Branding is more than a logo and business cards, it’s recognition, relevance and trust – it’s everything. If you want to be successful, keeping your branding fresh should always be a priority for your business. Don’t miss out on capturing new audiences’ attention because you haven’t invested in your brand, and don’t stay static in an ever-changing world. Don’t panic though, we’re here to guide you through.

Here are four reasons why branding is crucial for small businesses:

1. Be recognised 

As we’ve said, your branding goes beyond your logo. From Sticker Mule address labels and personalised poly mailers to your Facebook ads, having an eye-catching, consistent brand that represents your values and services will make people love your brand. You want people to know instantly what you do and become familiar with you. This way, you’ll always be their first pick – and they’ll come to you.

2. Be trusted 

With strong branding, customers’ trust in your authenticity and credibility will go up massively.  Your website is the best place to establish this trust, doing the hard work for you. If it looks good and sounds good, fitting with your branding, you have a winner on your hands. If your branding is inconsistent or bad quality, customers won’t trust your services.

3. Succeed with marketing

Your marketing strategy needs branding to decide its purpose, values and how it looks. Small businesses – usually with smaller budgets – need to work even harder to get their message out there. Nailing your branding will inform every part of your marketing while ensuring every single channel is cohesive.

4. Boost your team

Having a strong brand reinforces what your mission is. Employees like to feel pride in their business and will work harder if they believe in what they’re doing. Yup, it’s not just colours and fonts – this stuff really works. 

The golden rule: stay current 

Just as trends and tastes change over time, so too should your branding. Stay current and you’ll never lose out. Companies like Sticker Mule – providing tapes, labels and more that can help you change up your packaging whenever you change – let you easily adapt while always standing out.
