Business Building InsightsYour entire marketing message makes the business cohesive.
Present yourself in a way that makes it easy for your audience to say yes to what you’re doing.
Start with considering how do you want people to think about your business.
Come from an audience focused view to create a brand.
Consistency across all platforms in person and online is important.
Your audience will recognize your brand through what you post, how you create your graphics and what you say on social media. Brand recognition plays a big role in your growth.
Choose 2-3 fonts. One primary for your logo, and main headlines; a supporting font for the body text; and a personality font that is fun and bold or beautiful and handwritten.
A website is a necessity and increases authority for your brand.
Make sure there is an easy way for people to connect with you on your website.
Include testimonials and social proof on your home page.
By having a more informed audience, they’re more likely to buy from you because you’re giving them value apart from just selling the product.
As you build traffic to your website and increase marketing efforts, your website will be the best sales person for your business.
