And remember this, too.

When you do any of the above-mentioned things, you’re providing value.

Be proud of what you've created and how it benefits other people.

Let your motive always be to help others.

Making a sale means you're successfully solving a problem while matching buyer psychology.

This is a keystone to making repeat sales with your small business.

Easier said than done, of course.

Why compete when you can collab?

When you compete, you automatically separate yourself from like-minded individuals.

When you collab, you allow for the chance to work towards mutual goals, together.

If you're a local start-up/small business and you're looking to collaborate with us or other businesses in your niche,

DM us "Collab" and we'll help you figure out how to do just that.

Be sure to Like, Follow, and Share with others to remind them to change their perspective too.

Become Better. Never stop learning & improving.

Always walk through life with open eyes. Opportunity is plentiful. Become aware of your daily habits, your daily thoughts and feelings.

Set healthy habits and a healthy business will follow.

Here are a few habits I try to practice daily:

❍ Wake up as close to sunrise as possible (if not before). You wake up in a better mood, get more done in the day, and can implement a healthy sleep schedule.

❍ Do your toughest task, first thing in the morning. Whether you're dreading writing those e-mails, making new content, or running a 5-mile, do that tough task first. It will set the tone for the rest of the day and keep you motivated.

❍ Drink enough water. Staying hydrated keeps your mind alert and helps to keep you in peak performing condition throughout the day.

❍ Set a hard-stop time for when you end your day's work. This allows you time to prioritize other things in your day. I use my remaining hours to hit the gym, do creative writing/note-taking & balance in some fun.

Bonus: I try to always stay in a frame of mind that allows for collaboration and networking. I don't wake up thinking, "How can I make money?". Rather I try to think "How can I provide value to others while getting paid for it?".

Looking for an easy way to elevate your professional image?

Consider adding a branded email signature to all of your outgoing emails. Not only does it provide important contact information and make it easier for people to get in contact with you, but it also creates a cohesive and professional look for your brand.

Benefits of having a branded email signature:

❍ Boosts professionalism - It makes you and your business look more established and trustworthy.

❍ Promotes your Brand - When you include your logo, colours, images, & credentials, it creates a lasting impression on your recipients.

❍ Saves time - Setting up a standardized email signature with all your necessary information saves time and ensures consistency across your emails.

❍ Encourages Engagement - Adding a call-to-action, such as a link to your socials, can encourage recipients to further engage with your brand elsewhere.

DM, Email or WhatsApp us to have yours done.

A brand reveal post for KONTRAST.

I decided to use negative space for the logo design as well as a 3D cube effect to add some depth. I quite like the "contrast" between the serifs of the "K" in the logo and the square corners on the right side. It also fits nicely with the square edges of the sans-serif font I chose for the letter mark.

The colours, without question, are high contrast. After selecting the more naturally occurring colours (to mimic certain flowers), I just boosted its brightness to give the highlighter effect. Taking care not to compromise its legibility and eye strain.

What do you think of the design of the cans?

Small business owners should focus on building trust and credibility with their target audience. They should also focus on marketing the benefits of their products/services rather than its features.

When small business owners focus on the benefits of their products/services, they are able to create trust. The more people trust them, the higher their brand awareness will climb. This is because your customers and clients will remember you more if they see that you are genuinely interested in their success, and not just trying to sell them something.

This will give you the opportunity to sell more of your products/services and make more money in the long run.

Focus on the benefits of your product/service rather than its features, because in today's fast-paced world, people forget that we're humans and not robots. Be authentic & original.

It’s the little things that make a big difference, and they’re the things that make small businesses stand out.

🌵 Remember, you don't need to be big, just be unique.

Take Action.

Productive people are generally happier people.
This is for 2 reasons.

1. They feel a sense of accomplishment when taking actionable steps towards their goals & tasks.

2. They don't have time to contemplate the negative.

As a business owner you need to TAKE ACTION.
If you stagnate, so does your business. If you adapt & grow, so does your business.

The prize is only there for those who can reach it.

Take Action, Today.

Have you been confused lately as to why you're struggling to make sales on IG when you...

◇ regularly post about your product/service(s).
◇ have many followers.
◇ get many likes.

It's a common misconception that ALL you need to do is put the right offer infront of the right eyes.

Of course this is fundamental to making sales. However, it's a small piece of the puzzle.

What separates the big brands from the rest is their ability to look after their community.

◇ Make your offer clear - Have answers for their questions.

◇ Get personal - Make each individual feel special.

◇ Authentic engagement - Make each interaction unique.

Build trust and credibility for your brand and people will feel comfortable buying from you.

A sneaky peek at a project I'm working on. Notisse Head-wear. A South African hand-made & boutique female head-wear brand. Their products include uniquely designed stylish, comfortable and modest Summer hats (Cartwheel, Floppy, Cloche, Bucket & Kettle-brim styles). For a dressed-up or dressed-down look. To be worn at the beach, a fine sunset dinner at a choice outdoor restaurant, a warm picnic date amongst the flowers, or perhaps a coastal road-trip with the roof down. Their target market is young to middle-aged women (21-40) whose favourite season is Summer and love being outdoors in the sun living their best life. They need the UV-protection a summer hat provides while still maintaining, or even better, accentuating their eloquent seasonal style. DM me "Collab" if you're a designer and want to want to do a project together. Like, if you think that networking on projects inspires connecting people. ................................................................. #lumostudiosza #designcapetown #brandingstudiosouthafrica #designsouthafrica #graphicdesignsouthafrica #branddesignstudio #branddesignsouthafrica #brandingstudio #creativeagencysouthafrica #brandstrategytips #capetownbrand #brandingforstartups #brandidentity #southafricanbrands #brandingstudio #firsttimebusinessowner #smallbusinesssouthafrica #businessownersouthafrica #capetownbusinessowner #entrepreneursouthafrica #headwear #beachhat #summertime #moodboard

3 Sultry Summer fonts. Champagne Cartel - The sharp lines into beautiful curves. Makes me want to open a coconut cocktail beach bar in Bantry Bay. This font to be on the signage. Can you picture it? - Font by @tropical_type Mistica - A rustic yet well-designed typeface. The vision for this - an outdoors, deep-house club/lounge. Wooden furniture, terracotta pottery, big linen pillows & cacti. Lots of cacti. - Font by @jamescoffmandesign El Sol - Can you feel the heat emanating from this typeface? This would make interesting branding for a Cape-Malay cuisine restaurant. Especially a good sit-down place with a certain spicy selection. - Font by @jamescoffmandesign Follow, Like & Comment if you share the vision. .......................................................... #lumostudiosza #designcapetown #brandingstudiosouthafrica #designsouthafrica #graphicdesignsouthafrica #branddesignstudio #branddesignsouthafrica #brandingstudio #creativeagencysouthafrica #brandstrategytips #capetownbrand #brandingforstartups #brandidentity #southafricanbrands #brandingstudio #firsttimebusinessowner #smallbusinesssouthafrica #businessownersouthafrica #capetownbusinessowner #entrepreneursouthafrica
