One of the exciting parts about marketing is the ability to be original and creative especially as a small business owner. However if you just copy what someone else does it can harm your brand and confuse your customers.

You are so right about emulation and that is the way most of us learn effectively.
I think you are doing great things and I am learning about creativity from you, so thank you.

I agree with you that it is not a good idea to copy. It just looks bad. But emulation is another thing entirely. When we see something that works, it can be a very beneficial thing to model our idea after something that has already proven successful. In that way, we don't have to re-invent the wheel.
As a total novice in business myself, I have done a lot of emulation with a fair degree of success. It is about looking to experts, seeing their tried and true ideas and using parts.
Great thought-provoking post!
