10 More Reasons a Logo Is Important:

1) Meeting expectations is one of the golden rules of good customer service. Today’s marketplace is as competitive as ever, and consumers are more savvy with higher expectations. It is common for people to expect companies to have a logo and well-defined brand image, even dental offices. Why not exceed those expectations with an exceptional and custom logo?
2) Smart marketing is a vital element to a good business plan, and dentistry is no exception. Strategic business planning for growth and success will include the development of marketing graphics and materials, beginning with a logo. This will help your business look and be more complete.
3) Speaking of complete, a logo also helps you look established. Especially for start-up practices, a logo can visually contribute to looking like you’ve got it together. From day one, you want people in your community to get the feeling that you are a serious presence.
4) Any campaign to attract new patients needs to communicate a “look and feel” that matches potential patients’ criteria for a dental office and its benefits. To start with, a logo succinctly expresses the look and feel of your practice in one graphic. This is a solid basis for an identifiable and easily understood brand image.
5) Consistent graphics and design style, including consistent branding with your logo, promotes “top of mind” awareness in the minds of consumers. People are more likely to remember your office and advertising when you repeatedly show them a logo to remember. Visual triggers aid in ad recall.
6) Building and maintaining trust is a huge part of building and growing your patient base. A logo can help patients feel a greater sense of stability about your office. Even a brand new practice appears more stable and connected with consumers with a logo and evident brand image.
7) There are only so many ways to say dentistry and smiles with words. A logo takes advantage of visual perception to differentiate you from your competition. It can even convey subtle meanings about your practice philosophy and the feel of your office. From its overall layout to its color combination, a logo’s design composition can actually say quite a bit about your practice.
8) A memorable logo and easy practice name can help endear your practice to patients. A hard-to-remember or difficult-to-pronounce last name can be a roadblock for potential patients. If you have a tricky-to-say last name, an easy practice name and friendly logo can really hit the spot. You want to remove as many barriers to people calling your office as you can!
9) On top of endearing your practice to patients, a memorable logo and practice name makes your practice image bigger than your individual identity as a dentist. Of course you are an essential part of your practice, but you want your brand to represent your practice as a whole.
