4 Things To Consider When Creating Your Brand

One of the hardest things about starting your own business is creating a brand that will stick. Whilst you may already have loose branding in place, it’s important you’re doing everything you can to design a brand that people will remember time after time.

From the logo that you use to the packaging of your products, everything you do needs to be on-brand at all times. Whilst it may seem overwhelming at first, there are lots of tips and tricks you can follow to ensure you’re creating the best possible brand. With that in mind, here are 4 things to consider when creating a brand for your business:

What Colours And Fonts Are Best Going To Represent Your Company?

The first things you need to think about are the elements of your branding, including the colours and fonts you’re going to use. Whilst you may have a rough idea of the colours and stylings you want, you need to be sure you have trailed all of your available options.

The best way to do this, of course, is to put together several different colour palettes and fonts to choose from. Once you have all of them in front of you, it will be much easier to make a decision.

What Message Do You Want To Put Across?

Another important thing to consider is the message you want to put across with your branding, as this is what you want people to associate with you when you see your brand.

Although this may be one of the hardest things you have to decide during the lifetime of your business, you need to be sure that you know exactly what your missions and values are. Once you know what your values are, you will be able to discuss how you’re going to portray them within your brand.

How Will You Protect Your Brand?

Once you know what you want your branding to look like, you need to start thinking about how you’re going to protect your brand in the future. Although it isn’t likely, you may find that over time people start to copy or replicate things that you would consider your intellectual property. If you haven’t done anything to protect them, however, you may find that you don’t have much of a case.

Implementing a regular access review audit within your business can ensure that only authorized personnel are able to modify or use your brand assets, safeguarding against internal misuse and leaks.

Additionally, it’s vital to monitor the market for any unauthorized usage of your brand elements, such as logos or taglines. Registering trademarks for your key brand elements can provide a legal basis to challenge infringements.

Finally, educating your team about the importance of brand consistency and legal compliance helps in maintaining the integrity of your brand across all platforms.
