I wasn't sure I could pull it off, but I think it worked. And I've heard from some people in really challenging personal branding situations since posting it! Regarding the cans, my theory is that it's cheaper to print all one style of label and then just stamp the product name on small batches rather than to have a different full-color label for beets and one for potatoes. But who knows? Those are all good ideas! Thanks for the link love, Rick! I wasn’t sure I could pull it off, but I think it worked.

I remember talking with you on this - it is a difficult thing to do. Did you go read Kristen's post? She really has a number of very good, very practical ideas and techniques. Highly recommended. Let me know if those samples turn up! Hey there JP, long time no see! I remember talking with you on this – it is a difficult thing to do. Did you go read Kristen’s post?

I share the same last and a different spelling of my first name with an individual that lives within 3 miles of my house. We share the same pharmacy, talk about an eye opening experience. I thought it was bad with a theologian in Ohio publishing books with the same name spelling. Or the beer producer in Maine that shares my last name. What a small world. PS. I need to call the beer company, maybe some free samples. Rick, on the what if your name is Jenna Jameson.

Because they are <em>so</em> plain, they scream "budget goods". Definitely not interesting to look at. Brad I think you hit it about appealing to the pocketbook.

Do you think they were trying to stand out from the crowd by going as plain as possible? Or could they be appealing to the pocketbook? These products do look cheap!
