The art of attracting the right customers for you

What is brand design?

Branding

Simply put, branding is the practice of communicating your professional image through visual design. Let's use PRIMARK as an example: Their brand identity feels affordable, and that's entirely on purpose. They don't want to be a high-end fashion brand: They want to be the first clothing retailer on someone's mind if they need cheap clothing. 

Meanwhile, designer brand stores can only be visited on an appointment basis: They want people to know that the average bypasser could never afford to shop there. It's all in the brand, and it's all by design.

Visual identity

Most of us rely heavily on our eyes to get around. Visuals give us all sorts of clues. What do you look for if you're on holiday and need a pharmacy? Probably one of those seizure-inducing green 'plus' signs. This principle can be applied to all sorts of businesses: The right look lets consumers know what you're about in a snap second– and that's important because a snap second is often all you get.

Heading

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

Why it matters

A strong brand informs consumers of what you're about in a snap second– which is vital because a snap second is often all you get.

Amplify your voice

You may not need a visual identity if you're the only source in town for the thing(s) you offer. Unfortunately, that's unlikely. With many businesses fighting for attention, you must maximize your potential by being recognizable. Try to think of a strong company that doesn't have a highly recognizable logo or color scheme. Pretty tricky, right?

Lower price sensitivity

A low price sensitivity means that your target market's willing to pay what you're asking for your product or service. It means they like your brand well enough to give less weight to price. A strong brand enables you to raise prices because you've established your business as the go-to in your industry in the minds of your target market.
