What can you do to enhance your graphic designs this year?
It looks as if the nation will be reopening, slowly but surely this year. As your company attempts to make various plans for those potential lifted restrictions and guidelines, you will want to examine your print management agency.
If you have a solid printing partner, they have managed a great deal of printed projects such as banners, displays, and any other promotional/marketing materials and items. They have incredible customer service and use state-of-the-art printing techniques that elevate your brand visually while also maintaining consistency. To go a step further, if your print management agency is tremendous at their craft, then they also enhance your graphic designs and help you maintain consistency between online and in-person branding.
Does your printing partner check all those areas? It is common for agencies to only handle the printed projects; however, there are several reasons why you need a partner that does the digital side as well.
Knowledge In Design & Color Theories
If you are a small business, you may still be in the midst of creating your brand book and guidelines. Maybe you’re a bigger company and either want to refresh parts of your brand or a complete rebrand. Any of these tasks can feel daunting at times. However, your print management agency will be able to discuss all the design theories and color theories that correlate with your desired brand look and overall feel. As you are an expert in your field, printing partners are an expert in theirs. This means that they have studied design theory and color theory, and they can confidently tell you what certain aspects may evoke emotionally from your target audience.
For example, they can take a sketch you may have created for your logo and enhance your digital designs beyond your wildest dreams. Something that will catch the eye of many, especially your target audience. It is critical that you continually think of your target audience whenever you are discussing elements of your brand.
One of the greatest aspects of a print management agency is that you can collaborate with them to create, design, maintain, and/or refresh your brand well. They have the skill to meet with you, ask you several questions about your company, its values, your target audience, and what emotional state or imagery first comes to mind; then, they can design elements of your brand or enhance your designs around your answers. It is a time saver to have a print management agency on your side. They save you not only time, but also money, energy, and a whole lot of potential headaches.
Brand Consistency
With consistent graphic design, you are able to make users feel familiar with you, whether that be on your website, a billboard, social media platforms, in your store, etc. An audience will be able to recognize that you are the same company based on your website when they pull up in your parking lot and see your office space. The (potential) consumers want to be reassured that it is the same company with whom they are interacting or seeing in various places. How does that manifest?
Your print management agency can handle both digital and printed branding materials or items. They can guide you through the process of finding the right way to brand your product packaging or create an immersive experience at a trade show. Whatever the scenario may be, they will be able to deliver consistency with their knowledge of your brand, colors, and printing techniques. You can also still enhance your graphic designs while maintaining recognition. A reliable print management agency knows exactly how to do that.
This is critical for long-term success in your organization and overall brand. You will become more memorable, recognizable, and seen as trustworthy as your practice consistency in design.
