Branding is not what you say about your company and products; it's about your customers' perception of your company and products. Marketing a memorable and trustworthy brand reinforces customer loyalty. It helps them remember that your business provides the perfect solution to their problems.

Branding is more than product recognition or a simple logo. It is the overall intellectual and emotional impression people have when they think of your company and its product. It is a strong and consistent message about the value of your business.

Brand name is an important strategy when it comes to product marketing. Well known brands are those that have lasted over the years and it usually follows that the longer a brand has been standing the higher the quality it offers.

Splitting a branding project typically results in a lack of consistency between pieces in your marketing kit. All of your brand materials should have similar design elements.

Why a small business shouldn't design a logo that's only a symbol (like Nike's swoosh).

I often get asked to develop a small business's logo as a symbol-only logo. But for many small businesses, this isn't the right choice for a couple of reasons.
