Brand is the "name, term, design, symbol, or any other feature that identifies one seller's product distinct from those of other sellers". Initially, brand was adopted to differentiate one person's cattle from another's by means of a distinctive symbol burned into the animal's skin with a hot iron stamp, and was subsequently used in business, marketing and advertising. It is intended to identify the products or services of one seller or one group of sellers and to differentiate products from their competitors. In other words, the brand is treated as the symbol of the actual product. Brands are printed on the surfaces of the products, packages and directions, and are hanged in public places. With the development of economy, brand may be a kind of economic symbol more than a mark of the product or service. Band plays an important role in the trading, and its significance is realized by many companies.
