BRANDING YOUR REIKI BUSINESS

DESIGN LOGO

Your logo is the first impression of your business. Your logo should be simple, uncluttered, readable and not contain any complicated images that don’t relate to your business. You should keep in mind how your logo will appear in the many different types of online and printed media.

COLOUR SCHEME

Simplicity is the key to choosing your color scheme. Your goal should be to use approximately 3-6 colors on your website. There are many online resources that can help you choose your color scheme.

WEBSITE THEME

The concept of simplicity also applies to your website design. Your website is your client’s first introduction to you and your services so your website should clearly state who you are and what you can offer your client. The easiest way to ensure your website is well designed and functional across all devices is to use a predesigned website theme. A website theme will contain all of the pages and structure that your website needs.

It is essential that you check that functions such as contact us forms and any purchasing checkout processes work seamlessly across all browsers.

SET UP ACCOUNTS

While you are deciding on your business and website name, you should also determine if social media accounts with your business name already exist. If social media accounts already exist with your preferred business name you can decide to either choose a new business name or modify your social media account names. Check all social media channels before making a final decision as you may decide to use the same name across all channels for consistency.

BRANDING IMAGES

You should use a consistent design of brand images for your business logo, website branding, and social media profile pictures so that your business branding is recognizable and consistent across all platforms. This will help your visitors immediately recognize your business when they visit your website and other external platforms such as social media websites.

CONNECTING ACCOUNTS

Connect all of your social media accounts where possible and include all links to your social media accounts on your website so that visitors can have various methods of staying connected with you. Make sure you connect your accounts where possible to help make posting across various platforms easier. For example, you can link your Instagram account to your Facebook and Twitter account so that you only need to make one post on Instagram and then share it across all platforms.
