How We Rebranded, Redesigned & Redefined a Small Business

A Case Study on Innovative Sleep Solutions, Surrey, BC
The team at eVision Media loves helping small business owners rebrand—from bringing website redesign ideas to life to increasing engagement on social media.

It’s not only because we’re passionate about the work, but also because we love seeing our entrepreneurs succeed.

Now, I know it’s almost silly to mention how challenging a year 2020 has been for small businesses. I’m sure you’ve heard it a million times!

But the fact that it was such a difficult year for many small businesses made the rebranding work we’re doing for a small business like Innovative Sleep Solutions that much more impactful.

Innovative Sleep Solutions’ original website wasn’t supporting or increasing leads or sales at all. They had a finicky shopping cart system that was challenging to use.

The site featured an outdated design and a lack of compelling SEO copy. There was no mention of their values or health-centred approach, which are what set them apart from the big-box stores.

In the past, Dave and Terry had also been using more traditional advertising campaigns such as radio, TV, print and even boards at Rogers Arena to attract the attention of Canucks fans.

With numerous technical and marketing/branding issues, they weren’t getting any online sales.

While they were getting in-store purchases before COVID-19 came along, the pandemic put a stop to that.

Innovative Sleep Solutions needed to pivot fast and create a robust eCommerce site and implement a new online marketing strategy.

It was time for a fresh approach, so this is how we modernized Innovative Sleep Solutions’ brand to give them a competitive edge going into 2021.

A complete brand and website redesign. From the logo to the product pages, we made sure Innovative Sleep Solutions’ branding was consistent and engaging across all pages of the website.

Like we do with every client, we started with an in-depth brand analysis to define their unique selling proposition (USP), target audience, company vision, brand positioning and more.

This analysis reinforced the need to give their existing logo a brand refresh. It was not only outdated, but it did not reflect the healthy vibe that was needed to position them differently from other mattress and bed sellers.

The logo redesign process was a collaborative one bringing David and Terry into the mix every step of the way, ensuring the final design was one they loved and knew represented their brand positioning accurately.

Another one of our website redesign initiatives was to come up with a new tagline to differentiate the company from their big-box competitors. Because the owners pride themselves on selling natural, organic and made-in-Canada products wherever possible, “Sleep Healthier. Live Better” was the winning statement.

Our next step was to develop our website tech specs, keyword analysis and site mock-ups. (A mock-up is a layout that shows what elements will be on a web page. You don’t just start creating menus, slapping on images and putting in links on a live page!)

It’s important for small business owners to understand there’s so much more to a website redesign than picking logo colours and font sizes!

For example, a big part of the process is taking the user experience into consideration. What process flow will they go through to ensure an easy experience while on the site?

When designing and developing the Innovative site, we wanted to make sure site visitors immediately know they are in the right place and can easily find the products they need.

Additionally, ensuring a site looks great on any device, from desktops to smartphones is critical. Images and font sizes may look perfect on your computer but break or look crowded on a phone screen.

While there’s a great deal of creativity involved in implementing website redesign ideas, a lot of your success depends on well-executed web development.

Since we don’t use cookie-cutter templates, purchased themes, or DIY 3rd party site builders, our clients know they are getting the best quality-built site that will showcase their brand perfectly. The Innovative site was built in WordPress using a customized WooCommerce plugin for the shopping cart system. We also integrated Constant Contact for list building and having the ability to send abandoned cart emails to those who leave the site without finishing their purchase.

As you can see, unless you’re a marketing/technical/designer guru, rebranding your business isn’t a DIY project. There are too many important branding, programming and implementation elements at stake. No matter what industry you’re in, you should consider hiring a full-service professional web design and development company.

Read: The Importance of Brand Messaging for a Successful Website Redesign

I’m sure you’ve landed on someone’s website and felt like something was just… wrong; or maybe you were suddenly turned off without even knowing why.

Chances are, you quickly clicked back to find a competitor’s website, where you felt more comfortable and secure.

Your visitors could feel the same way if you don’t pay attention to how you come across to your target audience. That’s why it’s crucial to identify your brand style before you redesign your website.

In this article, I’m going to share five questions you need to answer to determine your business brand identity and create the most effective website possible.

Read more on our website.

~~~~~ Compelling, benefit-driven copywriting. People aren’t going to buy from a small business if the copy focuses heavily on product specs or lacks a cohesive story. It’s when you start to talk about why someone wants what you’re selling that you can truly reach your target audience.

An additional challenge for Innovative Sleep Solutions: they’re selling high-end products at the lowest price, but buying a mattress is still a considerable investment.

So, we knew we needed to quickly capture people’s attention with the right copy, rather than highlighting price points.

As part of our online marketing strategy, we looked for what problems each product solved. For example, a lifestyle adjustable bed is ideal for not only people with a medical condition such as acid reflux, but also for folks who like to read or use a laptop in bed.

Similarly, we learned a magnet therapy mattress acts like a mini electric heating pad to stimulate blood flow and deliver nutrients to repair and heal damaged tissues while you sleep. You wake up pain-free and rejuvenated.

Isn’t that much more interesting than product specs?

Innovative Sleep Solutions’ online marketing strategy also includes landing pages and blog posts with carefully chosen keywords to further explain the benefits of their products and maximize SEO for more organic traffic.

Strategic ongoing SEO, SEM & social media campaigns. Our work doesn’t end when the website is complete! To help Dave and Terry stay competitive, make sales, increase leads and engage their audience, we have now turned our focus to concentrated SEO, SEM and social media campaigns.

SEO stands for search engine optimization and is a non-paid online marketing strategy that centres around optimizing your website and content with words and phrases that people would type into a search engine.

By doing keyword and competitor research, we created target keywords to use across the website and within copy.

SEM stands for search engine marketing, also known as paid search. The most commonly used paid search tool is Google Ads.

By buying traffic that drives to the website, we’re fast-tracking the site’s way to the top of the search results, and hopefully increasing sales.

We can drive paid traffic to any page or product on the site.

We do this effectively by:

? Targeting geographic areas ? Creating ad campaigns that speak to the target audiences in those areas ? Writing relevant ad copy that will entice and compel their target audience to click on the ad ? Monitoring continually for clicks, impressions and conversions

SEM can be a great online marketing strategy to ramp up at the time of a site launch; you can then reduce your paid ad budget as you move higher up in the organic search results with SEO.

We’re also sprinting forward with an Instagram-centric social media campaign that visually showcases their healthy sleep solutions.

The process of bringing website redesign ideas to life is a collaborative, iterative one. It takes proper planning, working with a professional marketing team and testing and tweaking as you go!

It took lots of communicating and working together to get to the finalized Innovative Sleep Solutions site. But we love the process, and we now have another website and rebranding project to be proud of!

Choosing The Right Photos For Your Website & Online Brand

How smart companies use images to boost their online presence
You might think for an agency that does so much web design and blogging, we’re just writing and geeking out on code all day.

And that’s partly true – we do do a lot of writing and custom coding (see why custom built websites are usually your best bet here).

But part of being a good digital agency is understanding the role that visuals play, both in creating a website and fostering an online brand and presence.

Forget the old saying. Online, a picture is worth way more than a thousand words.

That’s why today we’re covering how to choose photos for your website and online marketing that will really pop and make potential clients remember you.

And don’t worry. Even if you don’t have the budget for a fancy photographer, there’s still plenty of ways to get great images for your website, which we’ll also cover below.

Using Images in Marketing

Humans are visual creatures, and that doesn’t magically change when we go online. That’s why using images for online brand marketing is critical.

Every image you share should invoke an emotion and represent your brand identity – whatever makes you, you. Sure, taglines and content are incredibly important (and critical if you want to rank on Google).

But images tap into and relay your uniqueness in an instant. In fact, neuroscientists at MIT have determined that it only takes 13 milliseconds to process an entire image.

So if you want to create a connection with your audience in an instant, then crisp, beautiful photos that represent your brand well are the way to go.

Today’s customers want to connect with authentic brands. The better you’re able to serve them stunning images that paint a picture, the more likely they are to become raving fans. And the more likely they are to become ambassadors for you.

In fact, a study from BuzzSumo found that articles using an image once every 75-100 words received double the social media shares as articles with fewer images.

Clearly, images matter, and can dramatically improve your website content.

READ: Is Your Business Brand Identity Memorable Enough?

When thinking of your product or service what comes to mind? What do people envision? What characteristics do they attach to what you provide? And does it stand out from your competitors?

When building a memorable business brand, these are important questions to consider; otherwise, you risk losing valuable business because your brand isn’t differentiated enough from others who are going after the same target audience as you.

Your brand should invoke an identity, an emotion, characteristics and something that makes you, you. This is where that differentiation comes into play – tapping into and relaying your uniqueness.

Importance of Images in Web Design

Given the fact that at least 38% of users will stop engaging with an unattractive website design, using attractive images in your website is a no-brainer.

But images do so much more for your website.

First, images on your website can improve your search engine optimization (SEO).

When Google scans your website, it looks at all your content, including your images. So good, optimized images can improve your Google rankings.

In fact, website content with images gets 94% more views than content without. So if you want more traffic, you need to use more photos on your website.

Using images properly can also keep people on your website longer.

And the stakes are even higher if you run an ecommerce website. According to this Kissmetrics study, 93% of buyers consider visual appearance to be the most important factor when making a purchase!

And like we’ve covered, images also keep users more engaged.

Remember that people are busy, and they tend to scan through websites. Breaking your text up with shorter paragraphs, and interspersed with interesting photos and infographics, can help make your website more accessible and user friendly

Of course, this only works if you’re using images properly. This means using only relevant and attractive images, with small file sizes. It’s also best to use images of people as much as possible.

We’ve compiled a go-to list of all the best practices for using photos and graphics in web design – on our website.

And remember, one of the most important elements of using images on your website or other online efforts is to ensure that you only use photos which you own or have the right to use, which we cover next.

How To Choose Photos For Your Website

So how to actually choose photos for your website?

First, think about the first impression you want to give. Create a brand guide that includes your brand colours and fonts, but also what look and feel you want your imagery to portray. And decide what types of images should and should not appear.

Ultimately, you want to be using high-quality images that deliver purpose and meaning. And it’s critical you have the right to use them.

If you have the budget to work with a photographer – great! Be sure to work with one who is willing to learn about your brand guide and work closely with you to create just the right images. This is one time where it really pays to be picky.

And if you don’t have the budget to work with a photographer – great! There are so many options for great stock photography available now, which can be much more affordable, or even free.

For paid stock photos, we recommend Depositphotos, which we’ve used for years without a hitch.

And if you’re just starting out and need to stick to free photos, check out Unsplash, which has a large amount of beautiful stock photos that are free to use, without attribution or permissions, for all commercial and non-commercial purposes.

When choosing stock photos, you need to be even more careful about choosing images that represent your brand well. Try to avoid stock photos where people are looking directly at the camera, which tend to be a bit cheesier and less authentic.

Finally, remember that visual clutter is actually a bad thing. Try to focus on using a few great images, smartly arranged. A good web developer can help ensure your website looks great and converts well, using just the right combination of beautiful images, captivating written content, and well-placed calls-to-action.

The better you’re able to use photos in your website and online marketing, the better you’ll be able to connect with your audience.
