3 ways to make customers notice your brand

No matter what type of business you are in, the competition can be stiff. More and more entrepreneurs are entering the market and making it difficult for companies to get noticed. If you want to make sure that your company doesn’t get lost in the shuffle, promotional products are a great way to promote your brand and help customers to remember your business. Here are three great branding tips that will help you stand out:

1. Who is your customer?

The first step in creating any successful brand is to have a very clear idea of the type of customer you want to work with and exactly who you are trying to reach. Invest time in getting to know your target audience, figure out where you should be advertising and be sure to let them know why you are the best choice. Without clear goals, the task of branding can quickly get off track and take you down the wrong path. Once you know who your ideal customer is, look for promotional products that will be useful to your customer, that they will use time and time again.  This will ensure your branding message will have longevity.

2. Be Consistent

One major aspect of branding is creating a consistent image that your customers will become familiar with and associate with your business. Once you design a certain logo or header, be sure to use it in all of your advertising. Stick with a simple color palette that doesn’t exceed more than five essential colors and don’t go too crazy with the fonts. You want to keep your branded products simple and clean yet easily recognizable. While this isn’t necessarily an easy task, making your designs more complicated with colors and texts isn’t the way to get the job done. Logos and designs that are too complicated may be too small or difficult to read on some promotional products.

3. Work with Professionals

New businesses that are looking to save money often cut corners when it comes to design aspects. They take a look at a few websites, try to design products themselves and buy based on price. Unfortunately, it isn’t as easy as it looks and when you consider the importance and longevity of the visual aspects of your company, it is well worth the investment to hire a professional company who can create quality products that will help customers remember your brand.

As with any other aspect of your business, be sure to take a strategic and measured approach to creating a distinct brand. The payoff will be huge and well worth it when you are able to stand out from the competition and attract potential customers. Professional and engaging visuals can act as an integral part of your successful business.
