We all know that a good brand, communicating strong values in the right way, can attract a loyal following and build its awareness worldwide. When recently asked about my favorite brands it took me only a minute to come up with my top three and the characteristics that make them great:
Starbucks
• High quality
• Healthy food choices that are convenient
• Great customer service
• Values the community and customizes its retail stores to match their neighborhoods.
Macy’s
• Good deals on high quality
• Custom/personalized offers for me
• Gives back to the community over the holidays (Thanksgiving parade,
Amazon
• Convenient, easy and fast
• Has everything
• Great customer service
What they all have in common – besides being my favorites – is that they offer a great product paired with great service and a meaningful message.
