Customer Experience
A brand is a person’s gut feeling about a product, service, or company. When you think of your brand, you think about the whole customer experience. Think of your logo, website, social media, the way you answer the phone, and the service you are providing. People have too many choices and too little time. Your brand needs to set you apart from any competition. Customer’s base buying on trust, reputation, credibility, stability, and loyalty. A strong brand not only allows you to keep your loyal customers base, it also allows you to target and attract new customers.
