Stationery Design: Bringing in the Designer
When you want to guarantee that your marketing campaign is effective, you need to come up with impressive materials. To some business owners this would be a challenging job. You would need to be creative and imaginative in order to create interesting and attention-grabbing materials. If you don’t have a creative bone in your body, it would be best to leave the design project in the hands of the professional. A professional graphic designer will help you create materials that focus on the needs of your customers.
Let’s say you need to get your business stationery redesigned. The first design did not work, so you need to come up with a much ideal design. This would require the help of a graphic designer. It’s important that you tell the designer what exactly you want to achieve with your material. Is it to general new customers, promote your brand, or encourage repeat purchases? Whatever your purpose is, the designer has to know it.
After deciding on your goal, you need to talk about the design itself. Start with the colors you will use. The designer should be able to tell you the meaning of each color. They should let you understand the psychology of color. This will help you pick the ideal color appropriate to your business.
The font you will use is also an important consideration. You don’t need to use fancy fonts. It would be best to go for simple and legible fonts. As much as possible, use only one or two fonts. Don’t overcrowd your stationery with too many fonts.
On top of your stationery layout is the letterhead. It should contain your complete contact details including your name, business name, contact numbers, mailing address, physical address, email, and website. Your logo is also an important element that should be included in the layout. As the main branding element of your business, it should be prominently placed in the design. If you don’t have a logo yet, you can ask the designer to help you create your logo as well.
Make sure that the designer you are choosing has the right qualifications. He or she has the proper skill and training. If possible, look at the sample works of the designer. This will give you an idea as to the kind of work he is capable of.
The designer should also be able to give you insights on how the process will be done. He should also provide several design suggestions that would make your custom stationery look more impressive and catchy. If he can give you several drafts the better. This will give you several choices on which design will best fit your business.
You can always ask referrals from friends or family if they know a reliable designer. You can also read testimonials and reviews to ensure that you are picking the right man (or woman) for the job.
The right designer should be able to give you high quality print job. It won’t really cost you a lot to hire a professional. Shop around so you would be able to find the best deal. Tell the designer beforehand that you are working on a budget so they won’t put extra charges on your tab.
Once your stationery is done and you achieved good results with the new design, you are assured that your investment was not wasted. This would guarantee you good results for a long time.
