Best Uses
Branding is essential anywhere on the internet. Conventional marketing wisdom tells us that a person will recognize your brand after 7 impressions. Your subscriber forms should at least contain the basics of your brand: logo and color scheme. Using different colors not associated with your brand may confuse and deter potential subscribers.
