What does branding mean for your business?

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos once said, “Your brand is what people say about you when you're not in the room.” When done right, a brand increases business value, generates new customers, keeps old customers, creates trust and gets recognition.

A brand includes your website, advertising, stationery and merchandise, but arguably one of the most important elements is the logo. This is the first thing that your customers will see and plays a crucial role in influencing decision making. It takes just 400 milliseconds  for your brain to absorb the information and produce a response.

Building your brand should be an integral part of your marketing plan. It involves researching your competitors and understanding your customers. Check out our advice section to find out more about how to market your business
