Family Business Brand

Family-run businesses can effectively market their companies by focusing on . . . the family. By branding your company as a family-owned business you create trust with customers. Consumers see multigenerational family businesses as committed to the community and to customers. They also believe that family-owned businesses offer more personal service than non-family businesses. Learn more about marketing your family business with the free online article “Market Your Tradition,” available from the National Association for the Self-Employed (NASE).
