Before we get into business branding and what exactly it means, let’s answer one question – Does your business need it? The answer is YES! All businesses benefit from positive branding and use it to their advantage. Nowadays, branding is everywhere we look. Most consumers aren’t even aware that every single product has branding associated with it. Adapting and keeping your brand fresh with the public eye will always be a continuous process. Companies that are focused on market trends and invest in their brand regularly will be the ones that have the advantage over their competitors.
A brand, in the most basic sense, is the idea of what you want your business to represent. How do you want consumers to feel when they purchase your products or communicate with your customer service staff? It can even include the experience they receive inside your company. All of those separate pieces put together make up this idea of what you want your company to represent. Then when someone hears your company’s name or sees your company’s logo, they will immediately think of your business and those feelings – that’s branding. It differentiates you from your competitors, builds trust, and keeps your customers returning.
The Importance of Business Branding
Like we said a second ago, branding isn’t just your name, logo, or company design, it’s how potential customers feel and react when they think of you. Building a positive brand image is important for developing a consumer base that will continue to return. Positive branding can help you stand out from your competitors. If you want your brand to be stronger and more positive than the competition, you can do that through graphic design, embroidery, screen printing, and promotional products.
Graphic Design
In the past, logos and brands have often thought to be the same, but that is not the case. Regardless, your logo makes up a big part of your brand.

A study by the Promotional Products Association International (PPAI) found that 88% of consumers were able to recall an advertiser from a promotional product that was received in the last year. Only 71% of people were able to recall written advertisements viewed in the previous week. This means that promotional products keep you fresh in a customer’s mind and they work a long way towards building your brand awareness.
Positive Business Branding Awareness
Logo Depot can help a lot with getting your company’s logo in front of the customer’s eyes, but it comes down to your business for building that positive brand image. When your employees are wearing their screen printed or embroidered apparel they need to make sure the customer has a positive experience – whether that be with customer service or receiving a quality product. When the customer is using your promotional pen, they are going to be thinking of your company, and it’s your job to make sure those thoughts are positive. Positive brand awareness will bring repeat customers and increase your chances of receiving referrals.
