Your brand sets your business apart from your competitors. It's what makes you recognizable and memorable to your customers. That's why it's important to focus on branding when growing your business. These are the things you can do to make sure your brand is strong and effective:

Define your brand. What are your core values? What does your business stand for? How do you want to be perceived by your customers? Answering these questions will help you create a focused and cohesive brand identity.
