Branding in a Card

Remember those days when you were a kid, and the other kid was holding a catalogue of Card Templates and Sticker to order. And everyone would crowd around them and start their ordering. Eager, you would go home and ask your parents for RM 10 so that you can place a "booking" too. Then when the cards arrive with pretty colours, unicorns and rainbows, you give it to your friends. You looked "cool".

Today at 24, I shake hands and get cards as well. Time has never changed. No matter what, cards have evolved themselves from rainbows to more corporate colours and with one sole purpose - branding.

The Silicone Queen

I met a lady which was really keen to repackage her entire silicone lingerie range. Her products were relatively simple and she said that a consumer uses her silicone products best when they are using bare back dresses, low cuts and so on. The problem she faced however was the overall image of her products.

One problem I always face with Chinese (mind you, I'm Chinese as well), is the fact that Chinese individuals always want EVERYTHING on their package, business cards, et cetera. The good news is, its like a walking brochure. Bad news is - apart from it looking like you are a very 'kiasu' Chinese, is that it looks like you're screaming "HI I AM DESPERATE, PLEASE BUY MY STUFF. I SELL THIS THAT AND EVERYTHING. OWH.. HERE IS ALSO SOME OF MY PICTURES AND YOU KNOW IF I CAN FIT MY CHILDREN'S PICTURE IN TO SHOW YOU I AM A FAMILY GUY/GIRL, I WILL TOO'. One thing individuals must realize is, its not about telling the whole wide world what your product can do and keep pushing out, forcing yourselves into the minds of consumers, but instead - brand yourself in a way that consumers themselves open their doors to remember what your product actually is and what it can do.

The concept of this silicone range was to simplify her old image which had almost 50% irrelevant, badly composed information and unamusing pictures and to introduce a simple and elegant product range.
