Why Branding Is an Important Element to Your Business

Julie Starr • July 8, 2021



The ability to be unique, trustworthy, reliable, and creative as a business will be important if you truly want to succeed. One of the key areas you will need to establish is your business branding and logo. This is what will help define and represent your business, so it will be important to get it right. 

Makes You Memorable 

There is going to be a lot of competition you will need to overcome in the area of business you decide to focus on. As a result, you need to be unique from your competitors and stand out. So whether it is a catchy slogan , a memorable brand logo or tagline, this is what is going to stand out in consumers’ minds when they are searching for what they want. 

Allows You to Remain Relevant 

A hot topic for a lot of businesses at the moment is the notion of sustainability and how to be more environmentally friendly . When you are finalizing your brand it will also be important if you combine an element of this relevance into your image. Whether it is the inclusion of a logo that demonstrates that you are using recyclable materials or a statement on your website that you care about fair and ethical working conditions. This will enable consumers to see that you are doing as much as you can to be more eco-friendly, which could help as an incentive to drive more sales forward. 

Creates Trust Within Your Sector

Once consumers start to learn about your business and purchase services or goods from you, you are then able to establish yourself as a trustworthy, reliable brand to the consumers who are more likely to repurchase from you if they had a positive experience. As a result, this solidifies your position within the sector as a trustworthy business, whose popularity will only grow even more. 

Establishes a Rapport With the Consumer

Once you attract your target audience to your business and they begin to purchase from you, you are establishing a rapport with the consumer. This enables you to build up trust and reliability which will encourage the consumer to remain loyal to your brand. Once they are loyal they are more likely to recommend you to other consumers, enabling you to expand your customer base. 

Ensuring Your Brand Is Protected 

Though the use of the internet is of course a great invention, it can in another sense be a bit of a hindrance. This is particularly true with online counterfeits who steal the brand and logo from reputable businesses in the hope of making money. In order to protect your business from any fraudulent behavior it is a good idea to have a Brand protection solution in place in an attempt to discourage this from happening and to save any potential financial loss. You have worked hard to establish your business and branding so it is certainly important to protect it.

By Julie Starr • April 28, 2025
As blockchain continues to gain traction in sustainability circles—from tracking carbon credits to improving supply chain transparency—more organizations are exploring how these emerging tools might support their ESG goals. But with innovation comes complexity, and for many stakeholders, blockchain still feels like a black box. That’s where communication becomes essential. At Taiga Company, we work with clients to simplify complex sustainability narratives without oversimplifying the value.

6 Things All Modern Businesses Need in 2025

By Julie Starr • April 22, 2025
If you’re starting your own business, then you know all too well that it’s equally an exciting and overwhelming time. There’s so much to think about, and you want to get it right from day one. But it doesn’t have to be as overwhelming as you might think. Let’s go through everything your new business needs to hit the ground running this year. A Clear Business Plan Before anything else, take the time to figure out your game plan. This doesn’t need to be a long, boring document that you’ll never look at again. Think of it as a simple guide that answers three key questions: Who are you selling to? What are you offering? And how are you going to get noticed? Once you’ve written that down, you can always tweak it as your business grows. From a communications standpoint, clarity on your audience and value proposition also sets the foundation for authentic brand storytelling—something Taiga Company helps clients refine at every stage. Responsible Financial Management Money is one of those things that can make or break a business. The good news is you don’t need a finance degree to get it right. Start with a simple budget. Know how much is coming in, what’s going out, and what you’re setting aside. Think about things like stock, marketing, bills and wages if you’re hiring. Keep it realistic and keep it updated. Doing this from day one will make life much easier later. Reliable Cloud Services In 2025, storing everything on your laptop isn’t really a safe bet. Files go missing, computers break, and you don’t want to lose important stuff. That’s where cloud services come in. They keep your files secure, backed up and easy to access from anywhere. Whether it’s documents, customer info or creative work, having it all saved online gives you peace of mind. And when you're building a business in a digital-first world, having secure, accessible assets also means your team can collaborate more efficiently across channels—essential for strong communications. Flexible Payment Options Most people don’t carry cash anymore, so if you’re only accepting it, you’re going to lose sales. Get yourself a card reader that takes all the usual stuff like debit cards, credit cards, contactless and Apple Pay. The easier you make it for someone to pay you, the more likely they are to buy. Simple as that. A Basic Website Even if you’re not selling online, you still need a website. It doesn’t have to be fancy. Just something that tells people who you are, what you do, and how they can contact you. Think of your site as your digital front door. If someone hears about your business, chances are they’ll look you up online. Make sure what they find actually helps them. A clear website is also one of the most powerful communication tools your business has. We work with clients to ensure their digital presence reflects their story, purpose, and value. A Way to Spread the Word You can’t rely on people just stumbling across your business. You’ve got to put yourself out there. Social media is a great start, but don’t stop there. Think email newsletters , posters in your local area or even just chatting about your work whenever it comes up naturally. The more you talk about your business, the more others will too. Starting a business in 2025 is a big move, but it doesn’t have to feel impossible. Get the basics in place, stay flexible and keep learning. With the right tools and the right message, you can build momentum and create connection. Taiga Company helps growing businesses translate operational essentials into brand trust and long-term impact.
