Is Your Company Brand Identity Strong?
Your brand identity communicates a promise from your company to your customer. Your brand identity consists of your logo, business card, letterhead, website and all other marketing and advertising collateral. When a customer looks at your brand identity, what do they see? What is their perception of your company?
You may run your business from your dining room table, be a company of 1 or only work your business part time. Whatever the scenario, your brand identity is still important. When a client looks at your business card or your website, they should never be able to tell or even get the perception that you work from home.
You can be a SOHO (small office home office) business and have the look and feel of a fortune 500 company. Here are some tips to follow:
1. Choose a logo design that communicates your company’s promise
2. Be sure to add your logo to your business cards, letterhead and website
3. Make sure your company logo is on all your company marketing and advertising collateral
4. Make sure your email address used on your website, business cards and letterhead is your company email and not your personal aol, yahoo or gmail email.
Here is a short list of online companies that design logos, business cards, letterhead and websites for a reasonable fee:
* LogoWorks
* The LogoLoft
* LogoJeez
Happy Branding!

Website Magazine – I Had NO Clue
I guess I must have been living under a HUGE rock because today I finally discovered that there is a magazine in print that is right up my alley – Website Magazine – and I had no idea about it until today.
Their website is packed with great information for website owners and I can’t wait to get their printed version, which by the way is completely free.
You want to know another really cool thing – right now for those that subscribe they will plant a tree on your behalf. Nothing like getting good information and helping the environment at the same time.
If any of you, that didn’t already know about the magazine, want to grab a free subscription just click on the banner below. Oh, I love it when I come across new things that will benefit me and other WAHMS
