Branding details

Branding yourself is an important step in creating your online and offline business identity. Often times this process of 'brand building' can seem confusing and time consuming. While it is true that building your unique brand can take time and tremendous effort, the process can be accomplished with the help of people with the experience to do so, like me :)


I offer many services that can help you launch your brand and take you to the level you need to be at to be on your way to success. We can set up a schedule, slow or fast to accommodate your brand launch time frame and get you operational.

Branding services:

Website:
One of the more costly aspects for any small business owner is getting their website created. This process can take many hours and cost thousands of dollars. Once the coding is complete, making changes and upgrades can cost many more dollars and hours.
I am able to adapt blogging services into websites at a fraction of the cost. Since blogs are free to own, the cost is in the creation process, not the coding. This cuts the time down and brings the cost into very manageable amounts. This method allows updating of the site info within hours of it being written and photos can be easily added. For an example of what a site of this type can look like, review my own site or the examples provided at the end of this article.


Favicon Creation:

A favicon is the small image located on the tab of an open browser window. As part of my service I will create a custom favicon for your new website.






Logo:
A logo is a graphic mark or emblem commonly used by commercial enterprises, organizations and even individuals to aid and promote instant public recognition. Logos are either purely graphic (symbols/icons) or are composed of the name of the organization (a logotype or wordmark).

When creating your logo it is important to achieve the best possible design that conveys your idea. Your logo will be present on all aspects of your marketing both digital and printed.


As part of my branding service I offer full logo creation. The advantage to this is that I will be creating all aspects of your brand which guarantees that all digital and printed materials will have a seamless and flowing consistency.

Business Cards:

Every business person needs an effective, clean and easily understood business card. The ability to easily give your contact information is crucial to getting connected. Once elements of your brand are created upon such as colour and over all theme, your business card will become a recognizable aspect of your marketing campaigns, matching the design of all other materials.


Pamphlets & Stationary:

Many business use pamphlets and stationary as marketing elements. Pamphlets often convey ideas or promote individual marketing campaigns. Stationary can be used by potential clients and will often contain elements similar to your business card, perhaps even a witty quote or picture.


Social Media Connectivity:

In todays digital world, both Facebook and Twitter are becoming necessary targets for marketing your goods and services. It is vital to utilize these services. Having your website connected to both your Facebook Fan Page and Twitter account keeps your business in the forefront of current trends. Your clients will easily be able to stay informed.
I will guide you through Facebook Fan Page and Twitter account creation. Those accounts will be connected to your website allowing all visitors to easily 'like' your Facebook Fan Page or follow your Twitter account.


Domain Connectivity:
It is vital that all business have an internet presence. Owning a custom domain name is an easy and cost effective way to show your clients that your business is both professional and current. If you already own a domain name, it can easily be programmed to point to the website I create. If you need a domain name I can work with you to purchase one and show you how to manage it.


Custom QR Codes:

QR codes are an emerging method of advertising utilizing the theories of augmented reality. The power of these codes permits the person scanning them to access many kinds of information such as website links, simple text and even online coupons. Many businesses are having custom codes created to match their brand. I understand how these codes function and am able to customize them to flow with your marketing theme.

Promotional T-shirts and Hoodies:
Many people enjoy giving or selling clothing that has their logo or other designs on them. As part of my branding service I can create a design for your clothing needs with the option of hosting it on my own store.


Using my Print On Demand system (POD) you don't need to pay for the initial design. Once you receive paid orders for your clothing you simply order the needed quantity adding your commission (which includes my commission). The cost of the clothing is built into the initial order, so you never need to front any money unless you want to pre-order. Additionally, the more you order the better your bulk discount. Contact me for more info.
Check out my own store for examples.


Brand Maintenance/Consulting:
Maintenance: After your brand is created and launched you will need updates and maintenance. After a time you may want to change your digital and printed materials. As part of my branding services I am available to affect all changes as needed. My fees for this are separate from the branding fees but the advantage is that I am fully familiar with the entire brand and how to alter it quickly and effectively.
