5 Compelling Reasons to Adopt a Simple Brand Identity

Image
What is brand identity? First and foremost, a brand identity is how your company presents itself to customers. Another way you can define brand identity is to think of it as all the components that help people differentiate your business from competitors. Things like a color scheme, tone, logo, tagline, font, or even your most popular, signature products can all help build a lasting brand identity. Why does brand identity matter? As a local business, you may be asking yourself, “Why does brand identity matter to me?”. Perhaps you’ve already reached your goal of ranking in the local pack.
