This Conclave is enabling all these entrepreneurs to build relationships and grow their business network, and simultaneously explore opportunities of business and collaborations. This Conclave will reap huge benefits for each of them in the days to come. Mr Prahalad Kakkar during his talk enlightened us on the importance of branding for SMEs.
Prahlad Kakkar said, people who create value for others become valuable to everyone else, there is deep similarity with brands too. Brand building is basically a consumptive exercise. Only those Brands which add value to its consumers will live and go on to create history. Just not that, the brand also adds value to the person who invests in it. Owning a brand which creates value can bring happiness to the brand owner. Elaborating on advertising he said, often advertising actually creates an artificial value which didn’t exist and the consumer pays for the image that is created around advertising for that product. That is the power of advertising and the power of building brands. How do we create value in a creative process, I could never asses it, when I created advertisements I was never in a position to attribute the value it will create. Many of those iconic Ads are still relevant even after two decades of their creation, though the life of an Ad is just six months. Brand values are often built around stories which is manifold powerful and resonate and remain many years even after the brand has died. If we present facts and figures about our brand, they often turn out to be drab and boring, therefore we need to tell stories, only with stories we get engagement. When we get engagement, we get conversions and we get value.
The BNI Networking Conclave was sponsored by Sunrise Drivers’ spearheaded by Jaipal Reddy, as title sponsor; the Associate sponsor was ‘Style Club’ skippered by Sushil Kumar and the Networking Sponsor was Grid Club founded by Shubham Agarwal.
