Differentiation
In any market there is competition. Having a distinct logo that is easily recognizable sets a company apart from its competitors. This helps consumers remember you even when your logo is out of sight. It is the first identifier that comes to mind when a consumer is trying to remember who offered a product they saw yesterday or last week.
Enhancement
Every business desires the perfect world business relationship of customer loyalty. Research indicates that by having a logo, businesses experience more commitment and loyalty from their clients. Logos provide business relationship enhancement by having a positive impact on consumers. This is connected to the the differentiation factor. By being easier to recognize and remember, the consumer’s psyche becomes convinced that your brand has more benefits to offer. A logo may only be symbolic but its positive impact is powerful, very real and quite tangible.
Performance
Companies who incorporate the use of an effective logo consistently experience better performance in revenues and profits. Consulting the services of a graphics designer and purchasing event flooring using custom printed trade show carpet with a logo design is an investment that promises long term rewards.
Visual Connection
Humans are visual creatures. This can be seen throughout history with powerful figures always having a visual symbol of some sort associated with their power and relevance. From the standards of Roman emperors to the flags of nations and pirates, when these symbols are seen the viewer immediately connects to certain qualities associated with the image.
Communication
Considering, then, the strong visual connection, a company must realize the powerful communication device a logo is. A logo is an effective mechanism to communicate the characteristics of a company such as strength, reliability, creativity, or innovation. It also represents a company’s principles such as family values, eco-friendly, humanitarian, etc. A company that sells dog collars would not want to use an image of a treefrog in their logo. However, if a company offers rainforest sustainability programs, a treefrog may be perfect.
The Carpet Extension
Although it may seem that most visitors to an exhibit booth would not even notice the event flooring beneath their feet, the reality is that a custom carpet featuring a brand logo will most definitely have a memorable impact. Having a custom carpet is more than having visual reinforcement of your logo and brand. The carpet ties your entire exhibit space together which strengthens the impact of all your other marketing materials. Colors coalescence while visual images and graphics imprint on the memories of visitors.
