That is where your branding comes in. From the colors you choose to the fonts you display, it is important to create a consistent identity, so that when people see an advertisement or post, there is no doubt who originated it.

How Typography Affects Conversions [infographic]

Have you ever wondered if your typography is affecting your conversion rate? Could your text, color, and style be hurting your business? Oddly enough the answer could be “Certainly.” Typography tells a large part of your branding story. Is your script flowing like Coca-cola, or is it blocky and angular like Dewalt? Different scripts obviously sell different personalities and messages that reflect the brand and product they sell. Not only that but color and sizing are also important aspects to think about. By changing the color, font type, or size in certain areas of your website, you can draw users’ eyes to exactly what you want. The brain is drawn to things out of the ordinary, so take advantage of that by putting your calls to action in a bolder color and larger font than the surrounding text. Attention to these details can affect your bottom line. Take a look to learn helpful insights on how typography affects conversion.

LinkedIn Profile To Generate Leads[infographic]

With over 575 million profiles on the platform, you want to be sure you stand out – in the right ways. This can be done by following a few simple rules. Be clear and concise.

Short and sweet as they say. You want people to be able to glance at your profile, quickly comprehend who you are, who you work for, and what you can do. Be professional. This is the first impression you make, so don’t be too casual about it. Take a look at the graphic below to get your LinkedIn profile to generate leads and boost your sales and network numbers.

90% of Design is Typography[infographic]

Does your branding need a bit of a refresh? The simplest way that makes an extraordinary difference is updating your font. Did you know 90% of design is in typography? The font not only communicates the basic, cold hard facts and information of your business, but it also expresses the feeling or personality of your business – or can – if done properly. Think of Coca-Cola with its flowing old-time script depicting its history and old reliable essence or Google with its colorful simple script communicating a simplistic yet creative understanding. There is more to typography than meets the eye. It meets the heart – if used properly. Never forget how much it can communicate or forget that people, more and more, choose brands they personally connect with. Choose wisely. Be intentional. Tell your story.

The Neuroscience Of Storytelling

Have you ever thought about the neuroscience of storytelling? I’m guessing most people haven’t but knowing the how and why behind branding through storytelling is more interesting and scientific than I ever thought possible. Our brains are wired to latch on and remember stories more than anything else. Neuroactivity abounds when we hear a story because they are built to touch so many different centers of our brain from emotional and language regions to sensory regions like sight and smell. Stories engulf their listeners in a narrative they can’t peel away from – if it’s a good story, told well. Telling your brand story is your company’s opportunity to captivate an audience. Take advantage of the neuroscience of storytelling and make sure you find a unique place in the memory of your audience. Take the time to craft and turn over different lines and points of emphasis. The better-told story is the most remembered.

8 Tips for Telling Your Company’s Story

Are you in the habit of telling your company’s story? Maybe you share it everywhere or maybe you’ve never shared it at all, but telling your company’s story is a critical part of your business’ success. Consumers, now more than ever, desire connection and kinship with the brands they use. It isn’t only about product and price. People want to know and connect with how a company operates, its values, its mission. I know this can sound super fluffy, especially to the old guard, but this is simply the world we live in these days. Decisions are made by buyers for multiple reasons – not just one or two. If they don’t like the story you’re telling, they ain’t buying. You want to appeal to as broad of an audience as possible, but always be rooted in honesty. You will not appeal to everyone and that’s okay. If you want to succeed, if you want to connect with consumers at a more intimate level, you need to tell your company’s story. Where to begin? I’m glad you asked. Check out these 8 tips.
