Congratulations! You’re starting a business! Or, maybe you’re reimagining your current company–either way, big things are happening!
Your company identity is vital to improving your ability to attract, retain, and build a customer base. As humans, we are incredibly visual creatures. It’s all (or mostly) about attraction. Your visual identity is the magnet that’s either going to attract or repel potential customers.
We’ll further discuss the impact of your brand’s first impression next time, but for now we’ll just focus on the importance of establishing an identity and on the materials you’ll need to support it.
