Logo and Brand Identity

Branding a business for the first time, or re-branding an existing business forces it to assess its identity, its point of difference, how it believes it is perceived, and how it actually is perceived. Is your business best positioned as a local, national, international, or franchise brand? By conducting a SWOT analysis (identifying your Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats), identifying strategic goals and keeping focused on the present will influence the brand strategy. We can help you make the best decisions now and for the future. A business logo must support its identity, whilst providing visual character. A tag line implies the emotional connection to the product or service offering (Point of Difference). Do keep in mind a business needs to re-brand every 5-7 years to ensure their visual identity matches the ever changing profile of their target market. The all-encompassing approach is key to defining the essence of your core marketing message.Be unforgettable, identify yourself - Click here to view the JFM logo & brand portfolios.

Newspaper Advertising Newspaper Advertising Photo.jpg

Is your message interesting or relevant for the newspapers readers? In fact ask yourself, who are the newspapers readers?Then decide whats the most effective product or service offering the largest percentage of your target market will respond to.Use pictures or other crisp and professional illustrations. Show and tell them exactly what the benefits of using your specific product or service are. Remember benefits sell, features tell.A very simple and easy way to make sure youre making the most of your advertising budget is to write down for every month for the next 12 months what product or service you should be advertising. Dont forget to match these to seasonal demand and industry trends and then just simply review month by month.Planning a newspaper campaign in advance rather than making it a last minute effort allows you to take advantage of timing and repetition. A daily reminder – View the JFM Advertising portfolio.

Press Releases Press Releases Photo.jpg

Very often businesses have news that is worth sharing. But how do you go about it so that it actually creates business interest, potential work and consequential revenue?A press release is a great place to start. Saturating the media with your news will inevitably generate various features, snippets, images etc. Media need information and you can be a part of supplying it. It is one of the most cost-efficient and effective ways to create interest in your business. Your clients and potential client will hear about you from credible platforms – newspapers, publications, TV, radio and online news.Remember, whenever you have some business news dont simply acknowledge it in-house, it is a very real reason to expose your business to those that matter. Give them something of interest and they will get interested.Related publicity delivers a credibility that advertising alone simply can not achieve. Hit the headlines - contact JFM today.

Tradeshow Signage Tradeshow Signage Photo.jpg

Just as the rural community flocks to the local shows, so other sectors attend conferences, expos, exhibitions and displays of particular interest to them.Grandstand at the show – contact JFM today.

Vehicle Signage Vehicle Signage Photo.jpg

More than just a mobile bill board, your vehicle can be an important mark of your visibility in your own community or beyond.Carefully designed vehicle signage can pull in interest from clients you might not otherwise reach. Again, professionalism is the key. A tasteful logo, a succinct description of what you do, and your contact details, could be just the boost your business needs.Just think of the places your vehicle travels and parks in the space of a month. You have effectively got a mobile billboard in each location, but never for long enough to lose its novelty or become part of the wallpaper.Recognition of your name and brand builds up, and you become known as a community member when youre home. But when you are further afield, the recognition is one of novelty, and that in itself could bring in business.Be seen...everywhere – contact JFM today.
