Why your studio needs a brand kit

A brand kit is an essential tool for any small business - including your dance studio!

When you started your studio, one of the first big decisions you made was undoubtedly your studio name and logo. You chose studio colours and set your studio's mission and values. Basically you created your very own brand kit!

Now, in the age of digital marketing, your brand is more important than ever and - as any marketing professional will attest - consistency is not only the key to recognition but also to building trust and loyalty.

But if you aren't handling all of your own advertising, communication and marketing personally how can you ensure your brand is properly represented? Sure, you can send long, involved emails with font names and colour codes but an easier solution is a brand kit.

What is a brand kit?

A brand kit is a short, easily digestible guide to your brand’s visual identity. It's a resource containing information about your brand and how people should apply it holistically to maintain brand consistency. It should include the most business-critical visual assets and information, such as logos, approved colour palettes, typography styles, and other visual attributes.. Brand kits are usually shared as downloadable PDFs or print documents.

What is the purpose of a brand kit?

There are plenty of strategic reasons to build a brand kit. For one, as your business grows, you want to make sure your brand image and message don’t become diluted or misrepresented. That’s where a brand kit can help.
