Description
This initiative is set up to create a strong brand for the organization. We want a symbol that the members and the outside world can identify us with. So far, the branding process involves:
- A Universal Logo for all the Bootstrap Network
 - A seal that can be used on bootstrap products and services
 
Why is branding important?
- It gives us a clear visual of who is part of this network
 - Motivates members to bond and connect with each other more
 - Gives hope and strength to bootstrappers that they are not alone
 - Selling Bootstrap paraphenelia generates revenue
 
What do we want to start with?
- Printing stickers that bootstrappers can place at the door of their establishment like a BBB sticker, use as bumper stickers or for for their laptops for example.
 - Get discount tags that members can get discounts for shopping at bootstrappers businesses.
 - Print t-shirts
 - Get a website up that is user friendly and of course has logos on them.
 
When and where do we want to do this by?
- This needs to be rolled out by March 12th at SXSW!
 
Why?
- Bootstrappers are already participating in the festival.
 - It will gives the network great visibility at a venue where thousands of people are going to be there for three days.
 - We are already launching Bootstrap Karma and Bijoy/Kevin are doing a Bootstrap talk at the event.
