If your company looks like everyone else, you'll have to outspend everyone else.That's the hidden tax of weak branding.Every generic logo, forgettable truck wrap, bland company name, and uninspired website quietly costs you customers, lowers your close rates, shrinks average tickets, makes recruiting harder, and forces you to spend more on marketing just to stay competitive.In Branded Not "Blanded" (2nd Edition), branding expert Dan Antonelli reveals why branding isn't just about looking better, it's about building a business that grows faster, sells more, recruits better employees, and creates lasting enterprise value.Over the past 30 years, Dan and his team at KickCharge® Creative have helped create more than 3,000 home service brands, transforming contractors across North America into companies customers remember, trust, and recommend.
