What is a logo?
It is a combination of visual imagery and text that represents the name of your company and the nature of your business. A strong logo emanates a business image that stands for visibility and credibility.
Would you do business with a company without a logo? Of course, not! Before anything else, you’d have serious concerns about the work it does and its reliability in the industry. Having a poorly-designed logo or no logo at all means you don’t take your business seriously.
Design Management Institute reports design-driven companies outperform S&P by 228% in a span of ten years.
Are you putting off the process of creating a logo for your new business till you bag a few projects or achieve some recognition? Don’t. You are making a huge mistake. In fact, don’t wait and get a logo right away!
PS. If you’re running an online store on Shopify or any other platform, you can create a logo using Hatchful by Shopify – here’s a guide.
Reasons why your small business needs a logo
1) Your business will look professional
Even if you use a DIY logo for the time being but switch to something more professional a few months later, your partners and customers will get confused. They will wonder “is it the same company we do business with?” or “have the business owners changed?”. Either way, it doesn’t send a good signal outside.
That’s why do a bit of R&D, invest in a proper branding strategy and design a logo that stands for your business. If you send out a message of professionalism to prospective customers, they will trust you more.
2) Your business will attract more customers easily
You may not have been in business since “1901” but if you have a logo you will stay relevant in the eyes of your customers. 65% of people remember what they see than what they hear or read. When you reinforce the name, the colour of your logo, they are more likely to remember you. When this happens, it gives you a competitive edge and increases your chances of getting more clients on board.
3) Your business will sound more credible
In this day and age, no one wants to work with a company that doesn’t take itself seriously. Branding is a key factor that defines the growth and success of any business. You may have the best of infrastructure, services, and offerings. But a logo is like an icing on the cake. Without a logo, potential customers will doubt your product or service offerings.
4) Your business will stand out in the field
A logo says a lot about your company, its mission and services offered. It embraces the personality of your business and spells it out through visual imagery. A well designed logo can put you far ahead in the competition; make sure you get it right the first time.
