Branding on a Budget
Branding is extremely important if you want people to recognize and trust your product. However, most small businesses don’t have a lot of money to put into branding. Let’s take a look at how small businesses can brand their business on a budget.
- Understand your audience. Before making any attempt to brand your business you must first develop a comprehensive understanding of who your audience is. This will help you optimize your efforts as well as any money that you spend.
- Focus on quality across every facet of building your organization. Start with a product or service that your customers really want or need.
- Create a standout logo. An experienced graphic designer can help you create a logo that lets people know exactly what you and your company stands for. An effective logo is functional, aesthetic, original, timeless and simple.
- Create a slogan. A good slogan is short and sticks in people’s minds, constantly reminding them both consciously and unconsciously of your product.
- Come up with an elevator pitch. An elevator pitch is a short pitch that answers the question of what you do.
- Make sure that your online presence is consistent with your offline brand. Elements such as color scheme, typeface and wording should be consistent.
- Capitalize on social media. Social media is free and there are many platforms. Figure out where your target consumers are spending their time and focus your efforts there.
