Branding- the need to be consistent.


It is said that image is everything, and for successful businesses today- that's the truth. Consumers buy from those they trust, recognize and have a affinity toward. Your logo, your brand creates that feeling or impression which gives your clients security and comfort when they choose to spend their time and money in your establishment.
Carefully monitor how your brand is portrayed, create standards of use of your logo- is it allowed in any color, on any item. Many companies have established a rule- if it, their logo or brand is reproduced in color, it has to be accurate to the original version. Any uses outside of the full reproduction are run in a one color format, i.e., all white, all black or all the color of choice.
For example the NDS logo above is a three color product, black, purple and silver or grey. It is either run in that combination or all of one color.
A decision for brand consistency will help create the image you want and avoid any non-verbal confusion in your customers mind.
Remember, "branding is who you are!"

ECO IS HOT! According to industry surveys, 45% of consumers in the 11 Western states have a stronger impression of advertisers who use and promote environmentally friendly products. *                   It's not like the "old days" when eco products were scratchy, poor quality and unappealing.
 
Small Things Add-Up  I believe we succeed by how faithful we are 1st in how we handle small things, then we are entrusted with bigger things. There are many stories of those getting the "golden" ring to implode on the rock of fame and fortune. This became clearer when I relooked at my favorite Saturday habit, my cheat day run to BJ's, baked pecan rolls, donuts and more- The owners are special people, running a loyal staff who churn out donuts so good that people will wait in line 40 deep to get their fix. It boggles my mind to get a handle how many donuts they sell to afford to have a comfortable lifestyle (they talk about pounds of dough vs donut count)- Many of us look for that "homerun sale", "BIG DEAL" but steady and consistent equates to success by any measure. Take a moment, grab a donut and reflect on how small things really do add up t bigger things!
