My old boss told me to stop putting our logo on invoices, and a client in Austin called it 'cold' 6 months later
Back in 2021 I ran a small landscaping brand and my boss kept saying the logo on every invoice and email was 'overkill.' I cut it down to just the estimate sheets. Then a repeat client in Austin emailed me saying our invoices felt like a random bill from a stranger, and he almost switched to a company that actually 'looked like a real business.' Cost me about $1,200 in rework and a lot of apologizing to get him back. Anyone else ever had a client judge your whole brand off one boring touchpoint like an invoice?
Wait, your boss was the one who told you to cut the logo, not the client? Sounds like the lesson here is that a plain invoice can make people feel like they are dealing with a total stranger, but the real issue was your boss not getting how branding works.
