Now it is time for more industrial companies to start using branding in a sophisticated way. This book provides the concepts, the theory, and dozens of cases illustrating the successful branding of industrial goods. It offers strategies for a successful development of branding concepts for business markets and explains the benefits and the value a business, product or service provides to industrial customers. Branding is the road that a company must travel to define what it wants to be excellent at and how its offerings differ from competitors. This book provides the best practices and hands-on advice for B2B brand management.
