href="http://twitter.com/AgingBackwards" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://twitter.com/AgingBackwards"&gt;@AgingBackwards&lt;/a&gt; This is a fantastic article: &lt;a href="http://tinyurl.com/cs2c9j" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://tinyurl.com/cs2c9j"&gt;http://tinyurl.com/cs2c9j&lt;/a&gt; by Pamela Slim ..♫♡&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">AmandaRisi (AmandaRisi)</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 12 Mar 2009 17:09:34 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: 5 Ways to Amp Up the Personal in Your Brand</title><link>https://www.ducttapemarketing.com/blog/5-ways-to-amp-up-the-personal-in-your-brand/#comment-8135887</link><description>&lt;p&gt;This is a fantastic article: &lt;a href="http://tinyurl.com/cs2c9j" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://tinyurl.com/cs2c9j"&gt;http://tinyurl.com/cs2c9j&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">AgingBackwards (Jackie Silver)</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 12 Mar 2009 17:03:56 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: 5 Ways to Amp Up the Personal in Your Brand</title><link>https://www.ducttapemarketing.com/blog/5-ways-to-amp-up-the-personal-in-your-brand/#comment-8135888</link><description>&lt;p&gt;RT &lt;a href="http://twitter.com/ducttape" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://twitter.com/ducttape"&gt;@ducttape&lt;/a&gt;: New blog post: 5 Ways to Amp Up the Personal in Your Brand &lt;a href="http://tinyurl.com/cs2c9j" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://tinyurl.com/cs2c9j"&gt;http://tinyurl.com/cs2c9j&lt;/a&gt; (Great info on connecting)&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">JanetSlack (Janet Slack)</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 12 Mar 2009 14:36:05 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: 5 Ways to Amp Up the Personal in Your Brand</title><link>https://www.ducttapemarketing.com/blog/5-ways-to-amp-up-the-personal-in-your-brand/#comment-8135880</link><description>&lt;p&gt;@Pamela - I do preach the hang out with your customers tip all the time - bring your customers together and let them hang out with each other, even better.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The perfect business in my opinion is one in which you are the customer - you have the same needs, wants, goals, desires and values - man, does that make life easier because you get immediate results for just being who you are.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">ducttape</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 12 Mar 2009 14:14:59 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: 5 Ways to Amp Up the Personal in Your Brand</title><link>https://www.ducttapemarketing.com/blog/5-ways-to-amp-up-the-personal-in-your-brand/#comment-8135876</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Pam always has a way of zeroing in on the things that really make a difference. I love the idea of talking to your ideal customers and not having any of those "worry" issues crop up.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I've been working on writing more clearly, and more recently on letting my personality shine through too. :)&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Nathalie Lussier</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 12 Mar 2009 10:52:39 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: 5 Ways to Amp Up the Personal in Your Brand</title><link>https://www.ducttapemarketing.com/blog/5-ways-to-amp-up-the-personal-in-your-brand/#comment-8135875</link><description>&lt;p&gt;I especially love the last point.

Creating and building business relationships with other people in your field can help you find new and prosperous opportunities in marketing and service.  I've seen it many times, and those who take the time to seek out these potential business relationships are often rewarded for it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thanks&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Zach Heller</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 12 Mar 2009 10:01:48 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
