What is a business brand?
Traditional branding defines who you are: mission, logo, and message. Retail branding goes further, incorporating that identity across every part of the shopping experience, from your store layout to your social media.
This particular guide focuses on retail branding as a full lifecycle — not just the creative assets.
Why is branding important in retail?
No matter what type of business you own, your brand matters because it represents a commitment to your customers. Internally, establishing a strong brand gives you a guiding light when it comes to making decisions about your business, whether you’re wondering how to decorate your store or what to write for an Instagram caption.
Your brand is made up of decisions you make early on, but it’s also something you’re constantly working to improve and promote.
