So you’ve had your million dollar idea. You know what you can bring to the market that your competitors aren’t doing. You’ve bought your domains and you’re ready to start your business, but you’re short on capital and you’re wondering if you should bite the bullet and invest in branding it, when you can just get a logo made for almost nothing online… 

This is why you should consider taking the time and investing in your brand:

  1. Like everything, branding is a speciality (and a passion) that goes way beyond designing a logo. As such, you need to get the right person on board who can help shape and communicate the right story.

  2. In a crowded market, it’s important to stand out and be authentic. This is incredibly nuanced, because you don’t want to stand out for the wrong reasons. Your brand needs to reflect your business values and personality. 

  3. Branding is a holistic experience, it’s what people say about your business when you’re not in the room. It manifests in different forms and mediums and you need to get the expertise in delivering the right message for the right platform.

  4. Good branding stands the test of time. It has longevity and it should not follow trends. You can only achieve good branding, when it’s telling the right story for the right audience.

  5. Ultimately, you want to connect with your audience and add value to their lives with your business. When done right, branding is not only your ‘shop window’, but also your way of creating that connection and loyalty with your niche through storytelling.
