Consistency

Be Transparent

People like when brands are honest to its market. They wouldn’t like dishonesty as a mean to gain trust. If your brand always attempts to be truthful and honest, people will put their trust in you. For example, if your brand advertises a free product, don’t surprise them with hidden fees. This strategy may work, but you will lose your customers’ trust in return. Or if you plan to raising you price, give them the reasons. As long as you’re telling the truth, people’s trust will not be affected.
