Improve Your Plain Language Writing

Designing a brand isn’t just about visuals. You also need to create a brand voice, which is consistent throughout your written content. Writing in plain language is often beneficial for appealing to a wide audience. And David Leonhardt of The Happy Guy Writing Services shares tips here.

Consider These Pinterest Statistics

Pinterest is an incredibly visual platform. So the right design elements can help your content stand out. In this Blogging Wizard post, Adam Connell shares statistics that can help businesses make the most of the platform. And BizSugar members chimed in here.

Determine Your Target Market Vs. Target Audience

In order to design the perfect brand, you need to understand exactly who you’re designing for. Target market and target audience are two terms often used to describe this group. And though they’re sometimes used interchangeably, there are some key differences to know. Chandraveer Singh elaborates in this post.

Find Customers Online

You also need to actually find where your target customers are online in order to get your branding messages across. This looks different for various businesses. But Ivana Taylor of DIY Marketers offers some universal tips here.

Consider the Customer Experience in Your Branding Efforts

The customer experience should be a main consideration in every decision your company makes – including branding. For a guide on what the customer experience is and why it’s so important, read this MarTech post by Corey Patterson.

Choose the Right Custom Software Development Team for Your Small Business

If your business uses or produces software, the design of your programs can also impact your brand. If you don’t have an in-house development team, choosing the right professionals can help your projects succeed. Ivan Widjaya of BizEpic details how in this post.

Design the Perfect Business Cards

Your branding design should also extend to physical materials – like business cards. You may hand these out at trade shows, client meetings, or just in your daily life. And the perfect design can help you make a positive impression. See tips in this Small Biz Viewpoints post by Harry and Sally Vaishnav. Then read commentary from the BizSugar community here.
