With online marketing and advertising becoming more and more prevalent, it’s important to remember that business marketing offline – ie in the real world – is just as crucial as ever.
The key is to balance your marketing strategy so that both online and offline work well together. Branding, logos, slogans, corporate colours, tone and manner – all should be consistent across all platforms.
If a client clicks on your website, it should have the same feel and appearance as your actual store. When we see your vehicles on the road, the signage should be similar to what we would see on your business cards. This helps reinforce your brand to your customer, providing a ‘trigger point’ recognition that helps keep you top of mind for their next purchasing decision. Don’t believe it? Just watch a child salivate at the mere sight of the Golden Arches!
Of course, it’s impossible to identically duplicate branding across everything. Colours, font size and images need to be manipulated to look their best wherever they’re displayed. The trick is to find that complementary mix that gives all your branding a similar feel and a consistent appearance.
Design Garage has a sound reputation for creating business branding solutions and beautiful, functional websites. What you may not know is that Design Garage also has the experience and expertise to take your marketing offline as well.
