It’s one thing to have a beautiful brand design. It’s one thing to have a beautiful brand design. It’s something else entirely to actually implement it so you can reap the benefits of a recognizable brand. I’ve seen so many online business owners launch a stunning business brand, only to have them completely lose track of it because they’re disorganized or simply have no idea how to apply the brand to their visuals. If you want to build a business that’s memorable so you can capture the eyes (and hearts) of your audience for a sold out launch, then you need to be consistent in the way you use your brand. That being said, here are 5 small ways to intentionally implement your brand this week: 1️⃣Replace your old email newsletter header 2️⃣Update your Instagram Highlight covers 3️⃣Publish an Instagram post using a Canva template customized with your branding 4️⃣Create updated promo graphics for your core offer 5️⃣Update your Pinterest Profile cover Need help to do this quick, quick?

At the end of last year I received a message via m At the end of last year I received a message via my Etsy shop from someone who found my Canva templates on Pinterest. The interesting bit? The screenshot she sent was of a template set that I updated more than 2 years ago! What does that tell you? Pinterest will bring traffic to your stuff, YEARS down the road! It’s a great way to send people to your website so they can learn more about your business and all the incredible ways you can help them. Pinterest is also a fantastic way to build awareness around your brand so that your audience becomes more familiar with your business. And, what better way to do this than to establish a consistent brand with stunning visuals? As it is with content sharing platforms, there are two ways to build brand awareness with your visuals: 1️⃣ THROUGH YOUR PROFILE When someone lands on your profile, you want your brand visuals to draw their attention so they instantly become familiar with your business. This way, each time they see your content, they’ll immediately identify it as yours; which will make you top of mind. 2️⃣ THROUGH THE CONTENT BEING SHARED FROM YOUR PROFILE Using a consistent aesthetic for your visuals when sharing content will allow for your audience to recognize your work while scrolling. This is a powerful way to build familiarity and connection, while also standing out from every other business they come in contact with online. Wanna know which Pinterest graphics you should use for each of these so that you can build brand awareness with your visuals? 👆Swipe for the breakdown!

Creating stunning visuals for online businesses is Creating stunning visuals for online businesses is kinda my JAM 😇 Staying true to a brand identity while creating stunning visuals to attract dream clients and customers is how I create MAGIC for your business 🧙 This is exactly why I felt so drawn to the email I received with the subject line “Can you help my business?” Avery Smith is a Licensed Realtor who extends her services to corporate estate agencies looking to provide their clients with a premium level of client care.  After going through my Dreamy Biz Brand Quiz, Avery realized she needed to uplevel the look and feel of her business to match the high level of service she provides. And, since her work tends to be more serious, she wanted to add a fun, personal touch to her visuals to intrigue her clients. Her overall aim was for her new brand and visuals to hold the attention of her clients with beautiful designs while maintaining the professionalism her field requires. Communicating with Avery, I immediately related to her dedication to providing her clients with excellent results. Yet, through our email exchanges I got the sense that she’d lost a bit of the excitement she once had for her business while she was growing her client’s reputations.  Understanding Avery’s desire to continue wowing her clients with outstanding service while simultaneously nurturing her own business, we created something that reignited her spark… I’m thrilled to share this stunning brand design project with you today! Can you relate to Avery? Getting lost in growing your own business even as you’re doing the work you know in your heart you’re meant to be doing?  I want to help you find your spark again. Because even though design doesn’t fall into your zone of genius, it doesn't mean you can’t reap the amazing benefits of a beautiful business brand.
