Making Your Custom Brand Design Work for You

Branding Strategies, Small Business and Marketing Tips

Congratulations! You’ve taken a major step forward in establishing your small business by investing in a custom brand design. That new logo, color palette, and typography are shiny and exciting, but you might be wondering – what’s next?

 

Here’s the good news: your branding is more than just a pretty logo. It’s a powerful tool that can elevate your entire business. Here are some ways to put your new brand design to work:

Consistent Website Design

Your website is often the first impression potential customers will have of your business. Make sure your website design reflects your new branding elements. This includes using your logo prominently, incorporating your brand colors throughout the site, and using fonts consistent with your brand.

Revamp Your Marketing Materials

From brochures and flyers to social media graphics and email marketing templates, update all your marketing materials with your new branding. This consistency will create a professional and recognizable image for your business.

Social Media Makeover

Give your social media profiles a refresh! Update your profile pictures and cover photos with your new logo or branded graphics. Use your brand colors consistently in your posts, and consider creating social media templates to streamline content creation.

Packaging with Personality

Don’t underestimate the power of packaging! If you have physical products, consider incorporating your branding elements into your packaging design. This is a great way to create a lasting impression on your customers and make your products stand out on the shelf.

Collateral with Soul:

Branded merchandise is a fantastic way to spread brand awareness and create a sense of community. Design t-shirts, mugs, hats, or other items that incorporate your logo and brand colors.

Signage Solutions

Don’t forget the physical space! If you have a storefront or office, use your new graphics in signage. From window decals to a branded doormat, these visual cues will make your location instantly recognizable and welcoming.

Now that you have a clear roadmap, it's time to bring your brand to life!

Implementing these strategies can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to go it alone. I specialize in helping small businesses like yours leverage their brand identity across all channels. From crafting social media graphics to designing eye-catching presentations, I can help you create a cohesive brand experience that drives results.

Hi there, I'm Kalie


Just like you, I’m a woman who built my business and brand from the ground up.


When it comes to building yours, the design process doesn’t have to be scary. It can be accessible. It can be personal. It can be invigorating.


You know that feeling when you took the plunge with your business? That feeling of, “Wow, I’m really doing this?” That flutter when you wake up each day knowing you’re building something awesome?


Having an elevated visual brand takes that feeling up a notch. Not just for you, but for those you serve.
