Can you think of a brand that doesn’t have brand authority? The answer is the brand that is not online or on social media.
As of now most of the population is using digital platforms to help them make buying decisions.
They will try to go on their website and social media pages to check their presence and how much people love the brand.
The days are gone when if anyone recommended a product or service one would buy it.
Now people look at reviews, comments, and what others have to say about their products and services.
