Brand Yourself

[Jessica Langer]

Has InterNACHI's Marketing Department designed a logo or brochure for your inspection business? If so, don't waste it! We spend, on average, 2-4 hours on each logo, and 5-8 hours on each brochure. Brochures go through multiple InterNACHI staff before completion -- all of our available talent is hard at work to market your business, but it doesn't end with us.

Once you have a logo:

- Put it on your website
- Have new business cards and marketing designed
- Add it to your signature
- Switch out old vehicle graphics with new (if existing)


Once you have a new brochure and business card:

- Get them professionally printed! No matter how great your new design is, anything printed on your home inkjet is going to look amateur. If you don't already have a printer lined up, I recommend www.CertifiedNachiStore.com or taking the Express Lane route http://www.inspectoroutlet.com/expre...d-package.aspx

If you ever have questions about InterNACHI's marketing services, email me at jessica@internachi.org. Chances are, if you want it, we can design it.

Here are some examples of proper logo placement in design on a site.

Your logo should be the first thing that people see on the top of your page. All of these sites also avoid the common design pitfall of visual clutter. If people cannot find the information that they want immediately, an alternative option is only a click away. All of these sites utilize white space to improve legibility and avoid using over-saturated difficult-to-read colors.
