3 Tips for Starting Your Business with Success: From a Graphic Designer
When starting a business it’s best to start with your best foot forward. Looking professional from the start will engage your potential clients and show how serious you are about gaining their business.
Hiring a graphic designer is the best option to make your new entrepreneurial journey as successful as possible. However, when you have limited funds and are trying to start a company, it can be frustrating if you work with someone who doesn’t seem to “get” your vision. Avoid spending too much money and not getting anything to show for it by reading through these tips to find and work with a graphic designer successfully.
#1: Ask for references:
Asking a designer for references from previous clients is the best way to ensure your money and time is being well spent with them. If the designer gets offended or does not provide them, that is a clear red flag. Designers should have a slew of happy customers behind us that can attest to our products and the way in which we conduct ourselves professionally.
#2: Be transparent:
Be totally upfront with your designer. Tell them your favorite color, style of drawing you enjoy looking at, any pertinent information you want incorporated in your design, EVERYTHING. No detail is too small. When designing, I take into account all these details so that I can fully understand the business story and personality of the owner.
#3: Pencil yourself in:
This is YOUR business. No one is going to care more about it than you. As a designer I can only be as excited about a brand as its owner is. Setting aside time to go through your design options, content creating for your website, and posting on social media is crucial to your success in the beginning and long term. If you’d like this business to be your only job one day, you need to treat it like that and schedule time for it so it will grow.
