BUILD TRUST People buy from companies they know, like, and trust. To be trusted, maintaining brand consistency is essential. It’s vital to be consistent in everything you do and say about your brand, including your brand colors, logo, copy, tone, and personality.       Brand consistency builds confidence with your audience, as well as enhancing brand awareness. For example: You could enter an Apple store across the world and expect to see the same furniture, displays, the way employees interact with you, products, and prices. The only difference would be the local language and currency.

CONSISTENCY Every design and copy element of your marketing projects work harmoniously together. With a clear brand strategy, you can assess the effectiveness of the design and piece of copy by how well it reflects the given strategic direction. Without a brand strategy to strengthen design and copywriting decisions, everything becomes subjective, and set up for failure. Almost every time major decisions about logo design, color palettes, and sales copy are being made based on personal taste. Even family member’s opinions come into play and enter the meeting. In the end, decision makers usually have the final say.

REDUCING COSTS A brand guideline avoids hours wasted with relentless debates and serves as a single source for marketers, copywriters, and designers. Without any form of guideline of the brand behavior, look, and feel, every project or design decision will rack up hours of time being wasted with relentless debates. For Example: • Can we use a darker blue color instead? • Can we make the logo bigger? • Can we use these images instead? • Can we make it more flashy? • I don’t like this font! Assume your time as a business owner is worth about $200 per hour. Assume also you spend two hours per week in meetings to decide such small decisions: 2 hours × 52 weeks × $200 = $20,800 per year A thoughtfully crafted design tool kit can eliminate the need for small decisions and can increase your profitability by tens of thousands of dollars every year.
