But what is brand awareness, and why does it matter so much for ecommerce success? In this guide, we'll break down what it means, how it fuels business growth, and the practical steps you can take to strengthen brand recognition using both organic and paid marketing strategies. Key takeaways Brand awareness reflects how familiar people are with your brand, product, or service. It influences purchase decisions, customer loyalty, and word-of-mouth marketing.
