Personal Branding
This is for the dreamers – those of us that imagine better circumstances, a more exciting way to do business and more fulfilling relationships. This is for those of us who are wanting something new, fresh and
thrilling to do with their lives.
Can you think back to a time when everything was exciting and possible – and then maybe one thing or
perhaps a few things happened to change that. To change it enough to make you feel that you need to
settle for what life deals you?
There is no hope in changing yourself or your circumstances just through dreaming!
But combining your dreams, a positive attitude and acting on your thoughts are crucial elements
–NEVER settle for second best!
This year 2012/2013 is about challenge and specifically the challenge of changing your life from the one
you may have just accepted, to the one that you dream about.
What is important is that you desire change – not necessarily the specifics at this stage.
Personal branding is one of the key approaches – perhaps the key one – to reinvent and shape your reputation in order to achieve success.
The best way to make a positive impact is by managing perceptions (how it is seen by others) – how does
one do this?
Rome was not built in a day.

First of all what is a brand?
Think about a brand of coffee
The brand is the sum total of all the things that people think and feel about that coffee.
Think of an ad for Nescafe.
What do you think of when you hear the name Nescafe?
It always shows lifestyle, comfort, taste, relationships.
Its about:
Thinking – feeling – imagining – believing – hoping – fearing
Ultimately the brand of the coffee does not lie in complete control of the coffee company
but in the heads and hearts of the people who purchase and consume it.
Does that mean that the coffee company has no control over their product?
Not at all.
Companies have a huge opportunity to influence what people think and feel about their
products and to shape their own brands.
But you have to remember that brands are always about meaning
and beauty (it lies in the eye of the beholder)
Notes :
People rarely succeed unless they have fun in what they are doing.

This makes it very challenging...
Because we also live in a life of abundant choice
We can choose to eat out every night as there are enough restaurants to choose from
If we wanted to purchase a car there would be dozens of makes and models to choose from
Even a computer, clothing, and skin care
Even magazines and washing powder
With all these to choose from, we have come to use a system of signs and associations to help us
make a choice quickly and effectively
We call this system branding
Let’s think... what does that mean to you:
BMW – fun to drive
Volvo – safety
Rice Crispies – fun
McDonalds – comfort and satisfying
Coca Cola – original and real
So think about your meaning and how it will help you
to achieve your ambitions in work and in life.
Try to step outside of yourself and be as objective as possible.

It always seems impossible until it’s done.

Successful brands have 4 factors in common

Successful brands have 4 factors in common
MIGLIO 7
1. Being authentic
Be true to yourself – no false claims
Establish values that genuinely reflect your personality and the things
you care about.
Ask yourself:
Am I prepared to stand by this value and not compromise as it
speaks of me as an individual?
If the answer is YES then start thinking of it as a value.
In building your personal brand don’t focus on being likeable or great
fun – focus on being authentic
This is a founding principle of branding and of creating the character you want to become

2. Being distinctive
No great brand was ever created by imitating another brand
It is a very important concept.
That does not mean being wacky, weird or crazy
But what makes you distinctly different from others?

you individuality
Make a list of everything that gives
and sets you apart

3. Being compelling
Great brands command our attention. They behave in a way that excites or moves their audience.
Think Woolworths
It’s not dramatic, it does not really change – if you walk into a store no matter where you are you will be
able to find your way around. It does not set style, but it does stay up to date. And there lies its compelling manner. For some consumers, this store provides reliability and assurance of quality.
Normally high service ratings and it fulfils its promises.
Think Obama
What made his appointment so exciting? Well it could be because he was the first black Amercian
president to be elected – But there was much more. He is a published writer. He is a man of youth and
integrity. He has charisma – presenting speeches with a genuine and powerful connection. And finally,
and most importantly, he presented an idea; a dream of hope: “Yes we can!”
Not a bad model to have in mind when you begin to think about your own personal brand
• Being compelling
• Why do people find you engaging
• What qualities, skills or behaviours are you noted for
• Are you known as one who can organise a party, a great listener or brilliant gardener
TIP:

– if you can uncover it this could be
the key element in your brand

4. Being excellent
Think Apple – a brand that typifies excellence in action
Amazon – excellent service
Google – greatest search engine
Please note that excellence does not mean perfect
It means to surpass in good quality
As you develop your own brand you will need to assess yourself against others
to ensure you surpass in good quality
We are not after perfection.
What do you have potential for excellence in?

Businesses tend to fail not because they don’t have a good product, but rather they fail to establish a set
of authentic, distinctive, compelling and excellent meanings in the minds and hearts of their customers.
Those businesses that do establish meaning no matter how small their ambitions, are the ones that tend
to succeed – you need to establish your reason, your meaning and your distinctive difference.
Try and sell yourself to the person sitting next to you – how daunting is that!
In one sentence, how would you describe yourse if showing your purpose or distinctive differences –
ie your brand?
“I would perhaps use the word motivating / styling guru to describe myself. Guru is a funny word but in Sanscript (Indian) it means teacher. This word guru is an exciting word, and a little tongue in cheek! In other
words it is different. Suddenly I have a point of distinction.”
What is yours?
- Think of the word Stylist – what does that conjure up for you?
- Think of ways in which you can define yourself in Miglio
Business cards • Car signage • Banners • Social media – FB & Twitter • Email • SMS • Website
- Then look at your personal service delivery to your customers and hostesses
- What do you offer that is considerably different to other stylists?
- Look at your relationship with your teams
- What do you offer them to make them stay with you?
- How do you conduct yourself every day?

This includes newspapers, radio, flyer advertising, social media
Personal selling
Your customers have to be found
Prospecting then takes place outside of your comfort area
Sales Promotion
The primary aim of a sales promotion is to assist in moving product
Sales promotion aides include catalogues, special displays, banners and signs

Why do you need to develop a promotion plan?
To acquaint your customers with your new product range
To capitalize on the seasonal nature of the range
To establish your personal image
Emphasize quality of the product and of your service
Increase traffic
Inform customers of special services you offer – delivery, style analysis etc

TIPS:
•
•
•
Avoid random advertising that has no purpose.
Remember your aim is to develop market awareness and
the image of your business.
Always run an ad which shows an unique selling proposition
– if a competitors logo could be substituted for yours in an ad you were
running and it still made sense then your ad is less effective – find your
USP ie. a clothing firm “Fashions for the woman who thinks young”.
Time your promotions to coincide when the customer wants to spend.
Do not waste advertising in a lagging season and do not fail to take
advantage of a good season.
About 10% of your total month ad budget should be held in reserve
for special promotions.
How can you effectively promote yourself using the above techniques and

The definition of window dressing
A display window (most commonly called shop window (British English) or store window
(American English) is a window in a shop displaying items for sale or otherwise designed
to attract customers to the store. Usually, the term refers to larger windows in the front
façade of the shop. Display windows at boutiques usually
have dressed-up mannequins in them.
Or the act of making something appear more attractive
What is your window?
YOU!

Take a look in the mirror or better still ask your best friend around for a

If you are throwing out clothes that you are not 100% confident in
think of giving these to someone who will appreciate them – many homes for
abused women would be incredibly grateful and then you know you have also
done something really good!

Working with Style
First...Using the style guide already given, analyse your facial shape and neck length.
Then think of your personal lifestyle – we are not all the same and therefore our
wardrobes will need to reflect our individual personality. But we all have ONE thing in
common – we do want to look our best at all times, we want to feel good about ourselves
and feel confident that we reflect our brand!
A company called Fashion Fit Formula has the following philosophy:
One size does not fit all! They believe that whatever clothes you own can be customized
to fit those exact places where your body will look its slimmest. These points remain the
same even if you pick up or lose weight because they are based on your bone structure
which does not change.
For more information on this, visit their website www.fashionfitformula.com
- Based on your neck length decide what is the best neckline for you –
Have a wardrobe throw out of EVERYTHING that does not work for your personal style
Choose scoop necks and not boat necks
Choose long chains if you are needing extra length and slimness
Choose fine jersey V necks over chunky crew knit
Choose shawl collars rather than mandarin
Choose longer length, finer earrings over wider chunkier styles

•

•
Take a leaf from home decor.
•
Look at fashion mags.
•
If you don’t have white busts, purchase round plastic bowls. Turn them upside down
and cover with white fabric. These make perfect display stands for necklaces and bracelets.
•
Use one catalogue for display purposes.
•
Carefully tear or cut out pages showing product you don’t have to use with perhaps
a pair of earrings that match the look.
•
Go to your local art shop and purchase a sheet of foamboard (lightweight cardboard).
•
Cut these into suitable sizes (try and use the same size as your suitcase on wheels –less to carry).
•
Purchase suitable wrapping paper or wallpaper and cover each board – these can be changed as
you want in order to present the theme you are wanting to convey.
•
Contact a company like Sho Craft (JHB) and Tocor (CPT) and invest in a few busts and ring boxes.
•
Rummage at 2nd hand furniture shops for interesting frames which you can paint in the color of
the season.
•
Visit Mr. Price Home and look for small special touches which will add a little atmosphere to your
display – these are easy and affordable to update when you change your window!
•
Invest in a pull up banner – Miglio can order these personalised for you – they are available in a
small x frame and the larger pull up banner. These can be updated by simply replacing the canvas
inner.
•
Use the options for personal tent cards – the more you emphasize and
reinforce YOU the better for your sales.

Spend money on these add on’s rather than flowers and other expensive additions
that you can’t use again.

Fashion Trends
Fashion trend forecasting resources help predict trends in the fashion industry. Fashion & trend
forecasting is the prediction of mood, behavior and buying habits of the consumer at a particular
time of season. It is no longer a question of finding your markets or consumers by age, geography or income, but looking into how and what they buy, based on their culture, mood, beliefs,
occasion & geographic locations. It is also dependent on fashion cycle and plays a major role in
an introductory phase of recurring fashion cycles.
Fashion trend forecast calculates trends using the following:
Season > Target Market > Consumer > Colours > Fabrics > Silhouette > Texture > Usage
Understanding fashion trends forecast is one of the most arduous and calculative work of all.
Most of the top business houses around the world rely on designers for understanding the same,
but on the other side there are others who don’t believe in it at all.
In current times when we look at technology we know nothing is by chance and there are people
who are working behind the scenes, day and night to make things appear easy and affordable to
us.
A question which often comes to our minds are which trend forecasts to use
and how we can understand it better.

Fashion Trends
Lets look at what affects fashion trends most:
Seasons
Each season, the design and merchandising departments worldwide are waiting for what’s on
trend for the coming seasons. They rely heavily on creating a new line using valuable data collected by professional agencies.
Trend forecasts are based on seasons; Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. Like we connect certain colours with holidays and seasons, trend forecasters expect to see earthy tones in Autumn,
jewelled colours for holidays, the pastels of flowers in early Spring, and refreshing white for the
Summer.
All the manufacturers include some of these standard colours in their line or collection planning.
Work on a new line normally begins six months before the selling season ie
a flowery dress to be worn in May should be in the design section in December.
The manufacturers must produce four or five seasonal lines per year. Targeting delivery a month
ahead is providing consumers with continual fresh merchandise for each season.

Color Blocking
Spring runways were more colourful than a crowd at a Lady Gaga concert! Bold, solid-colour
pieces—like a cardi and skirt, a wrap dress or a demure one-piece suit—make simple dressing
look glam. Our style tip: Stick to three colours max to avoid the girly, Rainbow Brite look.

Sporty Anorak
Spring 2012’s cool-girl anoraks—as seen at Tommy Hilfiger, Edun and Jason Wu—are a win-win
as far as we’re concerned! They fit in with Spring’s sporty vibe and promise to make your rainy
days look chic. What’s not to love?

Super Bold Prints
There are prints, and then there are PRINTS. All caps are necessary to describe the vibrant, swirling, styled head-to-toe patterns that sashayed down the Spring 2012 runways. While there’s
plenty to choose from—oversized florals, mirrorlike geometric shapes and even parrot prints—
we like how designer Joseph Altuzarra paired his fruit-punch blazer over a super simple black top
and pant ensemble.

Just before New York Fashion Week kicked off, the Pantone Institute shared its prediction for the most popular colours of Spring 2012, and it was spot-on! The pick for spring’s

citrus of choice, there are plenty more orange hues to choose from.
Wear one colour and look chic? How easy is that!
Sophie Theallet, Steven Alan, Doo-Ri, Spring 2012
Futuristic Prints
With so many pixilated prints and swirling graphics, it’s clear that someone’s been having
fun with Photoshop. If you’re feeling tired of classic patterns like plaids, stripes and polka
dots, then Spring 2012’s futuristic-print trend is for you! To keep things in this day and age
(and not full-on Jetsons era), pair a techno-print piece with something simple like a won’tgo-out-of-style-for-light-years t-shirt.
