Sam shares her philosophy behind strong community branding all throughout, and has a few slogans to keep in mind that may help with branding consideration: “Find something you're passionate about and execute it and execute it at the highest level possible. Get your brand out there. Your brand speaks highly of you even when you aren't there. So getting out into your community, buying water bottles for the school, doing a local festival, free events like Easter egg hunts, just making yourself very noticeable in your community. People would have t-shirts or water bottles, and now brand recognition is important. You want them to look at that and be like, Oh, I remember I took my kids, this or that event, we did pictures with Santa, and so on. That recognition of ‘Oh, I need a loan. We went to this event.’ It's just like going backwards. It’s important to make sure that you're always representing yourself in a way that you would be proud of, even if you weren't around.”
