3 tips for refreshing your branding
Look at businesses you admire for their branding. What speaks to you? What tells you immediately it’s that particular company? What shows love?
Now apply those thoughts to your own business:
1. Look at your logo
Did you design your logo yourself in a hurry, or get a bargain-basement logo designer to do it for you? Maybe you just needed something that worked while you launched your business. It was great at the time, and it served its purpose. But now your business is growing and it’s really not hitting the mark anymore.
Is it time to step it up a notch? A few tweaks by a professional designer can make all the difference.
2. What are your brand colours?
Do you know what your brand colours are? Can people tell it’s you straightaway, just from a glance? Have a think about how you tie together your logo and the colour palette you use on your website, social media, marketing materials – even your emails.
If your messaging is confusing visually, you’re making it harder for people to connect emotionally with your brand. Make sure you’ve got a defined colour palette and that you apply it consistently throughout your marketing.
3. What do your fonts say about you?
As well as your logo and colours, the fonts you use speak volumes. If you’re not consistently using the same fonts, you’re missing an important branding tool. Maybe you use the default font on your website and the default fonts Canva gives you – which can be different every time.
Fonts are another visual clue to your business and what it stands for, so make sure you pick one or two that represent you – and use them consistently. Using a jaunty font one day and a gothic one another won’t help you build connection with your audience. Staying consistent and reflecting your business personality will.
Love your business by embracing your brand!
By investing in your brand and marketing materials you’re giving your business a strong foundation from which to grow.
