EP 128 - Design Diaries: Asset-Based Thinking is Hindering Your Brand Growth

A theme has come up in sales calls that I thought we left in 2020. So today, Iet's address the outdated notion of trading money for design assets without considering the long-term value they bring to a brand.    Here's a hypothetical: say you're given one hundred brand photos and 20 social templates designed for you. What do you think the value of these photos and templates will be if they're mismanaged, neglected, or misinterpreted over time? They're probably not going to continue bringing you results if your rebrand isn't fully integrated and intentionally executed over time.    That's why it's flawed thinking to go into the investment of a rebrand with the mindset of "I'm paying X dollars for X amount of assets." The fact is, assets are only the beginning of the conversation. And approaching design with such a black and white view ultimately devalues the ROI that business owners actually can see from rebranding.    You're not just paying for the website. You're paying for the high ticket client that will pay twice as much as they would have if your business was stuck in word-of-mouth land. Suddenly, they trust you more because your website is validating their interest instead of detracting from it.    In this episode, we're chatting about:  The evolution of branding and design since 2020 Why many business owners are slashing their rebrand's value over time  The importance of brand maintenance  How to actually approach your rebrand to ensure the highest ROI  Connect with me:  Website Join our email list!
