Stand Out and Plant Your Seed If we were to think of marketing like farming, we would imagine that the crop is the customer (and their revenue stream to the business) and the seeds, water, soil and fertilizer are the marketing experience. Let’s ditch the cliché fishing analogy using bait and lure techniques, which seems a bit off-putting. After all, business is about a fair transaction between the customer and the business, not a predatory affair. So planting your seed is the first impression that you set in your customer’s mind to eventually grow them into a fine crop with your other marketing strategies as water, soil and fertilizer. This could include storefront, store layout, architecture design, color schemes, logo choice, typography and use of shapes, as well as cultural markers and philosophical symbolism to describe your business. Say a Lot with a Little You might think after reading the previous paragraph that your design needs to literally say everything you do and visually describe every angle of your business. No. Avoid clutter and leave plenty of “open” space in your designs because it is more visually appealing to customers who are accustomed to simple designs, layouts and logos. Use your imagination to capture who and what your business is in a simple image utilizing symbols, shapes, fonts, typography and ideas. All of this imagination will in turn captivate and capture the imagination of your prospective customers. Signs are most often simple, but well thought out. Brainstorming and developing several concepts and ideas to choose from is always a good way to start. Call to Action You want to create a call to action, but also describe an experience. The bottom line is you want to get that customer in the door or to sign up for a membership, buy a vehicle, whatever. You must capture their minds and spirits and develop a long term strategy to further develop your brand and style, which becomes an identity in Clarksville. Choose wisely.
