How Graphic Design for Small Businesses Can Benefit Them

Every small business owner feels drained by the end of the day. Sadly, that’s something we face every day, many of us! Having a Graphic Design team at hand sounds like a faraway dream; and because we don’t have to do it all by ourselves at ATamez Design, we offer you different plans for you to choose from. From a design day to a drastic monthly contract with a lead designer who will manage a group of senior designers who will focus only on your brands (yes, your brandssss, as in all of them, if you have more than one).

Small Business Owners don’t have to do it all alone

I know you do it all, from creating content to attract more people, to creating your products, and enhancing your services, to cleaning the floors and shelves, or removing the 20 cups of coffee from your desk/side table used as an office.

We have a long checklist of don’t forget to add X ingredient to the grocery list, or don’t forget to post your latest sale, to just post anything, really (✋ guilty!); and all the things that your potential client can see, but all the behind the scene work: accounting, cleaning, paying bills, ensuring your family is safe and healthy, forgetting to eat two meals a day, or eating two extra ones. Forgetting walk the dog and clean the cat’s litter box (yeah We both know who I’m talking to, to us!).

You got a headache from all that? Yeah, I bet. It’s fun to do it for your business, yes. It is amazing getting involved in all the aspects of our business, but it is more the fear of failure that keeps us, as small business owners or as freelancers, or keeps our business as a… wait for it… hobby! Scary word…

We both know how we hate/love that word… Hobby! It’s like one of those thoughts in the back of your head, constantly reminding you that your passion for your business might be bigger than the actual business. Which is not bad! But it can hold you back.

How can we, small business owners, let others help us?

However, we can!

Easy to say, Ana! Probably, but remember that there is a community out there ready to help you. You just haven’t encountered the right one yet.

We seek advice from the ai apps, but we don’t seek advice from the people who have emotions and feelings and those who also see the world as our potential client. There are so many Canva templates that you can use, but as long as you don’t have a defined brand, that won’t do much. It’s a cycle, you keep going to the trends.

Trends are good, but are also momentary. They come and go, and we don’t want that for our business.

How do you go from Canva template trends to a Defined Brand

There are MANY ways to do so, and all of them require time and patience. Rome wasn’t built in one day…

For a defined brand, we need to ensure we are talking with the right “voice”, giving the right message to the right people. Selecting the right colors, and the thing that makes our brand stand out from others. For that, I created the Brand Clarity & Strategy, Roadmap Workbook (long name, I know! I tend to give more than what you pay for, including the name. lol). That’s a Workbook that first helps you to define the foundation of not just your brand but of your business.

Some clients have used the same guide to apply for a loan!! Can you believe it? It helps them so much that they feel confident in applying what they defined about their businesses.

Brand Clarity Workbook for Small Business Owners

If you want to make sure your brand identity is more than just beautiful visuals and trends, start with a strong foundation. My Brand Clarity & Strategy Bundle is designed for business owners who are ready to elevate their branding but want to ensure they’re moving with clarity and purpose.

Graphic Design for Small Business Owners

Where were we? Ah, yeah. So, we went from “we don’t need to do it all to how to define our brand”. Now that we have our brand defined, we can do our designs, easy peasy!

Well, not really. We usually go back to the cycle of using what is easy to use. To see something online and try to implement it (copy) in our business, without knowing if it will work or not for our business. A Graphic Designer who has years of experience, knows how to design for a brand that has their brand and marketing defined.

Hiring a graphic designer full-time can be a big investment. But if we already have our marketing path defined, we only need the actual design. That’s where a monthly contract can come into play! A contract that delivers the design for the sale you will have in a month or two, to launch your new brand, product or service! A contract that can help with your constant design needs. You can prepare a list of different marketing campaigns and have that Graphic Design Agency, ATamez Desing focus on that!

Benefits of a Graphic Design Agency – Monthly Contract

From not having to pay them as an employee, to increasing your ROI because your designs are professionally designed.

Leaders, business owners, start-ups, businesses that have been around for years already, and still are looking for their business to suffer, or not have enough revenue, or just make back their investment. Those who need ongoing support without having to manage another/or a employee. Those who are ready, or just tired of being a hobby, if they sign a graphic design contract with us, they can potentially gain:

• Consistent, on-brand visuals (no trends), launches, communications across successful marketing campaigns;
  
• Fast and strategic execution of your brand designs;
  
• Professional assets that elevate your messaging, not distract from it;
  
• More time back, by outsourcing design instead of doing it yourself;
  
• Reduce of mental load, knowing your visuals are handled strategically;
  
• Flexibility for evolving business needs, from social content to presentations, brochures, and campaigns;
  
• A reliable creative partner, without the cost or management of a full-time hire!

The benefits sometimes feel unapproachable, but sometimes are a necessary investment. And while your competition is actively into it, you are still in your shell… (I get it, it’s scary!), but how long until they become The business to go to! and not yours. That doesn’t mean that you should just jump into it, but to step back and reflect:

The answer is in you, and you already know it!
You just have to take the step into that one.
