A true key to success is knowing what features set you apart from your competitors. – Anita Roddick
Great branding is partially about distinguishing your company as an innovator, not an imitator. The idea is to differentiate yourself from your competitors in your customer’s mind and heart.

Devote good time researching your competition. Visit trade shows and retail outlets to observe what your competition is doing now—and what they have planned for the future.
