When it comes to branding, it's easy to ignore the why of it. I mean, how important can it be to the success of your business, it's just a logo! Well...NO! Not only is branding so much more than a logo, its importance in the growth of your customer base can be phenomenal. Let's dive into the facts so that you can start to understand why. 

​1. A brand is a personality that identifies a product or service

Does your brand look thrown together, inconsistent and cheap? Then so does your business. Remember that this is the a customer's first interaction with your business, set a good example from the get go. When people expect more from your brand - they will pay more for your product or service. 

2. A signature colour can boost brand recognition by 80 percent. Consistent branding increases revenues by up to 23%

​People want an aesthetic that they can recognise. Whether you're posting branded content or not, people should be able to see your brand within the visual elements. Stop thinking that branding is just a logo, it's everything you put forth to your audience. Think colours, imagery, patterns and fonts. People are buying into the vibe you put forth, so make it a vibe that resonates with your dream customers and is consistent across the board.
