Here is a quick breakdown of what you'll need, brand design wise, as a new business. Your new business' brand needs to have a:
1. Compelling Name
This may come as a "no-brainer" but any business needs a memorable name within two seconds of being seen. A great name comes from a great concept or your namesake with a specificer to follow such as Danette Montoya Psychotherapy.
2. A Striking Logo
Whether you're a new entrepreneur or an established business, a polished logo will give potential customers a positive first impression. Make sure your logo is not too detailed when viewing as a quarter size, and if it is consider creating alternate logos like we did at Creative Compass.
3. A Website that Works for You!
Make sure your website can collect leads by having a custom contact form wi
th automated responses, a newsletter subscription option, able to take online bookings, integrated marketing features, and ecommerce if that's applicable to your business. Also, make sure that your website is mobile responsive!
