Branding for Small Businesses:
Based on his vast experience in the branding of large companies such as: 3M, Koor Industries, Netafim, TTI Telecom, Telrad, EDI Telecom, I-Scan Robotics, Estar-Medical, Commonsense and others, Yoram has created a new method for the branding of small businesses. He believes they deserve to receive the same benefits as the larger companies. His unique process, more affordable than the regular branding process, takes advantage of the much faster decision making process in small businesses (less management and teams involved), reasonable time-to-market with lower costs and the more easily attainable goals of reaching a smaller market niche. In recent years, Yoram has also been responsible for the branding of many free lance professionals such as performing artists, designers, architects, medical doctors and medical suppliers, individual online retailers and more.
The world of Internet allows small businesses to act in the global arena, in the “big guys” playground. At reasonable cost, they can research their target markets, maintain a presence in their market arena of choice, and reach potential clients and strategic partners all over the globe. Yoram creates powerful websites that attract many visitors and are designed to achieve prominent placement in search engines. This enables the small business to deliver its messages and cause potential clients to remember, prefer, buy and remain loyal over a long period of time.
