It was 3 years ago to the day that I wrote my best-selling book Branded Not Blanded. I poured my heart into that book, and it quickly became a trusted resource for so many home service owners about why branding was so important. 

After I published it, I began to keep a journal of things that would make the book even more impactful. And so I began to work on the second edition. More case studies, more content revolving around the notion of building brands which become 5-mile famous. 

But there was another piece of content I wanted to include in the new edition, and that was the data behind the concept of brand disruption. So I spent a year trying to collect as much data showing the actual results of branding, and its’ effect on the KPIs that matter most to home service owners. The results point to the undeniable truth about why branding matters so much.

And lastly, the addition of an entire chapter on brand story shows how to build an authentic brand story that connects your brand to the people you are selling to, and helps your brand occupy the most valuable space in the world: the minds of your customers. 

There’s dozens of new case studies from owners who have experience the power of their branding, and it’s effect on their business, mindset, and various KPIs.

The new book is about 60 pages longer than the first edition, even with the font being smaller. If you already have the first edition, I really leave that up to you if you want to get the updated version. We finally have a hardcover option, too.

A lot of naming and trademark issues come from one simple mistake, only checking state availability. But federal trademarks supersede everything, which means a name can look “available” locally and still get you a cease and desist later.

The safe move is checking both federal and state databases before you commit, and protecting your name and logo early. Fixing a brand after the fact is always more expensive than building it right from the start. #KickChargeCreative #branding #smallbusiness by @danantonelli_kickcharge

Most businesses are driving around one of their biggest marketing opportunities every single day.

Business owners invest heavily in websites, digital ads, and lead generation, yet many overlook the vehicles their teams use daily. A professionally branded vehicle can create thousands of impressions every week while building trust and recognition in the communities you serve.

Whether you're a contractor, electrician, plumber, HVAC company, landscaper, or fleet owner, your vehicles are often the first impression potential customers have of your business.

The question isn't whether people see your vehicles.
The question is whether they'll remember your brand when they do.

Everyone’s in a soccer mood right now. We get it, we are too. ⚽️

But while you’re watching the games, we’re still over here focused on something else: digital marketing that actually grows businesses.

Trends come and go, but leads, calls and revenue are what keep the scoreboard interesting long after the final whistle. #KickChargeCreative #digitalmarketing #smallbusiness by @danantonelli_kickcharge

Strong brands don’t just live outside the company, they shape what happens inside it too. Terri is an expert in seeing both sides of that equation.

For customers, branding is the first impression. It builds trust, sets expectations and influences perception before a single conversation happens.

But for employees, it’s something different: it’s pride. It’s confidence in what they’re representing and alignment with the culture they’re part of. When both sides line up, the brand stops being just marketing, it becomes the standard everyone operates from. #KickChargeCreative #branding #smallbusiness by @danantonelli_kickcharge

One comment after another coming in about working with us at KickCharge.

Customers who’ve been through it and felt the results firsthand can speak from experience, and I’m grateful they do.

This is what happens when a brand actually starts doing its job. #KickChargeCreative #branding #rebrand #getthespark by @danantonelli_kickcharge

Saying “I’m a plumber!” isn’t a marketing strategy.

Your customers are already searching. The question is whether they find you... or your competitor.

That’s why SEO and digital marketing matter. It’s not about chasing clicks. It’s about showing up in front of the right people, at the exact moment they need you, with a brand they’re actually confident enough to call.

Because if they can’t find you, they can’t hire you.⚡#KickChargeCreative #Branding #DigitalMarketing #SEO #BrandedNotBlanded by @danantonelli_kickcharge

Trust isn’t built by one logo or one truck wrap, it’s built when every part of the brand speaks the same language.

From visuals to messaging, everything needs to work together to tell a clear story about who you are and why you’re different. The words on a website matter just as much as the design. That’s where the narrative lives and where customers decide if they believe in you.

And when it’s done right, even a simple story can create a powerful emotional connection that sticks. #KickChargeCreative #branding #websitedesign #smallbusiness by @danantonelli_kickcharge

Apparently we’re now doing branding for intergalactic clients. 👽

This one wanted a spaceship wrap that doesn’t look like every other boring gray rock floating through space.

Naturally, the brief also included a mascot… definitely our first brand featuring a “”Puctar.”” 

Moral of the story: even in space, good branding matters.
