Photos has been a part and parcel of life.  Today’s generation, being obsessed with smartphones, easily takes tons of photos and selfies and share it among their circle and social media. Unfortunately, this was not the same scenario before three or four decades.  People over fifty, of course in the same frame of mind as today’s youth, didn’t have the technology or easy accessibility. They had to depend on photo studios to get a photo clicked. Moreover, photos would cost and took much more time to develop. However, people never fell behind getting the photographs taken of very important occasions like childhood, graduation day, marriage and so on.  Hence all most all earlier generation people have old photographic albums saved. Unfortunately, old photographs, be it black and white or color, cannot be saved as hardcopy forever because of many issues. Old photographs could get lost or damaged during shifting, or simply it would wear out themselves because of aging.

Imagine this scenario: you receive a call from a small business owner who needs some design work. He says he doesn’t have time to do it himself and asks for a quote. When you give him the project estimate, he balks at your rates and thanks you for your time, never to be heard from again.
 
You probably don’t have to imagine this; throughout your career as a graphic designer, it’s probably happened to you countless times.
Hoarding Design
Professional design work is notoriously undervalued in small businesses. When financial times get tough, the creative budget is one of the first things cut. Only one small business out of several I’ve worked with had a dedicated graphic designer on staff. In one sense, that’s great news for freelance designers and design agencies, but it also highlights exactly where designers fit on a small business list of priorities.
Small business owners typically run on limited resources, and while each wants a beautiful website, clever logo, and compelling marketing collateral, they’re not always willing to pay professional rates to get them. Instead, they ask an employee without adequate training usually a marketing assistant who wears many hats to try their hand at DIY design. Or they start searching the web for chapters options. Either way, the business owner is probably not going to be happy with the results.
The first red flag in the opening scenario was the caller’s assumption that he could successfully do his own design work if only he had the time. This may be true in some cases, but generally it’s not. The second was his aversion to your professional rates. But designers know that sharp, well-thought-out graphic design can mean all the difference to companies big and small. The next time you find yourself talking to a hesitant prospect, reference this list of reasons small businesses should place greater value on graphic design:

First impressions matter.  

You know what they say: you only have one chance to make a first impression. Whether it’s a website or the logo in an email signature, potential customers will judge a business in just a few seconds based on visual appeal alone. High-quality graphic design gives businesses credibility and that’s priceless. No matter how great a product or service, with poor design, it’s unlikely anyone will stick around the company’s website or keep its email long enough to find out.

Design can tell a story.

Similarly, it’s important that people get a feel for what a business does even if they’ve never heard of it before. Thoughtful design evokes the right image in customers minds. The concept for a daycare center would be entirely different than that of a law firm. That’s a dramatic contrast, but it holds true in more nuanced ways as well. Consider, for example, Beecher’s Handmade Cheese, a small company with a short history rooted in Seattle. Beecher’s finely detailed logo and packaging labels echo the artisanal nature of the company, the historic imagery alludes to tradition, and its black and white color scheme suggests a classic quality.
Logo Design

Branding makes a company memorable.

Solid graphic design provides branding consistency across every visual, customer-facing aspect of a business. A professional graphic artist will use precise colors, typeface, imagery, and mood for everything he or she touches. This way, customers have the same experience visiting a company’s website as they do reading its brochure. Think of it as a kind of alliteration it helps the business become recognizable and memorable. Plus, consistency symbolizes professionalism, and professionalism symbolizes trustworthiness. It’s win, wins win.’

Creativity can be a differentiator.

If there’s one thing all small businesses have in common, it’s that they all face competition. And to set themselves apart, they generally have a handful of differentiators, whether those include pricing, quality, customer service, or something else entirely. But consider that creativity can help a small business stand out, too. A company’s visual communication plan serves many purposes, and making the business unique should be one of them.
 

Good design converts.

A slick website is nice to have. A slick website that converts is even nicer. Design isn’t just about making things look pretty; effective design should entice and persuade. A smartly designed website can direct visitors to take action, like clicking a buy button for instance. A well-crafted pamphlet compels readers to keep turning pages. Professional graphic design has the potential to deliver measurable results for a small business.  

Spending more up front saves time and money in the long run.

Teaser Design

When businesses don’t take graphic design seriously in the beginning, they will more than likely go through a design overhaul eventually in some cases, more than once. However, quality design has longevity. Paying for great graphic design one time is no more expensive than paying for subpar design multiple times. Not to mention, redesigning a business image over and over wastes time and can be detrimental to its brand.

Many small business owners understand the value of great design. Many others do not. Whether you’re just starting your career as a graphic designer or you’ve been on the receiving end of that phone call one-too-many times, this list might come in handy. If you’re up for the challenge, you can educate small business owners about the value professional graphic designers provide. And if that doesn’t work, you can always remind them of David Ogilvy’s famous words: Pay people peanuts and you get monkeys.

Logo Designers in Bangalore

  Here are some of the top ways your logo impacts social media marketing:

 
  1. It can help increase followers, friends, and shares  A professional and attractive-looking logo on a webpage or blog post is more likely to be shared with friends than one that doesn’t look reliable or trustworthy.

  1. It helps you stand out from competitors A logo that’s visually interesting and relates to your clients will help your business materials from your website to all print materials stand out from the competition.
 
  1. It drives brand recognition across platforms When a logo is used consistently over many platforms, customers will get several impressions of the logo, thus creating more memorability. Since many people are visual learners, they’ll remember your brand better when they see it, rather than hear or read about it.
 
  1. It helps make your customers happy An attractive and effective logo will appeal to your customers and make them happy to be associated with you. This includes everything from the logo’s colors and fonts to its overall image. The bottom line is that you want customers to get a good feelings from you.

The first thing a potential customer will do is visit your website, and from that visit form opinions about your products and services, website design can impact your business easily. If that opinion isn’t favorable, they are likely to take their business somewhere else. If they like what they see, they will take the next step toward doing business with you.

Website Design Can Impact Your Business Your website design is the face of your business, and you want it to look and sound good. It needs to be well designed and attractive, but it also needs substance’s your website needs to quickly and efficiently communicate that you understand your client’s needs and can offer solutions. There are three key things you need to do to ensure your website design has a positive impact on your business: develop good content, create a good user experience, and make it visually appealing.

1. Your Website Content You have likely heard the phrase content is kings That means you can have the most beautiful website ever, but if the content is weak, your website won’t have impact. Your content needs to be concise, focused, and all about the client’s needs. Writing about how great your products and services are won’t really demonstrate how you can help your clients. People want to feel understood, and your content is where you do that. Your home page should ideally include a description of the client challenge you solve, written in approximately 200 words. People don’t spend a great amount of time on a home page this is where they decide to probe deeper. Do you job here, and they’ll click on to your products, services, or other pages. You can go into more detail on these subpages whatever is necessary to describe how you can help the client. Above all, every page on your website needs to be about how you help the client.Regardless of how many you pages you have, a website design project should start with content first. It is the most critical part of your website.

2. The User Experience Make it easy for your users to find what they are looking for. If your website is hard to navigate and it’s difficult to find information, your visitors will get frustrated and go find another site to visit. Same with slow load times. Be mindful of loading speeds when you design the website. Visitors don’t have the patience to wait for all of those images to load. Your website must load fast and display well on every browser and any device.

You website navigation needs to be clear, logical, and intuitive. Getting cute with navigation names may seem like a good idea, but not if users can’t figure out where to go for pricing information, services, or even a way to contact you. Another important part of the user experience is ensuring your site is mobile friendly. Statistics vary, but somewhere around 60% of users access websites on mobile devices. Make sure your website design is mobile friendly.

3. The Visual Presentation Best practices in website design change rapidly. You want to keep your look current and fresh. Visiting a website that looks dated is a sure fire way to make someone question your professionalism people respond more positively to things that look good, including websites. That means your web design needs to be professional, modern, and clean. Because you will likely need to refresh the look of your website every few years, make sure you use a web design platform that is easily adaptable. You don’t want to have to redesign the entire site every time you need a refresh. Working with an experienced web designer will help ensure you have the flexibility for future change. Bottom line: Your website can have a tremendous impact on your business. If you pay attention to these three web design elements, you will be well on your way to building a site that enhances your business and elevates you above your competition.

Product photography is a huge aspect that you need to think about when trying to persuade people in to buy your stuff.
Did you know that people remember 80 percent of what they see, and just 20 percent of what they read? The power of an image is hard to ignore, and if you’re not including great images of your products then you could be losing out on some serious sales.

Product Photography – Honeycomb
The truth is,the better your stuff looks, the more you will sell.
The top 4 thing’s to consider, when planning your product photography.

1. Choose a set amount of images
The first thing you need to consider when planning your product photography is how many images you want to showcase. If you look to sites like eBay or Amazon, you’ll see that they give the user an option to add many product photos. This really helps the viewer get a detailed visual insight into what they are buying.
If you’re selling a lot of products in your store then you may not want to clutter your site with loads of photos, but it’s important to keep the amount consistent for each product. As a general rule, think about showing three photos for each product.

2. Use the image to highlight the benefits
In addition to showing multiple images, try and think outside the box and use your images to showcase the benefits. For example, one of the main selling points of a tablet is how slimline it is, and many vendors offer an image of the tablet next to a pencil, to really highlight this feature.
You could even consider creating life shots, with people using your product. This is an effective approach that many successful brands decide to go with. It connects with your customers emotions and shows them how they can use the product in their daily life.

3. Show ALL colors and styles
Does your product come in a different color, or style? Say for example you are selling shorts that have different colors and patterns. Don’t just take one photo of the shorts in the most popular color. Make sure you show your visitors the various colors and styles of your product. It can really make a difference in whether you get a sale, as not everyone has the same taste.

4. Make your images appealing
This is probably the most important point to consider. The more appealing your products look, the more likely you are to receive a sale. There are various tricks that you can do, to make your products look as appealing as can be!
  • Get the lighting right so that it’s evenly lit
  • Experiment with the photo settings to get the best results
  • Make sure your camera is stable
  • Spend time editing the photo
  • Think about what background you want to have
  • Use different diffusion methods
  • Get the best angle for your product

As a business owner, you may have hundreds of concerns to address during your day-to-day workplace activities, so you might be tempted to ignore the need for expertly crafted graphic designs. However, utilizing professional graphic designs can be an integral step in the process of establishing and maintaining a successful business. The six points listed below emphasize how important graphic design is to your business.
Brand Recognition
 
Your company’s total brand image starts with a great logo and expands to every aspect of your business. The design needs to target your audience in a way that is functional, attractive, and professional. Your brand should provide an instant connection to the outstanding products and services that you offer, and you need an excellent graphic design to forge that kind of connection.

Company Unity
 
Your employees will be surrounded by stationary, company web pages, uniforms, publications, and more. If you want a happy and healthy workplace, your employees will need to band together behind the designs that you select to represent your brand. Building your company identity starts on the inside, so your employees must be committed to the brand. A good graphic design can strengthen that sense of commitment.
Professionalism
 
You want your company to make a great first impression on clients, vendors, and other entities a logo for example only has a fraction of a second to make a first impression. A design that looks cheap will cast an unfavorable light on your business, and it can be difficult to break the impression that your company cannot afford a professional design.

Communication
 
The usefulness of graphic design extends beyond your logo and your website. Graphic design can produce visual aids that will help you communicate your ideas. An informative image can transmit ideas that cannot be expressed with words alone. You can use professionally designed images to create a positive impression and avoid misunderstandings.
Efficiency and Productivity
 
Badly designed graphics can negatively impact worker productivity and general workplace efficiency. Your website is the area of your business where signs of a bad design are most likely to be observed. A practical design should include useful features, such as easy navigation, legible fonts, and appropriate colors. A website with blinding colors, tricky fonts, or hidden navigation will be a headache for clients and employees.
Money
 
Badly designed graphics can be very expensive. If you go for a cheap design, you might get a lackluster product that is not ready for print. If the design is not ready for print, you might end up spending more money on a new design. Additionally, a competent graphic designer will create a design that is not too expensive to produce. You do not want to spend a significant portion of your budget on a bad design. Fortunately, there are many modern methods, such as crowdsourcing, for obtaining professional and attractive designs.
Ignoring your organization’s graphic design needs can negatively impact clients, vendors, and employees. Utilizing an appropriate design can improve every aspect of your business. Consider the six reasons listed above before underestimating the importance of graphic design to your business.
