Starting a new business can take a toll on your checkbook, but it is important to remember you want to start off right. Cutting corners on important aspects of your business like the branding and marketing can seem like a good idea in the beginning. But when you break it down, you can’t afford not to hire a professional graphic designer.
DIY is great for a craft, not for your business branding and marketing.
You need to get started on the right foot. Hiring a graphic designer is the best option for new businesses.
The investment is well worth it.
Here are a few reasons why you need to hire a professional graphic designer. This will be one of the best investments you make for your new business.
Experience
How many times have you tried something only to have it take hours of unending trial and error. Then someone with experience steps in and it is done in a few minutes.
This is exactly what your designer has, experience.
Design is what we do. We make companies stand out in the crowd. Graphic designers use design programs for hours everyday. We know the ins and outs.
Why waste precious time that you could be spending on other items? You are starting a business, there are plenty of other to-do items. A designer will have your items created in less time than you can learn the programs.
Don’t forget your time is worth something too!
Personal and Professional
Each business is different, this is why working with a designer should be a personal experience.
Your designer will meet with you on a personal level, learning as much as they can about you, your business, your vision and your needs. Then they will start researching and designing.
A good designer gets to know the client so that they can convey the personality and vision of the business to the world.
Working with a designer outside of your company also allows for unique perspectives, which open the door to many creative options.
From start to finish, a designer walks with you through the branding process and ensures you get a design you can be proud to display and show the world.
Creative and Unique
There are many companies that offer cheap, quick, designs. While they can seem enticing, they are normally a template filled in with your company information.
Unfortunately, I have received multiple clients that went to one of these sites. In the end they felt that they were given a design that did not work on all marketing materials and overall they were disappointed with the final design they purchased. After working with me, they had a new, personal, unique design that they were proud to use.
Stand out from the crowd.
Templates are not the best way to stand out from your competitors. You need something memorable and unique.
Consistency
From the very beginning you need to be consistent in your branding and marketing.
If nothing works well together, you will not make the impression you need to be remembered by your potential clients and customers.
A designer can help guide you through the different stages of your branding strategy and marketing plan. From start to finish, your brand will be consistent and memorable. Helping you make your mark in your market.
Don’t give in to the temptation to cut corners on your branding. Your branding is the first thing your potential and current customers see.
Make sure you stand out from the competition.
A memorable and well designed brand is more important in the long run than a few dollars saved. Contact us today to get a quote for your branding project.
