How to Improve your Brand Identity in e-Commerce

There are many eCommerce platforms but, in this blog post, I will focus on what I’ve tried or heard good feedback from other people I know – WooCommerce, EKM & Shopify. Before I will go into the details about features and prices, I want to make a clear distinction between the type of software you can use to develop an online shop. SaaS vs. Open Source Software as a service (SaaS) is a software licensing and delivery model in which software is licensed on a subscription basis and is centrally hosted. The vendor hosts your online shop on their own servers and you pay monthly to use their software. The […]

A brand is more than words. It’s more than a tagline, a unique and personable voice, and a consistent style. A brand is also visual. Images, colours, and even your font, all play a role in how your audience perceives you. Humans are visual beings. We often create an impression in our mind of a company based only on the visuals. Before your prospect reads a single word, they may have created a definition of who you are and what you’re about. They’ve started the decision-making process. This means that the visual elements of your brand not only need to […]

5 Visual Components to Make Customers Remember You

One of the most important things you need to do in order to have a successful business is to create a brand around your name or your product. To come with the best name and logo, think about the physical representation of your business, but also the feeling that develops in people when talking about or thinking about your business. Your brand should always reflect what your audience thinks, says, and feels about your products or your services. If you can remember that your brand is, really, all about your audience, and how you want them to feel, it’ll be […]

Facebook Live is great for small businesses, as you don’t need a lot of expensive equipment to set it up. You can stream on Facebook Live using the camera in a smartphone. The other benefit is that because Facebook is pushing the service, it pushes the streaming videos to the top of your audience’s Newsfeed while they are still live. That’s something you usually need to pay for in terms of an ad or a boosted post. One of the things that are most difficult to produce as a small business is content for social media, but Facebook Live gives […]

Visuals are everything. You may agree or disagree but it’s true, isn’t it? Simply observe the culture right now. We love seeing images and videos – whether it’s us in the photo or just another ‘satisfying video’ on YouTube. We can’t help but look at and watch them. And what catches our attention most are the types of visuals that are eye-catching. It’s true that visuals are just what you see on the outside and don’t reflect who the person really is or what the business stands for. But, think about this, a company can have the most awesome product but […]

You wouldn’t go on a shopping spree if you didn’t know exactly how much money you had in the bank, so why evaluate your lead generation website without knowing how many actual sales leads it’s producing? If you’re relying solely on raw analytics to evaluate your site’s performance, you’re not getting the whole story. Nearly half of all website conversions are things other than sales leads — job applications, incomplete forms, customer service inquiries, and the like. Without lead validation as a critical component of your campaign, you’ll never be able to separate the true sales leads from those other […]
