Product: The totality of goods or services that a company makes available; output Brand: A set of distinctive characteristics that establish a recognizable image or identity of a person or thing. A really good product can still be replicated. A really good brand, however, has the power to distinguish that product from competitors. This is why a product is nothing without the support of a powerful brand. When a brand becomes strong, it conveys emotions that go beyond whatever product you are offering.
