Do you send marketing emails?
Should you send marketing emails? And how do you keep them on brand?

If you’re an e-commerce brand you probably have a link to email subscriptions on your website, but if you don’t, don’t worry this is easy to remedy and can help you keep your customers engaged with your brand longer, and keep them returning to buy from you again. 

Why should you employ email marketing as a tool to improve your overall brand awareness?

Well, first things first, your customer journey shouldn’t stop once they get to your website, or once they’ve made a purchase 🛑 We want to keep them excited about receiving their item, engaged enough to leave reviews, and ultimately returning to buy from you again.  

Email marketing offers a fantastic way to talk directly to the people who are already buying from you and are further down your conversion funnel.

Keep them on brand by matching your -
⭐Typefaces
⭐Colours
⭐Photography Style
⭐Tone of Voice

Love a good mood board 😌

This is my first step in a branding process after I have my discovery call with you. This is the way I begin to take all my initial gut feelings and thoughts about everything you've told me, and start to turn it into something visual.

Often my mood boards are centered around colours that resonate with your brand story, but I like to include texture, some fonts and images that conjour up different emotions.

For Carolina of I wanted to reflect the inviting and down to earth, authentic, Italian destination weddings she's passionate about, with warm and rustic tones and just a hint of the romance of old world Italy thrown in.

Deciding on your businesses look and feel is often quite difficult, you know what you want, perhaps you can see it in your head but you just can't seem to get it right. Maybe you have several ideas and can't seem to bring them together, or you might be in the dark all together.

If your branding is feeling illusive or alien to you fear not I've developed a series of questions that help uncover that look and feel you're struggling to grasp.

To me branding is 1 part analytics, 1 part intuition and I start all my projects with a one to one chat where I get to know you and all the dreams you have for your business, and your true brand personality.

If you feel like you need help bringing your vision to life get in touch at [email protected] and let's schedule a chat.

As we approach a new year it's always a great idea to schedule in some time to review the year, take stock of what you've learnt, how you've changed and what you want to improve next year. Just like you your business is constantly changing and growing and every now and then in need of a little update to keep you moving towards your next goal as you tick off the last. 

Here's some areas to review as you move forwards into your next year as an independent business. 

1. Check yo self - No but really is your brand's personality saying what you want it to or does it need a little adjustment? Brainstorm your keywords and see where the gaps are between who you would like to be and who you are showing up as. 

2. Imagery - Is your imagery hitting the mark? Are your lifestyle shots, banners or social media images reflecting your brand personality clearly? Are the listing images for your eccomerce site all cropped the same way and well lit, with multiple angles and shots of any details?

3. Website - Is your site easy to navigate and do you have anything new you want to add to your site? If you are an ecommerce site do you have a customer retention system in place to stop people abandoning their carts? 

4. Email Marketing - Do you have emails set up and ready to engage your already loyal customers? Email marketing can move a lot of your buyers from a one time purchaser to a repeat customer. If you do review your frequency, and what you are saying with the content and design are they aligned with your brand.

5.Social Media -  Is your current social media strategy working? If not, here are some areas to consider. 
Are you on the right platforms / using the right platforms for the right thing?
And video is taking over so it's time to get brave the other side of that camera sis.

6. PR - Do you take out ad space in local mags? This can be a great way to engage your local community. 

7. POS - If you have a real life shop are your points of sale ready for the new year and the next seasonal gifting periods? Are you in love with your packaging? It's your business you deserve to have it your way.

CLIENT WORK - Packaging for

Well it's been a hot minute, how is everyone doing? Are we feeling better now we're allowed to see other humans again?

I've been busy fulfilling all the amazing projects you guys have been sending me. This one has been being kept on the down low for a while whilst we waited for the products to be launched, but at last the time has come, these are now available on the website and will at some point be making it into garden centres and... RHS Chelsea "cue internal scream of joy" it is super gratifying to finally have some packaging on a product that people can actually buy, it's been a dream since University.

Tara and the team at Freckleface wanted to match the packaging for their new tinned candle range to the existing wax melt tube packaging but also wanted to add some new botanical illustrations.

For each scent I created different botanic illustrations incorporating ingredients and echoed the black and coloured areas on the wax melt packaging as well as the lines that have all come to form part of Frecklefaces core branding. The illustrations are now being taken forward into the catalogue I'm currently working on, and a design for a new scent is also in the works.

Thanks to for sending through these lovely photos of the final product ❤
