Smiling is the key to understanding your audience, or at least gaining insight into their character.

Charm and smiles can be applied to marketing and branding as well you know, and you’ll be surprised by its results.

How people, or brands, make you feel is quite often the deciding factor when choosing whether or not to interact. A smiling face versus a grumpy grimace, we know who we’d go with…
The face of the brand is not the only contributor however. If the employees within the company consist of happy, optimistic, positive individuals, the ripple effect is massive. Great customer service, repeat customer, word of mouth and job satisfaction, which in turn increase profits, clients and business.
A feeling will be remembered more so than words, you may not remember the name, but the smile the other party has to offer helps memorise the personality of the smiling person, thus helping him/her remember them.
Before simply telling others to smile, you must first start smiling yourself, set the example for others to follow.
