Unified Branding Strategy: Bringing It All Together

Creating a unified branding strategy is key to making a retail space like Waxing In The City look cohesive and professional. It takes a lot of effort and coordination to develop branding and carry it throughout the entire space.

Understanding Branding

Some people assume branding is just a logo or some catchy color scheme and that’s just not true. It’s the overall look and feel of a business that helps it stand out and be recognizable. For Waxing In The City, this includes everything from the exterior illuminated cabinet sign. the logo blade sign outside and the interior vinyl graphics on the walls.

The Importance of Consistency

Consistency is crucial in branding. It helps customers recognize and remember the brand. This means using the same colors, fonts, and logos in all signs and graphics. At Waxing In The City, the same branding elements are used on the exterior sign and the interior graphics to create a unified look.

Developing the Branding: A Team Effort

Creating and implementing a branding strategy involves a lot of teamwork. Let’s take a closer look at the shared project management and coordination that made this project a success.

Collaborative Design Process

The first step in the project was to design the signs and graphics. This involved a lot of collaboration between Archetype, SignWorks, and Waxing In The City. The goal was to create designs that reflected the brand’s identity and met the client’s needs.

  1. Design Meetings: Regular meetings were held to discuss ideas and make sure everyone was on the same page.
  2. Feedback and Revisions: The designs went through several rounds of feedback and revisions to ensure they were perfect.

Fabrication and Production

Once the designs were finalized, the next step was to fabricate the signs and graphics. This is where the teamwork between Archetype and SignWorks really shined.

  1. Choosing Materials: The right materials were selected to ensure the signs and graphics were durable and looked great.
  2. Production Coordination: Both companies worked closely to coordinate the production schedule and make sure everything was made on time and measurements were exact.

Installation: Bringing the Vision to Life

The final step in the project was installing the signs and graphics. This involved careful planning and coordination to ensure everything was installed correctly and looked perfect.

  1. Scheduling: The installation schedule was carefully planned to minimize disruption to the business.
  2. Installation Team: SignWorks’ installation crew worked efficiently to install both the exterior illuminated cabinet sign and more recently the logo blade sign. The team is preparing for the interior graphics installation.
  3. Final Touches: Once the green light is given, the crew will install the interior vinyl graphics, completing the project.
