Ciao Amici,
So, you think hiring a branding agency might be too expensive?
Fear not! Here are three "budget-friendly" alternatives.
But remember, you get what you pay for! π
The DIY Brand Kit:
Roll up your sleeves and dive into the chaotic world of Do-It-Yourself branding! Who needs years of expertise when you have an all-nighter and a free logo maker? Just be ready for a logo that looks like a Picasso painting... if Picasso was a five-year-old.
Ask Your Niece/Nephew Who's Good with Computers:
Theyβre always on their phone, right? How hard can it be?
Bonus: You pay them in pizza slices instead of dollars. Just don't be surprised when your brand voice sounds eerily similar to a TikTok trend from 2020.
Use a Magic 8-Ball:
Decision-making made easy!
Should your logo be green? "Ask again later." Is your tagline catchy? "Outlook not so good." Perfect for those who enjoy a gamble. Who needs strategy when you have fate?
All jokes aside, while these alternatives might save you a dime today, nothing replaces the strategic insight and polished execution a professional creative/ branding agency brings to the table.
Invest in your brandβitβs worth every penny!
To your unstoppable success,
-Steven βοΈπ
