USE THE LOGO & SUPPORT THE NCDA
As a long-standing member of the Association, The Sameday Company never misses an opportunity to display the NCDA logo, which builds trust and credibility with its target audience.
Logos or trust badges from industry associations and accrediting bodies, such as the NCDA, demonstrate that a business meets certain standards and has a good reputation within its industry. Consumers are then more likely to choose a brand that aligns with these values and holds industry-recognised certifications.
So, The Sameday Company displays the logo within its offices, on stationary, emails, websites, vans, and sponsorship boards, like the one recently placed at a local football club.
Our logo can have a big impact on a customer's perception of your business, building confidence and encouraging them to engage with you, so use it wherever you can and tag us on all your social media activities.
