		<description>A good question. Here&#039;s my response: a brand is perception, meaning what the consumer thinks about a brand IS the brand itself. In this case, Honda has built a reputation for reliability and me, as the consumer, recognized this and even paid more for the Honda brand. Certainly this type of scenario should be the goal of every company: to build positive brand perception that makes the consumer choose your product/service over the competition&#039;s. However, as this post shows, the end product must live up to the hype!</description>

Any thoughts on how this might apply to a business owner and their brand? What&#039;s the takeaway for people selling (as opposed to the consumers)?</description>
