Experiential Marketing Across The World From Lagos Nigeria

The Future Of Printing In The World

Printing: The main brand purpose of this article is to help you understand how detailed and complex the print process truly is, and the value of working with someone who has the expertise to ensure your job is handled correctly. There is an enormous difference between a quality print job and simply sending your files to a local franchise print shop. Today, we open the doors of our Art/Production Department to give you an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of what the print process looks like at .

Series 1 Exposition

Graphic Design

Graphic design is defined as the arrangement of type and visual elements along with specifications for paper, ink colors, and printing processes that, when combined, convey a visual message.[1] The graphic design stage includes concepting, page layout, typography, illustration, photography selection, color decisions, and producing final computer files.

Note: While it is tempting to hire a freelance graphic designer to create materials that can be sent directly to a low-cost printer, not all graphic designers know how to properly prepare files for printing. Once a design is approved, the files must be “packaged”. Unless the graphic designer is trained in production management, the odds increase substantially for a less than satisfactory print job. The reasons vary from missing fonts and/or images, to the use of incompatible software, for example. This generates delays, cost overruns, unanticipated proofing rounds, late-stage design changes, and sometimes disappointment over the finished job. Meticulous attention to detail at each step of the process is necessary to avoid these kinds of issues.

Creation of artwork – Important facts

Creating artwork requires taking multiple factors into account. Here are some of the most important elements to consider:

Proper design software

Art must be prepared in the software that is best suited for the particular task, and in a version that is compatible with the selected print shop. If the print shop uses a newer or older version than what the art file was created with, you can run into problems. Some of the industry’s standard applications include: Illustrator, a drawing program to create logos or illustration; Photoshop, a pixel-based program to manipulate photos; and In Design, a page layout program to create a single or multi-page document.

Accurate layout

Usually, files need to be built at actual size and use bleed space when appropriate. (This eliminates room for errors with the printing estimate and final printed result). If a file is not built correctly, the printer will have to spend time (and therefore charge you a fee) to readjust files to fit the correct specifications of the job.

Approved fonts

The fonts should be consistent with your brand standard and must be included with the files sent to the printer. If the printer does not have the font used in the artwork, and it has not been included with the packaged files, the printer may simply choose to substitute the fonts, producing something that is probably similar but not what you actually approved.

Suitable image resolution

Images need to be high-resolution and large enough to fit within the assigned space. The resolution should be 300 dpi (dots per inch). Anything smaller than that might result in a loss of quality.

Precise color

As with the fonts, the colors and general tone of the piece should be consistent with your brand. That said, never trust the colors of a piece being designed on a computer as the actual colors that will turn out once printed! The reason is because a computer screen and paper printing use 2 different types of processes, RGB and CMYK, to create actual colors:

• RGB (Red, Green, Blue) is an “additive coloration” mode. Think of a computer screen with a black background. In order to see the colors, some lights of red, green, and blue are “added” to the black background. RGB is typically used to render colors on monitors and computer screens.
• CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black) is a “subtractive coloration” mode. It is intended to be applied to print on white or colored paper, and calculates the correct hues by “subtracting” from the initial brightness of the paper. The CMYK coloration mode is intended for use in paper printing applications and printing specific, exact colors.

CMYK is also referred to as “process colors,” which is different than spot colors (also called PMS – Pantone Matching System). CMYK uses four different color inks (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black) overlapping each other to achieve the full color spectrum. To print any multicolor image, the same four color inks are used. The press runs four imes to apply each ink individually.

Spot colors are pre-mixed inks that are applied only to the area assigned for each particular color. For example, to print a blue, brown, and red image, pre-mixed blue, brown, and red inks are used. In this case, the printing press runs only three times, which reduces printing costs. Click here to read more about spot colors.

We work on-site with the printer to ensure that the final printed product matches your brand colors as closely as possible and we advise on color corrections along the way if necessary.

File naming

Files must be named to allow printers to work more efficiently. For example, make sure there are no unusual characters in the file’s name or it may cause a printer’s computer to crash. They should be labeled with the correct extension: .ai for Illustrator, .indd for InDesign, etc. Perhaps this sounds elementary to some, but we have learned that this simple step significantly expedites the process.

File preparation to release for print

Before the artwork can be sent to the printer, here are a few steps we use to ensure the files are prepared correctly:

• Use of preflight software: Preflight software helps collect all the fonts and images, search for missing items, and avoid mistakes.
• Verification of page size settings and bleeds : Incorrect page settings cannot be fixed by simply scaling up or down, so make sure the document size is the final trim size. Bleed photos and other graphics that extend to the edge of a page must be set up to overlap the trim margins by an 1/8th inch to avoid white along the edge.
• File cleanup: Cluttered files not only confuse and frustrate printers, they compound the possibility of errors. Make sure to remove unnecessary artwork, delete unused colors, and verify that all the color names match exactly across all programs. An oversight such as not specifying whether a color is CMYK or PMS (or spot colors) might change the overall colors of a piece or even turn a four-color job into a more expensive five-color job by mistake.

The Quote Process – Communication with vendors is key

We always communicate with our vendors early in the process and negotiate the best prices for our clients without sacrificing quality. We discuss topics covering the purpose of the materials we will be printing, the final size, the quantity needed, the deadline, etc. All of this information is essential to determine the best type of press to be used (digital or offset), schedule press time, order paper, etc. Here are some of the elements we take into consideration:

• Size: dimensions of the piece (flat and final size)
• Stock: weight, finish, grade name, and color of the paper
• Inks: number and types of inks and varnishes (four-color process, PMS colors)
• Bleed: an 1/8th inch extension to the edge of a page
• Proofs: review of PDF and hard-copy versions
• File format: this information is very important to make sure the print shop can support our software/application and can open the files
• Finishing: type of trim, score, fold, assembly, and seal if applicable
• Printing and mailing or shipping date: this step is very important to determine which vendor and what kind of budget best suits the project

Prepress and the proofing process

Prepress refers to all the print production functions that take place from the moment the files are sent to the printer to the actual printing. These functions might include some of the following: receiving media files, creating proofs for review and approval, making any final changes/edits, creating the plates for the offset press, etc. At XINI, we use a 3-step final proofing process:

• Step 1: PDF proof (review copy/elements/fonts) – We request a PDF proof of the artwork from our vendors. This allows us to proofread the content one last time and make sure the piece contains no mistakes. It also lets us make sure the text hasn’t shifted or the images haven’t moved while the printer processed the files.
• Step 2: Hard-copy proof (review color match/paper) – We then receive a hard-copy printout, which lets us see the final document, check for discrepancies, and clarify how the layout is intended to look.
• Step 3: On-location press-check – Upon approval of the hard-copy proof, we go to the print shop for a final press-check in order to approve the paper, inks, varnishes, colors, etc.

Printing (offset vs. digital)

Printing is the mechanical process of applying ink to paper using an offset or digital press. The offset press is the most cost effective way of producing large volumes of printed materials, while the digital press is more commonly used for smaller volume and lower production cost. It is important to understand that the final product will look slightly different when printed digitally vs. offset, as well as from printer to printer. Proper and consistent paper selection is also a critical component of the process because color appears distinctively on different  paper stocks and with or without finishes (varnish, aqueous coating, etc.). So when you need to reprint, it is best to use the same methodology, on the same paper, with the same finishes, at the same printer to match the original run as closely as possible. As part of our service, we have skilled production managers who oversee the process to ensure great and consistent outcomes.

Bindery/Finish

After a job is printed, the next stage includes one or many steps depending on the end product: cutting/trimming, folding, laminating, scoring, perforating, stitching, and binding. The last step in the bindery stage includes packaging for delivery.

Delivery

Most jobs are shipped to our clients directly or delivered to a specialized facility called a mail-house or “letter-shop” when materials are to be mailed on behalf of the client. In this stage, the addresses are computer-imprinted from the customer’s mailing list database onto the printed piece, then sorted and prepared for delivery to the post office.

As you can see, the print production process is very detailed and requires a certain level of experience and expertise. Most importantly, at  , we monitor the jobs in person, from start to finish, to ensure that the highest standards are met, your brand is represented through quality materials, and that you always receive the utmost value for your investment.

Series 2 Exposition

The manuscript is finished: now you want to see the book in print. As the author, publisher or client you may already have a concrete idea of how the book is to look. Our specialists help you realise your ideas for book design. They know which layout, cover and configuration is right for your book and will appeal to readers.

The cover is an important publicity and information medium: it is designed at XINI Prints by experienced graphic designers. The book cover represents the first visible reference to the book in any advertising effort as well as the first contact between the reader and the book, conveying far more than simply the author’s name and title. If you wish to have books printed, we will be pleased to offer you comprehensive advice on the design of the book cover as well as on the choice of the correct format, binding and paper.

Prepress and planning – your book goes to print

The individual steps in the production of a book are closely connected at LONGO. Smooth collaboration between our various departments, from pre-press to print logistics, is a major factor contributing to our high print quality, punctual delivery and costing accuracy.

Small and mini print runs are perfectly suited to digital printing, thanks to digital printing, book production is now an affordable, costable option, and not just for self publishers. If a large print run is required, the speed and precision of offset printing make it the appropriate process.

After the book has been printed it must be bound. The raw printed sheets come from the printworks and are folded, bound, cut and provided with a binding. Whether for threadless binding or thread stitching, a book for the mass-market or the coffee-table, we can also comprehensively advise you on this production step.

Books are frequently shrink-wrapped in plastic foil and bundled with booklets or magazines, and thus prepared for dispatch. We also support you in all the steps that follow the print run!

The end of the book production process results in what the XINI team always delighted to hold in their hands: a finished book! Contact us for more details. or send an email to info@xinicomms.com for our quote or simply call 07082709871, 07015883269 today.

Printing Steps

There are a wide variety of technologies that are used to print stuff. The main industrial printing processes are:

• Offset lithography
• Flexography
• Digital printing: inkjet & xerography
• Gravure
• Screen printing

Additional printing techniques were developed for very specific applications. These include flock printing, letterpress, intaglio, pad printing, and thermography.

Why a certain job is better printed using one of these processes mentioned can be read on this page about choosing a printing process.

Offset

Prepressure explained to there team that In offset lithography a printing plate, which is most often made from aluminum, contains an image of the content that needs to be printed. When the plate is inked, only this image part holds ink. That inked image is subsequently transferred (or offset) from the plate to a rubber blanket and then to the printing surface. The process can be used to print on paper, cardboard, plastic or other materials, but these have to have a flat surface.

Below is a picture of a 4 color sheetfed printing press. At the far end is the intake where individual sheets of paper are automatically fed into the press. The 4 towers or printing units each print one color, typically black get printed first, followed by cyan, magenta and yellow. The stack of printed sheets is visible on the front of the machine, underneath the press console & monitor which the press operator uses to control the press.

For higher volume work offset presses use rolls of paper. The picture below shows such a much larger web press. It is so fast that the printed paper needs to be force dried. The black unit at the end of the press is an oven.

Offset is nowadays the most widely used printing technique for an extensive range of products such as books, newspapers, stationery, corrugated board, posters, etc.

There is a trend that printing promotional material is gradually migrating to digital printing while some packaging printing is moving to flexo.

You can find more information on the page dedicated to offset printing.

Flexo

In flexography the content that needs to be printed is on a relief of a printing plate, which is made from rubber. This plate is inked and that inked image is subsequently transferred to the printing surface.  The process can be used to print on paper as well as plastics, metals, cellophane and other materials. Flexo is mainly used for packaging and labels and to a lesser extent also for newspapers.

Some packaging printing is moving from flexo to digital.

Digital printing

Digital printing can be done in various ways. Two technologies dominate the industry:

• Inkjet – In an inkjet printer the image that needs to be printed is created by small droplets of ink that are propelled from the nozzles of one or more print heads. Inkjet devices can print on a wide range of substrates such as paper, plastic, canvas or even doors and floor tiles. Inkjet printing is used a lot for posters and signage. It is also economical for short run publications such as photo books or small runs of books. In-line inkjet printers are sometimes combined with other types of presses to print variable data, such as the mailing addresses on direct mail pieces.  The press shown below is the HP PageWide C500, meant for printing on corrugated board.
  
• Xerography – In xerographic printers, such as laser printers, the image that needs to be printed is formed by selectively applying a charge to a metal cylinder called a drum. The electrical charge is used to attract toner particles. These particles are transferred to the media that is being printed on. To make sure the toner is fixed properly, the substrate passes through a fuser that melts the toner into the medium. Laser printers are not only used in offices but also for small run printing of books, brochures and other types of document. These printers are also used for transactional printing (bills, bank documents, etc) and direct mail.

In 2009 both techniques jointly accounted for around 15% of the total volume of print.

Digital printing is increasingly utilized for print jobs that were previously printing using offset, flexo or screen printing.

• In short run small format (A3 size) printing, digital is taking over from offset for both color and B&W printing. Quick printers and copy shops print digitally on presses from vendors like Xerox, HP, Canon, and Konica Minolta.
• Labels are also increasingly being printed digitally.
• Billboard and point-of-sale or point-of-purchase jobs are being done by wide-format inkjet devices.
• There is a wide range of small format printers used to print on phone cases, mugs and other products.
• In book printing publishing companies start to rely more on print-on-demand. The Espresso Book Machine pictured below is well suited for that job.

There are a number of other digital printing processes that are geared towards specific niche markets:

• Dye-sublimation is a printing process in which heat is used to transfer a dye onto the substrate. Dye-sub printers are mainly used for printing on textiles, for proofing and for producing photographic prints. Some printers can print on a variety of materials such as paper, plastic, and fabric.
• In the direct thermal printing process heat is used to change the color of a special coating that has been applied to paper. This process is used in cash registers but also to add markings, such as serial numbers, to products. For this a transparent ink is used that changes color when a laser applies heat to it.
• In the thermal ink transfer printing process heat is used to melt print off a ribbon and onto the substrate. It is used in some proofing devices but seems to be gradually disappearing off the market.

Gravure

Also known as rotogravure, this is a technique in which an image is engraved into a printing cylinder. That cylinder is inked and this ink subsequently transfers to the paper.  Gravure is used for high volume work such as newspapers,  magazines, and packaging.

Gravure is gradually losing market share to offset for publication printing and to flexo for packaging applications.

Screen printing

As its name implies, this printing technique relies on a screen, which is a woven piece of fabric. Certain areas of this mesh are coated with a non-permeable material. In the remaining open spaces ink can be pushed through the mesh onto a substrate. The advantage of screen printing is that the surface of the recipient does not have to be flat and that the ink can adhere to a wide range of materials, such as paper, textiles, glass, ceramics, wood, and metal.

The image below shows a screen printing press that is used to print t-shirts.

Increasingly screen printing is being replaced by digital printing.

Additional printing processes

• Letterpress – Once a dominant printing technique, letterpress is now used for business cards, wedding invitations,…
• Flocking – used to add a (colored) velvet-like texture to paper, textiles, etc.
• Pad printing – used to print on 3-dimensional surfaces.
• Intaglio – nowadays mainly used for used stamps and paper currency.
• Thermography – This is more of a finishing process than an actual printing process. It produces raised lettering on the printed side of the paper and is used for wedding invitations, letterheads, business cards,…

A successful marketing campaign uses more than one strategy in order to optimise engagement, generate sales and build brand awareness.

It’s about utilizing all available tools, platforms and materials in order to make your presence known.

With this in mind, the power of print media should not be dismissed, just because the vast majority of people are now engaging with their favourite brands digitally.

Print media can still make a big impact, and depending on the nature of your brand, giving your customers marketing materials that they can physically handle can have a greater impact.

This is because print media allows you to instill a deeper, emotional message, helping your customers to bond with your brand, especially if you opt for something a little different.

There are many different types of print media to choose from. From newspapers, magazines, catalogues and brochures through to campaigns, business cards and postcards, there are a huge variety of print marketing materials that will allow you to build your brand.

However, whatever you choose, there are a number of basic principles you should follow in order to ensure that your print media campaign is a roaring success. These include:

• Consistent logos, fonts, colours, images and typography
• Use different examples of print media in order to maximise your reach
• Ensure that the quality of the ink and paper you use reflect your brand
• Make sure your logo appears on all marketing materials

 Is print still relevant in the digital world?

Yes! Although many of use tend to communicate via digital platforms, may people still see value in print.

Here are some advantages of print:

Personal

 Print can be easily personalised which is why it is ideal for adding copious amounts of value to your brand. This is because you can easily customise your printing materials to the specific needs of your audience.

From leaflets and business cards through to posters and stationary, there are a vast range of bespoke design solutions that can be used help communicate your brand messages, services and ethos to your target market.

Helping you to create a one to one relationship with your customers, print materials are also a great way of giving your customers something that they can keep and refer to when they need it.

Trusted

Although the digital world seems to have taken over when it comes to influencing the way we communicate and engage with our favourite brands, it’s still a relatively new phenomenon.

However, print has been around for hundreds of years, and is instantly recognisable universally.

Longevity

Due to the fast moving nature of the digital world, vast amounts of online content has a short shelf life, unless it goes viral!

However, print has the potential to stay around for much longer as it can be passed along and kept!

But that’s not all… print media is also extremely tangible, credible and it will allow you to truly establish your brand in a way that works for you. For example, your print media can really bring your brand to life, especially when it comes to experimenting with different colours, fonts, designs, textures and materials.

Engaging

Despite popular belief, print is far more engaging than digital content, especially as it can be physically held and used.

After all, the average visit to a website is around 15 seconds, whereas according to research, there is a significant amount of evidence to suggest that consumers will spend up to 45 minutes reading through a magazine.

But can print and digital work together?

Of course, they both complement each other, especially if they are utilised as part of an integrated marketing campaign.

For example, there are lots of ways that you can make print media more engaging.

Infographics – This involves using graphs and statistics to create exciting infographcis that are capable of delivering often dull data in a more engaging and user-friendly format. This allows you to target your audience in a way that is more memorable.

QR Codes – These are a great way of directing your target audience to your social media pages or website, and can be used to reveal more information about your product or service. This functionality can also be customised to accommodate your bespoke needs.

Social Media – Make sure that all of your print media includes your social media icons on the bottom, as this will help to drive traffic to these platforms.

Here at EPS Media, we have vast experience in creating bespoke design solutions that have been designed to meet and exceed your expectations, breathing new life into your brand and positioning it at the forefront of your customers’ minds.

No lets take you to why greeting cards is important Continually every season

We’ve all sent and received greeting cards. Whether it’s to celebrate a special occasion, to get into the holiday spirit or to offer sentiments to friends and family, greeting cards have become a staple of modern life. So much so, in fact, that their importance in business has been somewhat diluted. Many overlook the effectiveness of greeting cards in marketing and fostering relationships with customers and clients. Therefore, in this post, www.xinicomms.com discusses the advantages of greeting cards in an attempt to shed light on their utility in business.

Fostering relationships & increasing brand loyalty

What’s the main advantage of business greeting cards? That’s easy: their ability to foster lasting relationships with customers and clients. When a customer receives a greeting card in the post, perhaps wishing them a happy birthday after having registered their personal information online, they will be stricken with a sense of appreciation. Greeting cards demonstrate just how much you care about your audience, which, in turn, enhances their loyalty to your brand and increases the likelihood of repeat business.

Seasonal direct mail campaigns

Businesses, especially those that sell online, can benefit massively from seasonal direct mail campaigns. By sending greeting cards with seasonal messages to customers and clients, perhaps detailing limited offers or upcoming product releases, businesses can further their brand awareness during peak holiday selling periods.

Segmentation & personalisation

The beauty of greeting cards is that they can be segmented and personalised based on the varying personas and buying behaviours of individual customers. As opposed to mass mailing generic cards, businesses can hone in on the likes and dislikes of customer subgroups, altering their messaging accordingly to facilitate faster purchasing decisions.

Customisability

At XINI Prints, you can customise our high-quality greeting cards to your heart’s content. We let you upload original artwork, perhaps consisting of your business logo and marketing message, on a variety of greeting cards, such as birthday cards, thank you cards, Christmas cards and more. Choose from a variety of paper stocks and styles, including luxury paper options to give a greater sense of opulence. Finally, choose your folding option and add professional finishes like matt or gloss lamination to enhance your business reputation and make your greeting cards more robust.

Brochure Printing Is King In The Race To Be Well Represented Anywhere

Before we proceed, we would love to appreciate creativemarket.com

Putting together a professional brochure involves much dedication and several steps within the process. Even though brochure printing is the last in line for the entire process, you need to know beforehand what decisions will be involved as they affect the design. Before you begin the layout, use this guide as a reference for your brochure printing decisions.

Size

Decide which size you want your brochure to be. If you change your mind, be sure to make the changes yourself rather than asking a printer to resize it for you. Designing on the wrong size causes the end result to be stretched or important information to be cut off. Standard brochures are 8.5×11 but other sizes include 11×17, 11×25, or you could go smaller with a 4.5×5.5.

Template

Using a template will insure that you design on the correct size and will also help with bleed specifications. Check with your printing company to see if they offer templates as this will make your digital branding printing process smoother and prevent important text and images from getting cut.

Artwork

Your graphics need to be the correct resolution to avoid a fuzzy appearance. Use a resolution of at least 300 dpi for the best results. When saving your brochure to a different file format, double check your resolutions to make sure that they remain the same.

Colors

The colors that you use can vary greatly from their appearance on your computer screen to the printed page. Purchasing a printed color chart for CMYK and PANTONE colors will help you know exactly the color tone you will get in your brochure. If this is not an option for you, calibrate your design program with your monitor using software available online.

Fold

Knowing the type of fold you want before beginning to design your brochure is an absolute necessity. The type of fold you choose changes the design layout. For instance, a tri-fold brochure when opened flat will contain flaps 3, 4, and 5 on one side and flaps 2, 6, and 1 on the other side. Other fold options may be the accordion or the double parallel.

Paper

Brochures are usually printed on heavy text or cardstock. Using a text paper, such as 80# provides durability but is also easily folded. This paper stock usually comes with an gloss coating for protection and shine. If you decide your brochure needs more protection, you may want to go with a 100 lb paper and a heavier gloss coating, such as UV Gloss for sheen or a matte.

Utility options

If you know that your brochures will be placed in a 3-ring binder, you will want to have them hold-punched. For brochures that include a removable panel, such as a mail order form or discount coupons, don’t forget to ask about perforation options.

Proof

The last consideration involved in brochure printing has to do with what type of proof you desire. A proof gives you the opportunity to check for typos and correct alignment of text and images. Many printers offer electronic proofs, which are the most cost-effective choice. A physical proof, though, shows you exactly what your brochure will look like when complete, something that a computer screen just can’t duplicate.

Can you design a flyer all by yourself? that’s a question to put in mind

Flyers are considered the jack-of-all-trades of marketing print design. They start as a blank canvas and are adaptable to be whatever they need to be – an advertisement, an invitation, or an announcement. They are used for whatever creative and marketing purpose you need to promote an event or announce a public message.

Flyers are everywhere. You see them on community bulletin boards, in your mailbox, and in shop windows. It’s also not uncommon to see them trampled on the street, in the trash, or buried under a pile of notes on a table. However, if the flyers do their job right, they can catch the attention of your intended market and get them to take action.

The adaptability of flyers works well in tailoring them for marketing purposes. For designers, having skills in flyer design is a handy tool to keep and master.

But, what makes an effective flyer? What tips and techniques should you implement to produce a well-designed one? Here are failsafe tips on making a flyer – from conceptualizing the design and copywriting the ad, to distributing the copies.

Creating and Designing Your Flyer

Creating an eye-catching and relevant flyer can be tough, especially if you’re new to the craft. Figuring out your design choices to fashion an attractive and informative end product requires keen attention and careful planning.

What fonts go together? Is the color combination you’re considering suitable for the theme? Questions like these are important to determine which fundamental design tools to use in designing your flyer.

1. Make the design distinctive.

Let’s say you’re on your way to work and stopped by your neighborhood café to get your morning caffeine fix. You navigate the line and shuffle on to get an extra pack of sugar when something catches your attention. It’s a flyer for a three-day sale at your favorite shopping mall pinned to the coffee shop’s bulletin board. You’re running late for work, you’ve yet to drink your coffee, but something about the flyer made you stop to give it a second look.

This “something” is most likely a visual element of the flyer. It can be the attractive typography or the striking color combination. It can be a compelling photo or a charming illustration.

At its core, a flyer is a visual form of advertisement, regardless if it’s for marketing or not. So if you wish for your flyers to serve their intended purpose, they need to be seen, before anything else.

To make a flyer’s design stand out, make sure to have:

An uncluttered focal point.

Every design requires a focal point. It is the part of the layout that lures the attention of viewers into the design. It can be anything – an image, a font, a headline – but it’s almost always the first thing people notice about the flyer. For this reason, it is smart thinking to ensure your focal point is uncluttered and directs viewers to the important message you want to convey.

Applicable imagery.

Most flyer designers use an image because, by nature, people are visual beings. The imagery can be as basic as shapes, as multifaceted as background photos, or as fancy as custom typography. A visual element that relates to the purpose of the flyer will help viewers to easily understand its content.

It’s considerably better to use an image you created yourself. It’s more tailored, unique and personalized. However, if it’s not possible, sourcing the imagery is another option. You just have to use a high-quality image in both form and function: the former to match the theme of the flyer, the latter for high-resolution digital branding printing.

Suitable fonts.

Typography is an important element in any piece of print and graphic design. It’s the character of the font that can convey the message using this imagery alone.

Choosing the right fonts for the flyer is similar to deciding which photo or illustration to use. The fonts must suit the purpose and theme of the flyer. Picking the right ones require careful consideration because the fonts provide the distinct mood and look of the flyer.

Readability also plays an important factor in choosing fonts. Unless the theme or purpose of the flyer calls for it, avoid fonts that are overly ornate or too intricate but with digital branding printing you should be able to proofread al you have been working on.

2. Pick the right colors.

Noting creates more impact than a splash of colors when it comes to visual design. This is because the colors go beyond what is seen. Colors are highly emotional elements that can easily engage a viewer’s feelings. This is a fact that you should take full advantage of when designing a flyer.

Every color represents a feeling or a mood. For instance, if you want your flyer to exude warmth and comfort, pick something from the blue family. If you want your design to convey excitement and energy, choose red or orange. If you want a nature-inspired shade, go for green. Use these representations to enhance the quality and improve the message of your flyer.

That being said, it’s also important to realize that colors don’t have to be quite literal all the time. Sometimes, the abstract approach works, especially if the purpose of the flyer has something to do with a creative event or an artsy product.

If the purpose of the flyer calls for a black and white, then use the classic color combination. Black ink on a white paper doesn’t have to be boring or uninspired. Instead, use the simplicity of the combination to pop up other elements of the flyers like its font or image.

3. Aim for a balanced design.

If you don’t want people to throw your flyer into the trash without even looking at it, then make sure it’s appealing to the eyes. People dislike a crowded layout. When too much information is presented and finding the most important details is a struggle, you defeat the purpose of the flyer. A well-balanced, well-spaced design makes the flyer pleasing to the eyes and easier to read.

Apart from editing your content to its core, finding the right balance requires putting the white space or blank area of the layout into good use. More often than not, this area is without any graphics or words. While you may want to use the space to cram up more information, this method won’t do you any favors. Don’t think of the blank area as wasted space. It isn’t. In reality, it allows viewers to focus on the flyer’s message or focal point.

Take advantage of the alignment settings and margin tools on your design software. These help in making a heavy-looking flyer more balanced.

Composing the Content of Your Flyer Is Important

For a flyer to do its job correctly, it must be both well-designed and well-written. The art of the flyer and its copy must work hand-in-hand to produce an effective print advertising tool. If you fail on either task, you’ve basically wasted your resources. You must have a well defined digital branding printing idea on your mind before making it real

Content is important to sustain the attention of the people enticed by the visual design of the flyer. What they see may be the first thing that catches their attention, but what they read will make or break the intent of the flyer. If you disregard your flyer’s content, then you’re missing out on a lot of opportunities. That’s something you simply can’t afford.

Here are tips on how you can capitalize on the content of your flyer making its overall design more relevant and compelling.

1. Strategize your content.

Plan and write your content carefully. What are the details you must prioritize? If you have an extra space to fill, what sort of information would you like to impart to your readers?

Set aside some time to list and trim down your copywriting ideas. Pinpoint the pieces of information that must be included in the content, making sure that they will match the layout of the flyer. In this type of print ad, less is usually more.

The job of the flyer is to attract the viewer through the design and give them information in a straightforward manner. Overwhelming the readers with too much data will just make them walk away.

The best way to trim down your content is answering the five simple questions: who, what, when, where, and why?

2. Organize your content

Once you’ve prioritized which pieces of information must be part of your flyer’s content, it’s time to organize them correctly. In a designer’s world, this is known as typographic hierarchy. In this context, it’s basically arranging the texts on the flyer in a way that, at a glance, viewers know right away what info is most pertinent and where to find the additional details.

Typographical hierarchy is mainly about prioritizing the most important information. Whatever is important (ex. event title, the name of the product/company, promo codes, etc.) should have the most visual weight. Putting the information on the top part of the layout will make it more visible, too.

There are different ways to organize a flyer’s copy. These include font (style, weight, and size), bullet and number points, visual cues, text boxes, alignment, and proximity.

3. Have a clear purpose.

Even though flyers are adaptable by nature, each design must have a specific purpose. If you’re opening a new business and want to advertise it, create design and content that focuses on your products and your opening. If you’re using the flyer to promote a school or church concert, have a specific message explaining who will perform and when and where the event will happen.

Whatever is the main purpose of the flyer, it must be highly visible. Don’t make your viewers scour through your print ad just to find out what it’s all about. The clearer your copywriting is, the more likely you’ll get a positive response.

Also, if possible, offer an incentive to your audience. Magnet words like “discount” or “free” will boost your chances to achieve your goals. Make sure the incentives have a prominent place on the flyer to easily attract your market.

Getting Favorable Results from Your Flyer

The flyer is a great tool to reach out to your target audience. It’s an opportunity to introduce yourself to them. Here are tips to do just that:

1. Add your personal (or professional) brand.

If you already have a personal brand (or a professional brand for your business), incorporate it into the overall design of the flyer. This will help people recognize your name, product or service instantly. If you’re creating a flyer for an established individual or company, check their brand guidelines and work with their branding tools such as brand color, logos, and fonts.

Having a flyer that is cohesive to your brand will boost your marketing efforts. It will also show consistency and make it more memorable for your target audience.

2. Add a call to action.

You’ve done a great job on your design and you’ve nailed your copywriting. It’s time to seal the deal. More often than not, all you need to do is ask. The call-to-action approach is a tried-and-tested marketing concept. It’s easy to do yet often overlooked.

If you want the viewers of your flyer to do something, then simply ask them. Call-to-action words like “visit us today” go a long way in luring your audience into actually visiting your place or website.

It’s important to address your audience directly. It will make them feel like they are a part of something. The key here is to make the call to action friendly and conversational. You don’t want your readers to feel pressured to do what you ask.

3. Make and distribute digital copies.

There are traditional ways of distributing flyers such as mailing them out or pinning them on public bulletin boards. But if want wider reach, make and distribute your flyers digitally. You can send these e-flyers through emails, post them on your website, and share them on your social media sites.

Make sure the digital copies of your flyers are suitable for its online purpose. This means adjusting the colors and file type to look its best online. Flyers have long been used to advertise a product or promote an event. It’s a tried-and-tested marketing tool you should use. Your digital branding printing strategy must be accounted for always in order to get the best out of your branding.  XINI Prints as an established digital branding printing company in Lagos Nigeria is always set to blow the mind of its client through spotless digital branding printing to the best of time.

Now Lets Consider different types of printing and how you should keep up with digital

DIGITAL Printing vs Offset Printing Explained

What’s the REAL difference, and does it matter?

So, what’s the distinction between digital and offset printing? Printing is printing, right? Not exactly… Let’s take a look at these two printing methods, their differences, and where it makes sense to choose one or the other for your next print project.

What is Offset Printing?

Offset printing technology uses plates, usually made from aluminum, which are used to transfer an image onto a rubber “blanket”, and then rolling that image onto a sheet of paper. It’s called offset because the ink is not transferred directly onto the paper. Because offset presses run so efficiently once they are set up, offset printing is the best choice when larger quantities are needed, and provides accurate color reproduction, and crisp, clean professional looking printing.

What is Digital Branding Printing?

Digital branding printing doesn’t use plates the way offset does, but instead uses options such as toner (like in laser printers) or larger printers that do use liquid ink. Digital printing shines when lower quantities are needed; think of a run of 20 greeting cards or 100 flyers. Another benefit of digital printing is it’s variable data capability. When each piece needs a unique code, name or address, digital is the only way to go. Offset printing cannot accommodate this need. Learn more about digital branding printing options and capabilities.

While offset printing is a fantastic way to produce great-looking print projects, many businesses or individuals do not need large runs of 500 or more, and the best solution is digital branding printing.

What are the Advantages of Digital Branding Printing:

• Setup costs are lower for short runs
• Print only the amount you need, when you need it
• Lower minimum quantities (as low as 1, 20 or 50 pieces)
• Inexpensive black and white digital branding printing
• Variable data capability (names, addresses, codes or numbering can be done easily)
• Improved technology has made digital quality acceptable for more uses

What are the Advantages of Offset Printing:

• Large quantities can be printed cost effectively
• The more you print, the cheaper the price per piece
• A large variety of paper types with custom finishes can be used
• Special custom inks such as metallic and Pantone colors are available
• Highest possible printing quality, with greater detail and color fidelity

Offset and digital branding printing are both useful printing methods. Each have particular benefits depending on your project’s requirements. When you need larger runs of a project, into the hundreds or thousands, or are using a specific, brand-centric Pantone color, offset printing is the only way to go. You can also use a much wider variety of custom papers and specialty inks, such as metallic or fluorescent inks in the offset process.

If a small run of less than 100 or the need for individual addresses or information is required, digital is your solution. The best part is that as a business, your needs can be met with either of these choices, and the high-level of quality means you get a printed product that will make you look great!

Printing Has left its earlier seats to a digital branding printing and everyone must need to catch up with the new insight so that you achieve more.

The current business climate favours contemporary marketing channels such as social media, email newsletters, retail apps and so on. But poster advertising isn’t dead, yet. High streets remain inundated with large format posters highlighting the best of what brands can offer, demonstrating their ongoing utility in advertising to this day. In this post, we’re going to convey the importance of posters in advertising your business by detailing their main business advantages. Posters printing is still a real deal for an A class company till date.

What is poster advertising?

Large format poster printing is a perennial marketing tool used by businesses across the globe. Printed posters are perfect for fostering brand awareness due to their large size and versatility – they’re equally as effective inside and out! Indoor posters, typically found within retail premises, tend to be sized at either A4 or A3. On the other hand, outdoor posters require a much larger size to remain visible to passers-by. Outdoor posters can either take the form of 6 sheet Adhsels for bus stops, or 48 and 96 sheet options for billboards.

How effective are posters in advertising?

Listed below are the main advantages of poster advertising:

• Versatility
• Affordability
• Exposure

Versatility

By far the main advantage of poster advertising is its versatility. Once you have honed in on where the majority of your target audience is likely to be, your printed posters can be placed almost anywhere. For example, a public transport advertising poster could be strategically placed within a highly congested area to highlight the benefits of taking the bus or train over waiting around in traffic for an extended period of time.

Affordability

Unlike most modern advertising methods which require ongoing payment, such as PPC or social media advertising, poster advertising simply necessitates a one-off payment from a dedicated printing company. xinicomms.com offer indoor and outdoor poster printing for a fraction of the typical cost. We use top of the range Digital Presses to ensure sharp imagery, bold colours and easy-to-read text. As explained in the following section, your investment will pay for itself through significant increases in brand exposure and lead generation.

Exposure

Poster advertising is the ultimate brand reinforcement tactic. Because of the way in which your printed posters can remain at a location indefinitely, it’s likely that members of your target audience will come into contact with it on numerous occasions. This ongoing brand exposure will render potential customers more comfortable with your brand, thus increasing the likelihood of enquiries.

Effective brochures are synonymous with business success. They offer customers the ability to get a concise and engaging overview of the products or services that your business provides, making them the perfect digital printing solution for trade shows and exhibitions. With that said, underwhelming brochures that are lacking in vibrancy will almost-always fail to strike a chord with potential customers. Therefore, in this post, we’re going to lay out our top tips on how to prepare a brochure to spark interest in your brand.

What is a brochure?

As mentioned, printed brochures offer an effective way to highlight your business’s products, services, contact details and more! They’re highly versatile, perfect for use in trade shows, exhibitions, direct mails campaigns, no matter the industry in which your business operates.

Advantages of brochures

See below a list of some of the advantages of using business brochures:

• Easy distribution – after having conducted some persona research, your printed brochures can be strategically placed in the locations in which potential customers are likely to be.
• Enhanced brand trust – by taking the time to create an amazing brochure, you will elevate your brand reputation and establish yourself as an authority within your field.
• Cost-effectiveness – business brochures are a relatively low-cost marketing tool. Plus, when you buy in bulk, cost per unit will be decreased, thus saving money on overhead costs.

PRINTS PRICE LIST

How to make a brochure

See below our top tips on how to prepare a brochure:

• Brand-centric design – Remember, a printed brochure is an extension to your business. Therefore, it’s imperative that you demonstrate your brand’s core values and design it in such a way that is consistent with other channels, such as a website or social media page.
• Less is more – When designing a brochure, we recommend sticking to a simple layout using a clear, easy-to-read font. Overly artistic text crammed onto a confused and muddled page is a surefire way to dampen down customer interest.
• Quality matters – Incorporating high-resolution imagery on high-quality paper and finishes are essential for creating the perfect business brochure. When customers notice the time and effort you have put into your printed brochures, they’ll be convinced that you’ll put the same time and effort into them.

How to fold a brochure

There are multiple ways to fold a business brochure (or folded leaflet). Listed below are the most common, along with a brief description:

• Half fold – As the name suggests, half fold brochures are folded in half along the centre creating 4 separate pages, including a front-cover, back-cover, and two internal pages.
• Z fold – A ‘Z’ fold is creased twice, creating 6 individual pages that can be utilised as different sections within the printed brochure.
• Roll fold – The outer section of roll fold brochures fold over one another, creating three separate sections.
• Gatefold – An effective way to highlight popular products, gatefold brochures have their outer flaps folded to meet in the middle.

How are business cards made?

Posted by XINI  Digital Printing Live In Lagos, Nigeria.

We all know that high-quality business cards can elevate your brand’s reputation and facilitate business growth, but do we know how they are actually made? You might think that it’s a simple enough process. But in fact, there are a lot more intricacies than you might think. By providing an informative step-by-step guide, XINI Prints which is a subsidiary of the fastest growing brand communications company in Africa is going to provide the answer to everyone’s burning question: “How are business cards made?”What paper to use for business cards?A key aspect of choosing the right paper for business cards relates to paper stock. Stock, for those that don’t know, refers to the thickness of the card itself – the thicker the card is, the better! Although XINI Strategically offer business cards from 300gsm upwards, to really strike a chord with your potential clients, we recommend investing in luxury business cards.

Luxury business cards at XINI Printing Press  range from 540gsm to a staggering 1190gsm. By handing out our luxury business cards to customers, clients and partners, you’ll show your business in the best light possible, sparking interest in your brand and what it has to offer. Remember: no one wants to be handed a flimsy, lightweight and standard quality piece of stationery.

Best finish for business cards?

The perfect business card finish is dependant on the end product you want to achieve and/or your brand’s core values. For those who want a contemporary, muted and sleek effect, we recommend going with matt lamination. Further, matt lamination is more effective on business cards that are text-heavy.

If you want your business cards to sing, go with gloss lamination. This provides a shiny and glittering effect that really does stand out from the crowd. Gloss lamination is further recommended for business cards with lots of imagery and vibrant colours.

What to put on a business card?

It may seem obvious, but the information included on business cards will have a significant bearing on their utility to potential customer and clients. At a minimum, your business cards should include:

• Name
• Business Name
• Job Title
• Contact Number
• Email Address
• Website
• Logo
• RC Number if Available
• Easily reach social media handles

The greatest difference between digital printing and traditional methods such as lithography, flexography, gravure, or letterpress is that there is no need to replace printing plates in digital printing, whereas in analog printing the plates are repeatedly replaced. This results in quicker turnaround time and lower cost when using digital printing, but typically a loss of some fine-image detail by most commercial digital printing processes. The most popular methods include inkjet or laser printers that deposit pigment or toner onto a wide variety of substrates including paper, photo paper, canvas, glass, metal, marble, and other substances.

In many of the processes, the ink or toner does not permeate the substrate, as does conventional ink, but forms a thin layer on the surface that may be additionally adhered to the substrate by using a fuser fluid with heat process (toner) or UV curing process (ink).

Fine art digital inkjet printing is printing from a computer image file directly to an inkjet printer as a final output. It evolved from digital proofing technology from Kodak, 3M, and other major manufacturers, with artists and other printers trying to adapt these dedicated prepress proofing machines to fine-art printing. There was experimentation with many of these types of printers, the most notable being the IRIS printer, initially adapted to fine-art printing by programmer David Coons, and adopted for fine-art work by Graham Nash at his Nash Editions printing company in 1991. Initially, these printers were limited to glossy papers, but the IRIS Graphics printer allowed the use of a variety of papers that included traditional and non-traditional media. The IRIS printer was the standard for fine art digital printmaking for many years, and is still in use today, but has been superseded by large-format printers from other manufacturers such as Epson and HP that use fade-resistant, archival inks (pigment-based, as well as newer solvent-based inks), and archival substrates specifically designed for fine-art printing.

Substrates in fine art inkjet printmaking include traditional fine-art papers such as Rives BFK, Arches watercolor paper, treated and untreated canvas, experimental substrates (such as metal and plastic), and fabric.

Digital Printing Press

For artists making reproductions of their original work, inkjet printing is more expensive on a per-print basis than the traditional four-color offset lithography, but with inkjet printing the artist does not have to pay for the expensive printing-plate setup or the marketing and storage needed for large four-color offset print runs. Inkjet reproductions can be printed and sold individually in accordance with demand. Inkjet printing has the added advantage of allowing artists to take total control of the production of their images, including the final color correction and the substrates being used, with some artists owning and operating their own printers.

Digital inkjet printing also allows for the output of digital art of all types as finished pieces or as an element in a further art piece. Experimental artists often add texture or other media to the surface of a final print, or use it as part of a mixed-media work. Many terms for the process have been used over the years, including “digigraph” and “giclée”. Thousands of print shops and digital printmakers now offer services to painters, photographers, and digital artists around the world.

Notable digital laser exposure

Digital images are exposed onto true, light sensitive photographic paper with lasers and processed in photographic developers and fixers. These prints are true photographs and have continuous tone in the image detail. The archival quality of the print is as high as the manufacturer’s rating for any given photo paper used. In large format prints, the greatest advantage is that, since no lens is used, there is no vignetting or detail distortion in the corners of the image.

Digital printing technology  (from bet9ja designs and visuals can be portrayed with the best looks and values) has grown significantly over the past few years with substantial developments in quality and sheet sizes.

Digital printing has many advantages over traditional methods. Some applications of note include:

• Desktop publishing– inexpensive home and office printing is only possible because of digital processes that bypass the need for printing plates
• Variable data printing– uses database-driven print files for the mass personalization of printed materials
• Fine art – archival digital printing methods include real photo paper exposure prints   but not the facebook type and giclée prints on watercolor paper using pigment based inks.
• Print on Demand– digital printing is used for personalized printing for example, children’s books customized with a child’s name, photo books (such as wedding photo books), or any other books.
• Advertising – often used for outdoor banner advertising and event signage, in trade shows, in the retail sector at point of sale or point of purchase, and in personalized direct mail campaigns.
• Photos – digital printing has revolutionized photo printing in terms of the ability to retouchand color correct a photograph before printing.
• Architectural Design – new media that conforms to a variety of surfaces has enabled interior and exterior spaces to be transformed using digitally printed wall murals and floor graphics.

—Prints & Printing in Lagos, Nigeria

As we soar into a new year, let’s look back on the 25 most read thought pieces of 2015 on Branding Strategy Insider. From first person accounts of iconic brand strategy to shifts in brand architecture, brand differentiation and storytelling strategy to detailed steps for brand development, we kept our focus on the needs of marketers in a changing world. We learned, we enjoyed and we wish the same for you.

1. The Brand Brief Behind Nike’s Just Do It Campaign: Just Do It is an example of a brand campaign that tapped deeply into the authentic character of Nike’s brand values and brand purpose. But, few people know about the internal conversations that led to the ad brief that went to Nike’s agency Wieden+Kennedy (W+K) to create the campaign. Until now. (An exclusive first person account of events)

2. Twenty-One Different Types Of Brand: We often talk about “brand” as if it is one thing. It’s not of course –  in fact, the meaning and the use of the term differs, quite markedly, depending on the context. By our reckoning, brand is categorized in at least 21 different ways.

3. The Rise Of The One Brand Strategy: The biggest brands are moving down the brand relationship spectrum away from the more independent, pluralistic architectural options typified by the house of brands and towards the more controlled, singular positions that occupy the bottom of the chart.

4. The Death Of Digital Marketing Is Upon Us: Marketing has been changed, and changed utterly, by the digital deviation. At a tactical level our discipline is barely recognizable as the one that started the new century. But on the strategic plane, it is very much business as usual.

5. Developing A Powerful Brand Purpose: A sizzling brand purpose sets out how a company intends to change the world for the better. Its role is to unite customers and culture alike in the pursuit of that intention. It’s a statement of belief, of hope, of pursuit.

6. Seven Rules Of Brand Management: 1. Remember Your Roots. Brands too often forget about or ignore their origins, and marketers in the English-speaking world are the guiltiest of it. For example when Starbucks lost its way, the real problem was that it forgot its origins. It took former chief executive Howard Schultz to return to the company and help rediscover its roots.

7. Luxury Brand Strategy: Considering a luxury brand strategy? Begin with the fundamentals. Luxury brands don’t start with prestige and premium – they begin with a founder who inevitably comes from the middle of society rather than the top. Madam Chanel was an orphan, Guccio Gucci a merchant’s son from Florence – founders are artisans not aristocrats.

8. The Differences Between Brand And Reputation: Branding and reputation are tightly linked but not synonyms. They share approaches and goals. Both are shaped by communications and both seek to improve perceptions. But they are different and every marketer should know how and why.

9. Eight Ways To Build A More Valuable Brand: We talk a lot about the pressures on brands to perform and about the difficulties of staying competitive in huge and rapidly changing markets. Nevertheless, global brands experienced a 12 percent increase in value in 2014 – and there are powerful lessons for all those responsible for brands in how they did that.

10. Seven Signs Your Brand Is Losing Focus: If your branding feels like it’s drifting, here’s 7 sure signs that you’re not focusing on the right things.

11. Seven Components Of A Powerful Brand Strategy: A powerful brand strategy combines ‘the logic and the magic’ – that mix of rational and emotive elements that, together, combine to give a brand engagement, connectedness, distinction and focus.

12. Is Brand Differentiation Still Possible?: Short answer – yes it is, but not in the way it was. We’ve been drawn into the innovation myth – the belief that brands can invent their way to market dominance. Most brands will never do that.

13. How Brands Make Emotional Connections: Emotional connection is one of the five drivers of customer brand insistence as outlined in our Brand Insistence brand equity system. (The other four drivers are awareness, relevant differentiation, value and accessibility.) The consumer must first know your brand, then like your brand, and finally trust your brand and feel an emotional connection to it. People become emotionally connected to a brand for a number of reasons.

14. Brands Need To Be More Interesting Or Else: Marketers love what they do and with good reason. It’s exciting, stimulating and inspiring to work on a great brand. But the rise of ad-blockers proves something no-one wants to admit. Brands are failing to maintain interest. Consumers want out of the messaging. Literally.

15. Three Phase Brand Development Strategy: Strong, enduring brands are built upon a rigorous understanding of themselves, their customers and the competitive marketing context. The following branding development strategy is one that has been used across different categories and industries with great success.

16. Ten Reasons Why Rebrands Fail: Plenty of brands try to re-set the market’s understanding of their brand and are well and truly spanked for doing so. If rebranding is the hot topic of conversation at your place right now, here’s 10 reasons to leave things as they are.

17. Five Things I Learned Building The Starbucks Brand: Five things that helped shift Starbucks onto a more soulful and iconic brand development path. (An exclusive first person account of events)

18. The Costly Brand Strategy Of Playing Not To Lose: Playing not to lose cost Reebok their advantage over Nike. Ground they have never regained. Brand marketers must never lose sight of this, no lead is safe and the only strategy is to play to win.

19. Seven Ways To Craft A Brand Counter Story: Stories add to the humanity of brands. They help consumers think through and act upon a narrative that is fundamentally rooted in human truths. Stories generate empathy. We see ourselves in the tale. Or we see a side of ourselves. Or we see the ‘me’ that we would like to be. Without that narrative, everything is dominated by features, data and discounts.

20. Integrating Business Strategy And Brand Strategy: Brand strategy, business strategy, business model strategy and competitive strategy need to be a finely woven tapestry.

21. Why Leading Brands Are Hard To Beat: If your task is to try and gain market share on a leading brand, you have a much more difficult task. Rather than spending a huge amount of money on the supply side with lower prices and promotions in what will still likely be a fruitless exercise in taking over the leadership position, your time and money may be better spent on innovation. Are there opportunities to speak to shifting consumer needs?

22. Stop Creating Meaningless Brand Values: Whether your company is able to find a path to distinctiveness or not, you should at least stop spending valuable company time coming up with and then disseminating lists of values that are the same as everyone else’s and do nothing to advance a company’s performance or operating practice.

23. Why Price Establishes The Brand Experience: Price, when it is talked about, should be the clear and present underwriter of the experience. Chanel shouldn’t ever seem cheap. If it is cheap, it’s a fake. Walmart shouldn’t seem expensive. Neither should Coke.

24. Building Brand Connections In A Digital World: For brands to gain meaningful connections through story sharing on the social web these three pillars must be present.

25. Celebrity Brand Licensing: Barry Williams: Barry Williams literally grew up in front of America as Greg Brady, the oldest of the Brady sons on the hit TV show The Brady Bunch. We sought him out to find out more about what it was like to grow up Brady, what brands can learn from a show that has never stopped airing and what opportunities exist with his iconic brand.

*26. (Honorable Mention) Eight Keys To Transforming Brand Culture: You don’t fix what’s not working by doing more of it. That’s true of cultural performance; and it applies equally to how companies should approach cultural transformation for their brands.
