Business Branding

Your business needs to stand out and customers need to easily remember you. This is where business brand becomes vital.

A business brand can be seen as a representation of the business owner or reflection of an owner’s values.

A brand is a gut instinct or intuition or an immediate feeling people have about a company product or service. It’s what your customers and staff members think about your business.

On a more practical sense successful branding can be seen within the business itself through consistent and repetitive use via it’s:

Website
Business Logo
Business Cards
Social Media
Apparel
Vehicle Signage

A great brand positions a business among competitors. For smaller businesses, if done correctly, great branding can create an even playing field so to compete with larger established ones.

Arguably, all else being equal, if your brand is professional you could charge for products and services in accordance with how good your brand LOOKS. (Did we say - all else being equal)

If you are looking for customers to engage with your business and keep them coming back, Digicol can help!

We do Branding and we are good at it

Starting with logo design we can assist by selecting illustrations, fonts, photos, colours and our graphic designer can create something unique to your business.

I understand from a message on Neighbourly yesterday that there was a flood which destroyed many books which had already been donated.

I dropped off some books about midday today and was concerned to see that the drop-off point was not at all well protected from the weather.

There was also a sign which stated what sort of books NOT wanted, but this was too late to be taken into consideration.

The organisers need to put more information on their website so that people donating know in advance. I am sad to think that some of my quite valuable books may be damaged before the book fair even happens.
