If you’ve been following our most recent articles, celebrities that have long and successful careers are continuously in the public eye promoting themselves. They are always attracting attention whether it’s an interview, a movie, a quote, and so on.

The same continual promotion applies to a business. You have your brand, you have your product and services, but how well you get them out there consistently in the public eye and attract attention will determine the longevity and success of your brand.

The above-named companies are well known and could take the gas off promotions if they wanted to, but do they? No, they don’t. They are always promoting and always in the public eye. Promotion means to keep it going, keep it turned on.
