Building your brand name is more like building relationships with your customers. Your Business MUST tell its story to the world. You have to familiarize people with what it does and how it solves their problems.

Brand familiarity ultimately leads to brand loyalty.

Take the example of the good old iPhone. It is crazy that though there are just minor updates in the new iPhone 13, several models of iPhone13 were already sold out before the launch date!
