It is very necessary that detail should be the number one factor whenever you are making a decision on what should be part of the visual appearance of your minimalist products.

For the purpose of getting the ideal minimalist product or service appearance, a basic design that focuses on the color scheme, balance, and typography should be in place, this will help in making a brand to be really minimal.

The main purpose of having an attractive visual appearance of a product or service is to attract customers or consumers even when don't need the product. Furthermore, consumers' loyalty can be quickly achieved with a minimal design, as it helps the consumer to be able to pick out the product from a bunch of other products.

Consumer

This arouses customers' curiosity, making the product more memorable, leading to more customers more sales and more profit.

A major example is the Apple Company; this brand uses the minimalist strategy. From all their products to the designs they use across marketing and services, minimalism is a pattern they have sustained and continuously achieved success and fame. Customers are always wanting the latest Apple products, this is because they have been able to gain consumers trust from their previous products, and these consumers believe a new product from them will have more advanced features compared to their previous products.
