Consistency
Why is this important
Being consistent is one of the most vital aspects of running a successful business. A consistent schedule allows customers to learn when you do things- this also gives you an excellent track record!
Branding includes your marketing materials, website, and stands at trade shows and conferences. Brand consistency leads to familiarity, and familiarity leads to trust. But small local businesses are often more likely to be relaxed and not focus as heavily on brand consistency. Likewise, If you want to stand out from everyone else, you need to know your brand identity and stick with it. Consistent branding means your small business Instagram account or Facebook account will look the same as your website, LinkedIn business account and other social networks. Remember that colours, fonts, and logos must match.
Quality
Why is this important
Quality is crucial to satisfying your customers. Maintaining a high-performance quality that will help your business build and reach the goals you are striving for is essential. The quality of products and services will contribute massively to long-term revenue.
Customers need to trust your business. Branding can impact the trust and credibility a potential client will give you. Visitors will feel the quality and instinctively relax if you have a professional-looking brand. To create a branding experience. Try and approach your business as if you have never seen it before. Just consider what your brand is telling the customer. Are the logo and colours relevant? How does the branding look compared to other competitors' brands? Therefore, the more honest you are, the clearer it becomes as to why your branding is so important.
Simplicity
Why is this important
Simplicity is a massively important aspect; when you focus on making your work simplistic, it becomes understandable and recognisable. This could be highly beneficial, especially if people recognise your brand.
Think - "Can you draw it?"
Clutter creates confusion.
E.g., Orange - uses the colour orange.
In other words, use the KISS method.
K - Keep
I - It
S - Simple
S - Stupid
