Okay so, branding is the first and the most important step for any brand and its business and no matter what the scale of the business is, you have got to have a branding strategy in order to keep moving in the right direction. We are sure that you must have seen new brands making waves when they spend huge amounts of money on their marketing and advertising and they do not hold back to pull stunts and gimmicks as well to make sure that they stay relevant but such planning can help you for a very short term goal and then most of the businesses happen to fail because you know, you cannot get everything even if you are spending money to get numbers on your digital and social platforms.

Well, there are a number of things but for this blog, we are going to be focusing on the color schemes only and we will cover the other aspects with that; let’s dive right into that now!

Your first step while working on the color schemes for branding is to understand why you are putting your business out there in the market. Keep asking yourself this question even after you have launched the brand; Who / What are you? as this will help you stay on the right track and you will be able to create strategies that matter, that will help you reach the right target audience and then you will take it forward. Here are a few things that you must know before you start working on the branding:

Know that with your branding designs and communication styles, you will be building a relationship with the people you might never meet but it the impression that matters. To create that emotional connect, you will have to cater to the needs & demands of those you are going to sell your products or services to.
Then comes the scale of your communication and we would suggest you to choose it wisely. Don’t be all over the place on any of your platforms, being minimalistic can help you grab the right person’s attention instantly so you might want to try doing that. Also, always choose quality over quantity; whether it’s words, design elements, number of services or products, be simple yet subtle and powerful.
For the color schemes, read up on the psychology of colors and see how your brands, products and everything else will be perceived. Make changes if you have to and only go live when you know that you have picked everything right.
Fonts and the tonality of the branding is as important as the colors so what you need to see is that everything that you pick for the branding has harmony in it. Whatever you put to display must be peaceful and not just for the audiences but for you as well and only then you will be able to put up a good show. So, if something does not feel right, change it, revise it and then see how that goes.
And while you are at it, list down the personality traits of the brand as well like feminine or masculine, luxurious or affordable, serious or playful etc.
