Small B2B

Today was a good day.  I sat down with another small business. As they go through their e-commerce  debut using a  couple of large companies for their initial web and internet presence, they reached out to me for my unique graphic design and marketing services to help make sure their web and social media campaigns are consistent.

Straight talk between myself and the business owners, a father and son team, on how they see us working together during the next several months, setting goals and building a solid work relationship.

I am pleased to say we were able to reach a weekly hour commitment and a reasonable hourly fee.
I know together we will generate great results.

Word of mouth goes a long way.

Image Quality

Its important not to use distorted photos or graphics!

Vector and raster are two terms you’ve probably heard before, and if you’re not a graphic designer, you might not be 100% clear on the difference between the two. As a small business owner, it’s important to have a general knowledge of these terms. Why? Because when it comes to your logo, you should be sure you receive the appropriate formats from your graphic designer so you have the flexibility to use your logo when and where you want to!

Raster Graphics: Pixel Perfect
A pixelated image is called a raster graphic. A pixelated file consists of a number of little grid squares filled with color. Together, these tiny squares (or pixels) of color create an image, such as your logo.

Raster graphics are resolution dependent. The higher the number of pixels perinch, the higher the resolution of the image. Websites are 72 pixels per inch (or PPI), whereas newspapers are around 200 PPI and magazines are at least 300 PPI. You may have also heard the term DPI, which means dots per inch.

Your Brand

You want to create a branded image - usually a logo - that can be a visual shortcut for people passing by. It needs to be something that can sum up your story and visually remind people your product. It needs to have the same attitude, texture and colors as your product or service in action! Then everything flows from there.

An important point to keep in mind is that the branding - the look, tone and feel - needs to be congruent with your target audience. If you are mainly serving women in their middle years, there's no point using racing car colors, sports metaphors and references to trendy rap music. Similarly, if your most profitable clients tend to be younger folks just starting out, then references to Johnny Carson, Wang word processing and the advent of color TV is most likely to make them think you're a dinosaur.

Branding is as much about matching the message to the market as it is about staying consistent across all platforms. As every new social network emerges and takes root, it really is worth it, to quickly sign up and secure your name, or your brand's name before anyone else does. At least this way you can wait out the success of that network safe in the knowledge that your identity is locked down. A good resource here is eitherhttp://knowem.com and http://namechk.com/.
