Graphic Design Can Help Your Business and Corporate Identity

In today's society everything is about choice, there are so many companies offering the same product or services, but how do today's consumers know the difference from one to the other? What is it that makes them trust one particular company for what they have to offer? Is it because someone has referred them? Or have they seen advertisements in common media that they often prefer to watch or read? Can you think of one product that is for sale at the moment that you may already have or aspire to own? Now you have that product in your head think of the company that produces that product and what is the first thing that comes to your mind? Thinking of a logo, advertisement or a specific image that has stuck in your mind for one reason or another? This is because all successful businesses today have a consistency within how they advertise and sell themselves to their target market.
By consistency I mean their choice of graphic design are not to different from one advert to the next, the bottom line or slogan speaks of the same values or amuses you in a similar way.
When you pick up your favorite magazine from the shelf do you really read the top banner? Or ask yourself, are you overlooking it and making a subconscious decision that this magazine is your regular read due to its logo, graphic style and layout.
If you are then that business that you are buying from has a very strong identity.
In order for a business to survive the tough times of today, it needs to be recognized by its potential buyers.
Every time a consumer sees or even overlooks a scrap of advertisement displaying your business, product or service it needs to be consistent therefore helping the consumer to build a subconscious relationship with your corporate image.
Before you know it your consumers will make connections to your business without even realizing.
You want to achieve this by ensuring that all your advertising media's have some form of link between one another, whether that be colour, layout, shape or style.
By reproducing similar forms of style to express your business you are burning an image into your consumers minds, the results of this method will not be instant but in the long-run will help your consumers make up their mind when they think of a product and your logo, advertisement or a specific image appears in their mind.
