Business owners of all industries have experienced intense change and uncertainty during the last year. As we’ve learned to adapt to changing markets, supply shortages, and an increasingly online marketplace, many aspects of business ownership have fallen by the wayside. As we start to rebuild and return to a new normal, it’s important to remember the priorities that we have set aside during the last year.
One such priority is product labeling. Though labels may seem like a small aspect of your product, they actually have the power to make or break your entire industry.
Below are some reasons that product labeling is essential to running a successful business enterprise.

1. Labels Solidify Your Brand
Perhaps the most important way that labels can affect your business is by solidifying your brand. Cohesive branding is essential to creating customer recognition and loyalty. If your labels are generic, or if they don’t accurately reflect your company’s brand, customers are unlikely to associate your product with your business’s values and model.
Let’s say that your company produces sustainably sourced CBD. If you don’t have a cohesive brand that extends to your product labels, consumers won’t see your CBD and remember your sustainability promise. They’ll just see another CBD product and will likely be uninspired to pick yours over another company.
2. Labels Sell Your Product
It’s incredible how many people end up making product decisions based on the label alone. Because the market is saturated with choices, many products end up being fairly similar in ingredients and price. When consumers are comparing two products with similar price tags and no discernable difference in quality, they are likely to simply choose the one with the better label.
3. Labels Sing Your Praises
Many companies have things that make them great. However, without proper research, many customers don’t know about these great qualities. Take the CBD example from above. Being a sustainably sourced company is wonderful, and this could very well be a selling point for your product. However, if your labels are generic and don’t include information about sustainability efforts, how are customers supposed to know what sets you apart? You have to remember that many consumers are finding your products on store shelves or online retailers like Amazon, so your company information is not always included. Labels can bridge that information gap and ensure that you are capitalizing on your desired market.
