12.29
When you think of the concept of branding your business, you likely think of the basics, like having a company website, some ads in the local newspapers, and some business cards and other stationary with your impressive business logo design featured. But, going beyond this, what else can you do? Well, it will depend largely on the nature of your business, but there are many other ways. Take some examples:
- Promotional items, like pens, keyrings, balloons, and branded clothing. These can be distributed during public events, like competitions and other promotional events.
- Car and van stickers – this will depend on the kind of services that you are offering, but for something like window cleaning, or sports coaching, vehicle stickers can be a great way to advertise your services while increasing brand awareness.
