Why Your Branding Matters

A Designer's Opinion of Canva

Ultimate Guide to Better Branding

Navigating through the world of entrepreneurship requires more than just passion and dedication; it demands efficiency, organization, and creativity. That’s why I’ve compiled a list of my top 10 favorite business tools that have been game-changers in managing my tasks and boosting my productivity.

These tools have streamlined my processes, enhanced my designs, and ensured that I stay connected with my community. Now, I’m excited to share them with you to help elevate your business to new heights!

1. Canva:

My go-to platform for all things graphics. Whether it’s creating eye-catching social media posts, email headers, blog graphics, or any other visual content, Canva makes it all a breeze. Its user-friendly interface and vast template library enable me to craft professional-looking graphics in no time.

2. Flodesk:

Email communications have never been more stylish and effortless. Flodesk allows me to send beautifully designed emails, tailored to my brand’s aesthetic. With stunning templates and an easy-to-use platform, I connect with my audience seamlessly. Plus, I’ve got a special 50% off code just for you!

3. Interact:

Quizzes are a fun and engaging way to interact with your audience, and Interact is my tool of choice for creating them. What’s even better is that it integrates flawlessly with Flodesk, helping me grow my mailing list with ease. Check out our Brand Colors quiz!

4. Manychat:

This chat automation tool is a lifesaver for keeping up with responses on Instagram and sending instant access to resources like my Free Branding Friday. It’s all automated; all I have to do is set the trigger word, and Manychat takes care of the rest.

5. Showit:

As a designer, having a stunning and functional website is non-negotiable, and Showit helps me achieve just that. With its drag-and-drop feature and design flexibility, I’ve created this website that truly represents my brand, and you can find amazing templates from designers too.

6. Honeybook:

This client management system streamlines my entire client communication process, from project setup to scheduling meetings. The scheduler even integrates with Zoom, making virtual meetings a breeze.

7. Chat GPT

AI is not going anywhere and I strongly believe that it is our responsibility to use the tool just as it is—a tool. I use Chat GPT to help me create outlines or simply end the curse of the blinking cursor when I am having brain fog. But you definitely want to make sure you keep your own personality when creating content.

8. Podcasts:

I draw inspiration and knowledge from a variety of podcasts, ranging from business-centric like “Online Marketing Made Easy” and “Female Start-Up Club”, to fun and lighthearted ones like “Giggly Squad”. They keep me motivated and provide fresh perspectives on entrepreneurship.

9. Brain FM:

Focus is key when working on your business, and Brain FM provides me with science-backed focus music that significantly boosts my concentration. It’s like having a secret weapon for productivity right in my headphones.

10. Descript:

Creating video content and providing student feedback has never been easier. Descript allows me to record my screen and myself, while its AI smartly removes any filler words or pauses. Plus, it provides a full script of the recording, ensuring a polished and professional final product.

Embrace these tools, and watch as they transform your workflow, enhance your designs, and connect you with your community like never before!
