We’re proud to share that Elliotts at Oakvale’s new website is LIVE!

This great yet simple new makes it easy for people to get in touch, view the menu and find upcoming events at Elliott’s.

Their branding got a little refresh, bringing in more earthy tones to represent their connection to nature and the Oakvale vineyard.

With Elliott’s being one of our favourite places to meet clients for informal catchups in the vineyards, this was a project we really enjoyed - and considering the delicious Witham's Coffee keeps Powerful Perceptions powered - it seemed like a most fitting collaboration!

Who said print design is dead?

As much as we love and rely on , there are so many reasons to revisit good old-fashioned paper for certain types of collateral.

Our favourite pieces of powerful are:

➡️ Capabilities Statements & price guides for Industrial Clients. 👷

These are invaluable in a pitch meeting and to make initial contact with new prospective . Digital form to email or download from your website just doesn't have the same feel as passing around beautifully designed .

➡️ DL or A5 flyers and magazine ads for tourism and hospitality 📚

I cannot stress enough the behaviours that come into play when people are relaxing outside of work hours.
It’s true, prior to a holiday people will do most of their research digitally, but once they arrive and they’re relaxing wine in hand, it’s more enjoyable to flick and sort through pages on a beautiful magazine or flyers picked up at the airport.

➡️ Signage and posters 🪧

Attention grabbers! Yes, for we need posters and signs. We need them to be bright, big, bold and in the right places for the people we want to see them.
Geographical targeting on paid ads is great, but if your prospective customers don’t use the platforms you’re advertising on, physical posters in the right locations can’t be missed.

While we love the environmental savings of going digital on everyday documents, there’s something textural that digital alone can’t provide.

Blending print and digital by Integrating QR codes can be a great way of providing a physical signal in print encouraging people to head online for more information.

What’s the most important aspect digital and social media marketing?

Keeping up with changes.

The online environment is everchanging, which means to succeed you have to keep an eye on what’s going on, stay open minded and adapt, or risk being left behind.

A recent example of this is Instagram changing its grid layout.

Previously the grid was designed for square images of 1080x1080p, now images are displayed in a 4:5 ratio or 1080x1350p, which can completely change how your page layout displays.

Presentation matters, and how your social media page looks can be the make or break in gaining customers & followers.

➡️ Solution: Use the new resolution to create your posts and optimise your page and grid display by adapting to new preferred ratio.

Because presentation matters, that perfect grid you’ve worked hard for might not look as appealing as it did before the change.

There is a feature on mobile that allows you to change posts back to display as squares, but it’s inefficient and you’d have to go post by post, which isn’t worth the hassle of constantly fighting the default display.

Take some time to go back and, depending on how important your grid is to your business, purge some posts that don’t look good in the new format.

Navigating social media effectively can feel like looking for a needle in a haystack, but it doesn’t have to be.
