I couldn’t stop staring at his shoes

I notice details most people miss.

 

A crooked tile, an uneven edge, a fixture slightly off. That’s why when we built our home, I found Bob, a contractor who didn’t just build. He executed every detail with precision.

 

From wiring to plumbing, tiling to custom carpentry, every part of our home was executed with precision and care. Bob works with his son, passing on a legacy of excellence.

Last week, while reviewing an upcoming project with Bob, my gaze fell to his feet – and what I saw, stopped my breath.

 

➡️ His sneakers. Completely wrapped in duct tape.

➡️ Not once. Not twice. Completely wrapped around.

➡️ Like an art project gone spectacularly wrong.

 

Bob, a master craftsman producing flawless, beautiful work, was walking around in shoes that looked like they belonged in a dumpster.

Branding starts at the sole.

And then it hit me.

This is what so many businesses look like.

 

Every ounce of care poured into their work. Flawless operations, top-notch service – yet their brand? Worn. Patched. Duct-taped together.

Branding is your shoes.

It’s what people notice before they see your skill.

 

At Better Co., we ensure your brand reflects the excellence you deliver.

 

Because duct tape might hold your sneakers together.

But it won’t uphold your business.

Sneaker smells sell. Some high end sneaker brands deliberately scent their boxes so opening them is a sensory experience. Branding is more than sight. It’s smell, touch and feeling. The strongest brands are felt, not just seen.
