Make 2015 The Most Successful Year Yet!

It’s come to that time of year again, where we leave the slumber of our homes to start work anew. So why not make 2015 the most successful year yet by improving your company image?

Work with MeeCreative to implement these core elements to help your business grow and become more profitable:

It’s impossible to understate the importance of an effective logo; it’s the first thing people see when searching for you on social media, receiving your business card, visiting your website, or walking into your office. Your logo is the public face of your company, so it’s important that it looks its best.

A tag line / slogan incorporates your company’s most important benefits in a single phrase or sentence. Successful tag lines are great for marketing and even better for memorability, and including one alongside your company’s logo is a great way to present yourself in the public eye.

Although on paper it is easy to separate a brand identity into its separate parts, it’s difficult to put them together in the first place. Logo, name and all other brand elements must work together to paint a much bigger picture; giving your brand a graphical DNA is essential to helping people recognise and understand your company effortlessly.

Printed media is a big part of showcasing your company both directly and indirectly. You can include as few or as many elements of your company’s brand as you wish depending on the type of item, but keeping business cards, invoices, and even internal memos within your company’s brand guidelines helps to solidify your image in the customers’ minds.

Having a website that effectively portrays the character and values of your company is more important today than it has ever been. With more and more people searching for services on mobile devices, your website is more often than not both the first and the most used point-of-entry into your company’s services. Making sure your website fits your company image makes all the difference in the world.
