Verbal Branding speaks loudly to the New England Franchise Association (NEFA), March 8, at the Doubletree Hotel, Waltham

Posted: Feb 05, 2011 |Comments: 0 |

Author and founder of the theory of "Verbal Branding" Stephen Melanson will speak on the topic to the New England Franchise Association (NEFA) on Tuesday, March 8, Doubletree Hotel 550 Winter Street, Waltham, MA.

Melanson is the author of "Jaw Branding" and his second book "Verbal BrandingINSTEAD!" will be released this year.  Melanson challenges many conventional theories of branding, sales, and marketing. His core theory is that all members of an organization – from the janitor to the CEO – should understand and then be able to convey why they are "different and better" than the competition in 5 seconds or less.

The evening includes a cocktail and networking session beginning at 5:30 p.m., dinner at 7:00 p.m., and then the presentation from Melanson. The entire business community is urged to attend. Membership in the NEFA is NOT required. Reservations are required.  Registration Fee is $50 per person and includes dinner.  NEFA Members receive $10.00 off.

"The traditional elevator pitch simply doesn't work – making the average consumer suspicious – and must be replaced with an entirely different mindset and tactic", says Melanson.  He added, "Verbal Branding applies uncommon simplicity to "manage" what a consumers' remembers and creates a more valuable offers in the market. Well known examples are ‘Volvo, safe and reliable'.  Or Geiko, ‘Give us 15 minutes, we'll give you 15 percent.' Great Verbal Branding is direct, honest, and moves action both internally and externally."

His background also includes being a trained non-practicing Psychotherapist, professional tennis player, and on-air talk radio host.  Stephen Melanson is the President of Melanson Consulting based in Arlington, MA.

"In working with advertising agencies and marketing companies over the past 25 years I've endured a lot of verbal posturing and techno speak.  Verbal branding is a refreshing answer to today's marketing noise and makes marketing messages more authentic and understandable ," commented Steve Dubin, President of the New England Franchise Association and founder of PR Works, a full-service public relations firm based in Kingston, MA.  He continued, "Stephen Melanson is an entertaining and dynamic speaker who quickly shows business audiences how to completely shift their view of the marketing process."

    The key reason why some firms thrive while some implode during an financial recession is still a puzzle to many people business-owning business owners. Some wrongly assume that all businesses should suffer via recessionary cycles. But the truth is that some companies are usually essentially recession-proof, and it is not necessarily because they are much larger, better known, or a lot more generously capitalized.
