How To Brand Using Your Five Senses

 By: Kayla McDonald

 

 

Branding is one of the best ways to get noticed and help consumers remember your business. As humans we naturally use our five senses to make decisions. Our nervous system relies on sight, sound, smell, taste and touch to receive and process information about the world. That's why large companies like Google, McDonald's and Proctor & Gamble have developed brands that we remember. Each of these organizations showcase their brand with unique names, colors, shapes, music, recipes and more!

Please make brand development a priority for your business. Many small businesses fail because their idea, product or service didn't stand out to consumers. To avoid being another statistic your branding should include brand elements that can be seen (visual), heard (sound), smelled (fragrance), felt (touch) or tasted (consumption).  Strong brands use a combination of colors that draw on emotions, fonts with character traits, industry-specific shapes , background music, catchy phrases/ jingles, modern fragrances, tasty recipes and much more. Visual branding includes elements such as a logo, color scheme, and overall design aesthetic that visually represent your brand. 


Sound branding involves creating a distinctive sound or jingle that consumers associate with your brand. Fragrance branding can be used to create a unique scent that is tied to your brand and triggers positive emotions. Also, tactile branding can involve using materials or textures that enhance the sensory experience of interacting with your brand. Lastly, incorporating taste into your branding can be done through using a mix of spices and ingredients for your product.


  • What makes your business different? What sets your business apart

from competitors is the combination of these sensory branding elements. By incorporating a distinctive sound, fragrance, tactile experience, and
taste into your brand, you create a truly unique and memorable experience
for consumers. This not only helps you stand out in the market but also
establishes a strong emotional connection with your target audience. 
People can use all five senses - sight, hearing, smell, touch, and taste - to
remember your brand. By engaging multiple senses, you create a
multi-dimensional experience that leaves a lasting impression on consumers.
This holistic approach to branding sets your business apart and enhances brand recall and recognition.

What A "Domain Name" Means For Your Business

Image
  By: Kayla McDonald   At first glance, many houses may look identical on the same street. Someone new to that neighborhood  probably would mistake one home from the next. Similarly it's just as easy for business owners to confuse the meaning of a domain and website — however, they are quite different. While both are equally important in building your online reputation, knowing what a “domain name” is can go a long way in controlling your web presence  — especially if you want to sell things on the website! A domain name and website have a close relationship because they work together to display information on the internet. Here's what you need to know... A domain name (web address) is the combination of letters, numbers or symbols that you type into an address bar to view a website. Once you press enter or select the domain, the website appears.
