The standards of your target audience and their expectations will vary based upon your projects and business niche. Those in the extreme snowboarding niche are going to be dealing with a very different client base than the business who works with quilters. What’s perfectly acceptable with one group would be scandalous with the other.

However, it’s usually possible for any business marketer to recognize what will and what will not “fly” within his or her niche. That information is extremely important because we want all of our branding efforts to remain within the expectations and preferences of our primary demographic.

In other words, be professional, be a PRO!. Construct a brand that behaves itself and that doesn’t step outside of the limits of acceptable behavior within its target audience. It’s another example of how consistency and discipline plays a big role in smart branding.

Be sure to know your field’s particular limits and mores before starting your branding efforts and act in a manner consistent with them in order to secure the best possible results.
