Good brands take root in the brain. Everyday, we are inundated with thousands of logos, advertisements, and images on a daily basis, but there are always a few that stand out more than others. The frequency that we see these ads and the quality and likeness of the images that we are exposed to both play important roles in this experience. People remember things that they like and feel endeared or aligned with. As the market becomes more crowded with other businesses vying for the attention of your customers, you must work extra hard to be remembered and to stand out!

It begins with identifying what makes you unique and then telling your compelling story in a memorable way. By spending well-earned time and money to cultivate a brand for your business, you’re investing in the equity or long-term value of your company. You are also communicating to your potential customers that you are professional, thoughtful and that your products or services have a high value. A professional presentation and cohesive brand elements lead customers to believe that you have enough capital to bolster your business and that you care about making the very best first impression. In other words, what people think of your business and what it can do for them matters!

A strong brand is integral to all aspects of your marketing efforts. Not only does a consistently presented brand affect the way people remember your business, but it also shows that you’re a valuable entity, not just a company. That said, a logo in itself won’t change your business – you have to prove to the marketplace that you can deliver on your promises rain or shine! How your brand is perceived is contingent on the promises that you make (and fulfill). If you have a brand that consistently exemplifies your story and makes people think of your business as a trusted, credible partner, or better yet, makes them feel special or cared for, they’re more likely to think of you when they require services that you provide. Remember – recognition and connection mean revenue.

Lastly, the number one rule of branding is frequency and consistency. Using this business brand guideline, you must stay fiercely true to them and use them in everything that you do. Being consistent doesn’t only apply to your logo and brand colors, it extends to things like your company tone of voice and what style of photography you choose. These important consistencies help establish your brand in the market and dictate how your audience perceives your brand.

PRIMARY FONTS

The primary font is the typography you will use to for titles of documents, announcements, and important information. It is the font that draws a reader’s eye and communicates your main point. This font should always be used as the most immediately visible typographic element in your document, website or design.

SECONDARY FONTS

The secondary font is to be used to help organize your design into sections or to group related information together. It assists the reader by giving them scannable information that navigates them through the design. This includes elements such as subheads, captions, pull quotes, infographics and other small blocks of text that add information to the primary level of text. The size of this text is typically larger than your tertiary text font, but smaller than your primary font. Additionally, the primary font and secondary font are considered complimentary fonts and should always be used together.

TERTIARY FONTS

The tertiary font is to be used for the main text of your design or document. This is where the bulk of your copy lives and where you get into the message of your document or design. It could be long or short — a whole article, a short note, or a brief description — but the primary concern for this level is that it’s easy to read. The tertiary font size will be smaller than the primary or secondary fonts but large enough to be completely readable by all potential users. The typeface is simple and consistent in design, spacing and overall usage.

SPECIALTY TYPOGRAPHY ELEMENTS

These elements include effects applied to your tertiary font type to emphasize certain phrases, points, or small areas of impact. Effects such as bolding, italics, underlining and color can bring attention to specific areas of the main text. These effects work best when applied to text of the same size and typeface used in the tertiary level. Effects are used sparingly and for only a few words in sequence.

Marketing materials are a strategic way to tell your story and to get your unique message to your intended market. These unique storytelling items can be anything from a brochure, a business card or an advertisement. They are the printed and promotional pieces that provide your intended audience a first look at your brand.

When you hand a client, prospect, or potential strategic partner your business card, catalog, or rack card, you are introducing them to your brand. This is your chance to make an impression through touch and visual appeal that is not always possible when connecting online. It is important then, that printed materials be consistent in the fonts, colors, and themes that they use. More importantly, your printed materials should be consistent in the quality, weight, and finish of paper you use. If the story you want to tell your audience is that you are a luxury provider of services or products, then the quality of paper you use should communicate that as well.

You only have one opportunity to make a first impression. You don’t want to jeopardize that with making the wrong kind of impression with unprofessional and inconsistent marketing materials. This can confuse your audience and give the perception that your business is unprofessional and untrustworthy.

Each piece of your branded marketing material should represent your brand, your promise, and your value, authentically and consistently. A cohesive marketing strategy and strong visual brand will help you communicate feelings of stability, credibility, and dependability. These are key factors in building trust, but they will also help your intended audience decide whether they are going to save your sales piece, or throw it away.

Online marketing or internet marketing is the practice of using web-based channels to effectively communicate your brand, its story and the products and services you offer to your potential target audience. The methods and techniques used for online marketing can include a website, email marketing, social media, display advertising, search engine optimization, and more. The objective of online marketing is to reach your targeted audience through the channels that they spend the most time using on the internet.

Widespread adoption of the Internet for business and personal use has generated many new channels for advertising and marketing engagement, including those mentioned above. However, out of all of them, the first and best online marketing tool you have is your website. Just like your marketing materials, your website is the first impression for your brand online. It is the foundation from which all other online marketing channels derive their design, message, and brand direction.

Your online presence, like your overall brand aesthetic, has a look and feel that are distinctly your own. Your website will use the guidelines addressed in this handbook to communicate your brand digitally. This will include font selections, colors, and your branded narrative. Additionally, it may include branded icons, clear call-to-action buttons, infographics, or unique custom coding. All of these things will visually portray your brand and its story to your digital audience.

It is imperative that as you expand your digital footprint through various outlets that you take note of the design elements used within your website. Often times, marketing efforts drive traffic back to your website and you want to make sure that the impression that you are giving is one that is consistent and authentic.
