To be recognized wherever people go, one must establish consistency<\/strong> through and through.<\/span><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

When customers and potential clients see brands that use the same colors, fonts, patterns, logos and aesthetics consistently, they mentally associate<\/strong> those visuals to the business.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Take Ramly for example,<\/p>\n

Their brand is well-known for being ‘burger tepi jalan’ for their affordable yet delectable taste for so many years. Because of this stigma, it was no shock that customers were indifferent to Ramly’s line of cheesecakes.<\/p>\n

Netizens rallied to help them succeed and advised to change their branding as it was so ingrained into people’s minds that Ramly=burgers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

So consider this for your brand. The best way you can be consistent is with brand collateral.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Brand Collateral? I’ve never heard that before.<\/span><\/h2>\n

It’s basically any media, visual or merchandise<\/strong> used to market and promote your brand.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

It can be as small as a business card or as big as a billboard!<\/span><\/p>\n

You’ve probably come across some collateral items yourself because it’s practically everywhere<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Think your brand has enough brand collateral? Think again.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Here are 15 collateral items that you can implement in your marketing to create a better experience for your customers.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

1. Company Profile<\/span><\/h2>\n
