You probably recognize this: you spend hours perfecting your product text, shooting stunning product photos, and fine-tuning your logo. But as soon as it comes to the “About Me” page, or that photo of yourself on the homepage, you might hesitate. “Doesn’t my product speak for itself?” or “Do people really care about my face?”. But did you know that customers actually want to buy from you?<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nothing could be further from the truth. Especially as a starting entrepreneur, you are your most important asset. In this blog post, we’ll explain why hiding behind your logo is a waste of revenue, and how you can effortlessly create that personal connection.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tell your own story<\/font><\/font><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let’s face it: chances are there are others selling or doing roughly the same thing as you. In a world overflowing with options, the product is often the reason people search, but you’re the reason they stay and make a purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When a potential customer sees the driving force behind your company, a human connection is instantly created. People don’t buy from a business registration number; they buy from someone they feel comfortable with. Your passion, your smile, and even your unique personality create a trust factor that a large, anonymous organization can never match. Creating a strong corporate identity that truly reflects your personality is incredibly helpful.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s even scientifically proven: our brains are programmed to recognize faces incredibly quickly. In a fraction of a second, we scan a photo to determine whether we can trust someone. This is what we call “social proof.”<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n\n\n\n
