Logos and How it is Critical to Online Business Success

Logos. Gone are the days where businesses go by with just names found on the local telephone directory. All print. Black and White. None threatening. The 21st century race to brand recognition has evolved to a whole new level with the help of search engine optimization, digital marketing and social media technology. Your company logo is important, especially for internet marketing. It is the biggest asset a company has in maintaining public following.

Notice in Facebook, the ad is simply the company logo itself. Why? Marketers have learned from traditional strategic marketing how important branding is. No matter where you go, far and wide, from roadside billboards to your mobile phone ads, from online clothing line catalogs to freelance work opportunities, logos define the identity of a business. Logos help sell the products and services.

Platforms like LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook capitalize on reaching its customer base and to

provide the current brand-conscious society tips on who to trust, where to buy, what to watch out for, what’s hot, what’s not and where to get the best service a mouse click away.

Keeping the masses from looking elsewhere and ensuring continuous patronage of a brand begins with recognition. With all these said, we can now talk about how critical logos are to online businesses. A logo must represent everything about a company, its ideals, its credibility, its stability, its style and the market it caters to, the business services it offers, the products it represents and the immediate way it can be differentiated from its competitors.

In this race to retain recognition on the information super highway, a company must have something to represent it by. It must have a strategic marketing edge. Hence, the company’s most important asset is its logo. Online businesses have a need to define their image, instead of a physical address like in the days of ol’we used to find on the yellow page directory book, through substitution of a logo, we now have visible image a company can use for people to associate it to.

Investing on the perfect business logo to represent your company has to be well planned and thought off. It will help clarify to the masses that your unique selling point (USP) has no substitute. It is should relay to the followers or valued customers the story of your brand, how the company evolved to what it is today. The logo places a company on a more personal level with its target market. Through the evolution of social media platforms like Twitter, Google, Bing, Facebook, LinkedIn among others, a company logo will remain to be the umbrella of all marketing strategies a company can use to keep close contact of its target market through the ages.
