Tip 30: Proliferate your brand by linking to memorable phrases, images and positive
brand benefits.

designed advert.

Tip 32: Consider how your customers relate to your brand? Is it immediately apparent what
you’re about?

in a language the customer understands.

customer not you.

http://socialbubble.global

are you better?
http://socialbubble.global
Tip 40: Use contrast in design layout to emphasize the message.
