Let’s admit it. We design buffs love keeping up with what’s trending in the design scene. So, while it may seem a little early to hop into the trends of 2024 for you, it actually isn’t. The time has arrived for transitional designs, including minimalistic logos, vibrant colours and more! So, here are the top 10 revolutionary brand design trends in 2024 that you need to watch as we enter another year.

In this fast-paced world of ever-changing designs and trends, you must show your authentic side to your customers. And that can be done only through a solid visual brand identity. Another thing to keep in mind is that most of your audience will likely be trend followers. So, if they’re staying up-to-date with it, why shouldn’t you?

Challenges That Businesses Without A Brand Design Strategy Face

Let’s look at business challenges and pitfalls without any brand design strategy.

1. Your brand won’t be recognised

If your business needs a proper brand design strategy, there are heavy chances that people won’t recognise your brand. So, you must create appropriate visual elements such as logos, colour palettes and typography that will solely be your brand’s identity.

2. There won’t be consistent messaging

Not having a brand design strategy will make your audience scratch their heads and ask, ‘Is it the same brand I saw yesterday?’ Your messages should be manageable and consistent across all platforms.

3. You can’t target a specific audience

An apt brand design plan takes care of what your audience likes and buys. Without such a plan, it’ll be extremely painful for businesses to click with the right crowd in the market.

4. There will be no competitive edge

A solid brand design strategy is the key to winning your customers over and making them return to your brand every time. However, if you overlook it, your products and services won’t have a one-upmanship over other brands.

5. The brand loyalty will be limited

Customers who relate to your products will only stick around for a short time. This disconnect happens when your brand needs a consistent visual identity. In such a case, you’ll find that your customers have shifted their loyalty to a more exciting and reliable brand.

What’s The Next Wave of Brand Design Trends for 2024?

1. Minimalistic logos

Gone are the days when complexity prevailed in the world of design. Nowadays, people like it simple and plain. And 2024 will be no different. In 2024, designers will opt for designs that radiate elegance, sophistication and perpetuity. The focus will be on removing redundant elements, simplifying designs and focusing on clean typography. Minimalistic designs have always been a hit, proved by brands like Nike and Apple.

2. Brand mascots

Do you know what Ronald McDonald and Amul Girl are called? They are called brand mascots. A brand mascot is a character that represents a brand. These characters can be humans, animals or even objects like food items. They help engage customers and provide tie-in identification for your brand. In 2024, we’ll see mascots making a comeback into the design world. Make sure that your brand mascot has a personality that matches your brand identity.

3. Vibrant colours

Unlike the past few years, vibrant and bold colours will dominate the scene in 2024. Vibrant and vivid colours make anyone feel happy and light. They also make your brand look peppy and are easily able to grab attention. So, be ready for a bold and vibrant 2024 with bright neons, electric blues, viva magenta and more.

4. Versatility and adaptability

One of the major brand design trends for 2024 will be versatile and adaptable designs. A versatile design should look good in all colours, no matter where it is used. It should be scalable and look equally good in any proportion. An adaptable design can be adapted to different screen and print sizes. Besides keeping up with tech changes or changing client and user demands, your designs should be cognitively, contextually and emotionally flexible. Due to the appeal of such designs, they will be used by designers globally in 2024.

5. Advertising campaigns with a purpose

In 2024, we’ll see more brands creating purpose-driven ads. Customers want to know what your brand stands for, its vision, and its missions. Things like sustainability, plastic eradication, etc, help people choose one brand over another. People want to see your brand contributing to a positive change and offering them the best products and services.

6. Inclusive icons, photography, and illustrations

There has been increasing awareness about diversity and inclusion in all fields. The advertising and designing landscapes are not behind either. 2024 will see a rise in brands becoming more conscious of inclusive elements such as cultural icons, ethnically diverse pictures and inclusive illustrations.

These elements will aim to represent diverse populations from various backgrounds, ethnicities, genders and abilities. So, stick to a variety of cultural narratives or visual representations. Make your brand the cosy space where everyone feels they belong.

7. Typography of words in motion

Kinetic typography is an animation mechanism that uses moving text or words in motion to grab attention. They are entertaining and set a tone for your design by adding a complementary layer of energy and significance. Among all the brand design trends for 2024, this one is undoubtedly my favorite. In 2024, you’ll see more and more brands using texts that flow and pulse to rhythm. It’s an interesting way to make your brand stand out. You can make words transition between different colours or experiment with divergent motion wordplay.

8. AI-inspired futuristic designs

Will AI stop popping up in anything and everything? Probably not, at least not until a few more years. Artificial Intelligence and Deep Learning have made our lives easy, no doubt about that. You will witness more futuristic designs inspired by AI as we progress into 2024. What do we mean when we say ‘futuristic designs’? Futuristic patterns in graphic design constitute elements that are ultra-modern or have sci-fi elements in them. Some examples are the 80s and 90s synth-wave and vapourwave styles, glitch elements, iridescent backgrounds and holographic gradients.

9. Brand narratives and storytelling

We know that storytelling is the king of content right now. And it will continue to reign not only in 2024 but in the coming years, too. Content that tells a story about your brand or its users will likely gain much more traction than any random content. For example, if you’re a brand that deals with cookies, you can craft stories about family traditions, homemade recipes passed down by mothers, and so on.

10. Promoting sustainability

Sustainability is gaining momentum at a tremendous rate. Almost three-fourths of customers nowadays are ready to pay a higher rate for products if they are sustainable. Most brands are also catching up with the trend. They manufacture products using eco-friendly materials and communicate their sustainable values in future-focused designs. Some brands are taking it further through campaigns addressing bigger social issues like plastic waste and global warming. Most environmentally-focused brands also use clean and simple designs so that the brand message doesn’t get lost amidst all the design hullabaloo.

(1) Brand Storytelling over Usual Conversations

In 2024, get more authentic, interactive, and vulnerable with your brand stories and share them with the public! This can effectively trigger the right emotions and connect with the customers beyond the product itself. Consumers are also more likely to remember your products as they relate to your compelling narrative. Use intricate illustrations and embossed motifs to make the storytelling experience even more immersive. As they unbox and unfold stories about your brand and the products, this will deepen brand engagement and leave a lasting impression on the consumers.

Hence, the integration of AI into your packaging design this year is an utmost necessity.

(6) Minimalist and sustainable packaging

2024 is the year for sustainable, recyclable and minimalist packaging designs. Consumers love minimalist and sustainable packaging. Not only does it reduce waste, but clean lines, fewer graphics and eco-friendly materials are always a clear winner over the congested ones. Prefer biodegradable, compostable and recyclable materials this year for a positive environmental impact. For example, No Nasties, a leading clothing brand, uses reusable organic cotton bags to pack their products for the consumers, and they vouch for going plastic-free!

(7) Typography- Bold and Readable

Bold and readable typography can always stay in style, especially when writing product information. Take the example of brands like Vogue and Zara, which always choose simple and clean typography for their packages. It does all the talking! Choose fonts that are always relevant and complementary to your brand. This puts the brand as the prime highlight.

Plus, bold typography offers plenty of space to create the right information hierarchy. Otherwise, your consumers are likely to need clarification with the amount of details you add to the design. Ensure to create a contrast, as this can be a great way to communicate beyond the usual ways.

For example, the packaging designs of Sabyasachi are always personalised and made of premium materials for every bride or general consumer. This creates a sense of exclusivity and superiority for the consumers.

Also, this unique feature can give you a much-needed competitive edge in 2024.

    Case Studies Review of Major Branding Projects by Mumbai Agencies

    Let us look at two important case studies by renowned Mumbai-based branding agencies.

  • SBI Branding & Designing by Design Stack
  • According to their website, Design Stack, a Mumbai-based branding agency, builds, strengthens and nurtures brands. And this has been truly reflected in their SBI branding project.

    State Bank of India, also known as SBI, is the largest banking and financial services provider in India. During the branding process, Design Stack developed SBI’s Brand Strategy, Brand Identity and Guidelines across all touch points. Since SBI is a 68-year-old organisation, the major task in the branding process was to bring a fresh perspective to SBI while retaining its originality.

    They used simplified designs to give SBI a fresh look. It turned out to be quite appealing due to the customised sans-serif typeface and two contrasting shades of blue.

  • PaperBoat Branding & Packaging by Elephant Design
  • Elephant is an innovative agency which likes solving complex challenges with a focus on people and the future. They helped PaperBoat build an ethnic narrative for their drinks, which are often associated with childhood and old memories.

    The theme for the branding was really unique since most brands focus on trends rather than old cultural stories. They put Indian traditions at the centre of the branding process and created effectual packaging that takes back the audience to their ‘good old days’.

    With the addition of colourful doodle-like icons, they textured the packaging like paper to make it playful and engaging. It actually makes the packaging look like the back of an old-school notebook. They also used a lot of good-natured, flippant one-liners, which highlight the lack of artificial flavouring.

    Brand Communication that Boosts Indian Business ROI: Tips & Strategies https://www.designerpeople.com/blog/brand-communication/ https://www.designerpeople.com/blog/brand-communication/#respond Thu, 19 Oct 2023 12:29:41 +0000 https://www.designerpeople.com/?p=32084 Last Updated on November 23, 2023 by DesignerPeople

    Every successful company in India requires a unique brand communication strategy in this era. Starting from creating compelling content about the brand to influencer marketing and spreading the word about your brand. You can create a professional brand communication strategy in limitless ways, and we will help you with that today! Let’s explore the benefits and other aspects of creating an effective brand communication strategy in 2023.

    What is Brand Communication?

    Brand communication revolves around strategies and tactics that help your brand gain more visibility on social media and other advertising platforms that can be later used to convince customers.

    Hence, it must be unique. A standard brand communication strategy will not help your brand stand out. Every time a potential consumer interacts with your brand, you have the opportunity to personalise their experience through an interactive brand strategy.

    Examples of some common brand communications include TV commercials, online ads, reviews, direct communication, social media, newsletters, billboards and more. These help to create a strong, cohesive and effective brand image within the audiences.

    Like any other branding strategy, this starts with defining your unique brand identity. Take some time to analyse how you want your brand to be perceived by the audiences. For example, brands selling Gen Z fashion will have a different communication strategy than luxury brands.

    Analyse your brand position and look out for differentiating factors. Focus more on your brand highlights and unique points to help your brand identity shine within the audiences.

    Crafting Compelling Brand Messages

    Next, personalise your brand messages according to your target audiences. Understand their interests, dislikes and demands to craft a compelling strategy.

    For example, the recent ad of Ariel’s campaign in India shares how society considers washing laundry as a woman’s responsibility only. However, they redirected this idea by showing a father helping his daughter do the laundry and sharing the load with #TheLoadShare.

    This went viral, and the sales of Ariel skyrocketed in no time as they focused more on understanding the needs and emotions of their target audiences and communicated a strong brand message accordingly.

    Get humorous and diversify

This multi-channel communication strategy can greatly improve your brand recall as your customers get more exposed to your brand, which increases the opportunities for sales even further.

    Similarly, all of us spend most of our days glued to our screens. Impactful social media strategies are currently winning the game.

    For example, Zomato has an incredible marketing team that is killing it on the internet! With humorous notifications and online ads, they have successfully grown their follower base over the years. Similarly, they are also killing it on social media by creating viral-worthy posts that engage with their audiences and spread their brand message!

    Vent out the Emotions

    It’s the year of storytelling, and you must harness it for the best results. Incorporate strategic storytelling, and rest assured, your audiences will pour the engagement on your brand!

    Create impactful emotional connections through brand stories.

    Pantaloons release a special Durga Puja campaign every year as an ad for the Pantaloons Festive Fashion. They captured the beauty of first love amidst one of the biggest festivals in India!

    Metrics that Matter

    The secret recipe of a successful brand communication strategy is consistent monitoring, evaluation and optimisation.

    How can you create attractive atta packaging designs for the Indian market?

In contrast, gluten-free atta can have vibrant colours to represent youthfulness, safety and reliability for health-conscious consumers.

    Look for unique colour palettes to make your product stand out from the others on the retail shelves. However, ensure that the colour palette doesn’t overshadow your branding or product message for the consumers.

    – Get Creative with the Images

    You can either showcase the flour as the star element of the design or highlight the benefits. You can also add images of farmers sourcing the organic atta from the fields to ignite an emotional appeal within the consumers. Leverage any celebrity endorsements for your brand in the packaging design. Lastly, you can also use decorative patterns and textured elements to bring a premium look to your atta package.

    – Clear Typography is the winner

    Ensure that you choose minimal yet impactful typography for your atta packaging design. Create a hierarchy through different sizes of fonts, alignments and layouts in the design to help customers quickly skim the product information. Choose a contrasting typography with the background to add more focus to the information about the product.

    – Sustainability over everything

    Ensure to choose the right packaging size for your product to eliminate the usage of excess materials and wasted space. Choose eco-friendly, biodegradable, compostable or recyclable packaging materials to prioritise sustainability. Ensure that the packaging materials are lightweight and easy to handle. Encourage package reusability by creating sealable packages that can be reused every time.

    How a Well-Crafted Atta Packaging Design Captivates Indian Consumers?

    We started with creating a fun mascot of a cartoon character that not only stays relatable with the children but also aligns with the overall brand identity. The eye-catching choices of colours and multiple designs ensured that every variant of the product lights up their excitement equally! Lastly, we conducted consumer testing with children to gather valuable feedback before we rolled out the design in the market.

    These charming mascots and colours were readily loved by the children, making it one of the bestsellers in the market quickly. Their sales soared, and the brand further expanded its product line with more such variants and lovable mascots for the children!

    Signage Board: 139+ Design Ideas, Images & Inspiration In 2023 https://www.designerpeople.com/blog/signage-board/ https://www.designerpeople.com/blog/signage-board/#respond Fri, 29 Sep 2023 13:09:37 +0000 https://www.designerpeople.com/?p=31658 Last Updated on November 6, 2023 by DesignerPeople

    Many brands use gorgeous signage board designs as part of their branding strategy, which helps customers easily spot them even from far. Take McDonald’s example: you can locate a McDonald’s even on a busy highway due to its huge billboard-size M symbol. Over the years, many well-known brands have used signage boards to attract customers and give an edge to their company.

    signage board design ideas

    A signage board plays an important role in marketing and branding. In this blog, we’ve collected 139+ signage board ideas and inspirations for your brand. We’ll also walk you through a bunch of sign design tips to help you choose the right approach for creating signage boards for your brand.

    Why is it necessary to keep your signage board designs up-to-date in 2023?

    Investing in an attractive signage board is your most functional investment for your business. Incorporate the latest trends and fads in your signage design so that they gain the maximum attention. The five pointers below endorse why you should keep your signage board design up-to-date:

    (i) It promotes the brand 24×7

    A signage board is a one-time investment for a certain period. It has its own designated position, which advertises your brand any time of the day. Even a car driver notices the signage boards he passes by on the road daily. So, use the best and latest trends in your signage board to catch every passerby’s eye.

    (ii) It enhances your brand’s noticeability

    Many brands promote their location or even websites through unique signage board designs. It helps them to be noticed by a large group of people simultaneously. It serves as a face to your brand whether it is physically present in the vicinity.

    (iii) It serves as your brand voice

    According to the International Sign Association, ‘Your sign board is your voice on the street.’ A simple signage board containing less than ten words can communicate a thousand words to your audience. When communicated through a unique and appealing signage board, a potent message is bound to increase traction for your brand.

    (iv) It increases sales

    Do we even need to say this out loud? Using the example of McDonald’s again, imagine you are travelling with your family to a nearby town. You want to have a snack and see the McDonald’s sign stating it is 1 km ahead. At that moment, even if you see other eateries on the way, you would still head towards McDonalds as you know it’s just a few metres away. That’s the power of remarkable signage, attracting more customers and increasing sales.

    (v) It enhances the aesthetics of your visual identity

    Signage boards have multiple purposes, from informing your customers about your location or an upcoming sale to enhancing your visual identity. You have a wide range of options to make your signage design charming: vibrant colours, cool fonts and illuminations under the evening sky. So, create stunning signage designs that have the potential to drive traffic to your brand.

    Designing signage boards for different industries

    Different industries require different elements and creativity for their signage boards. Hence, understanding what’s suitable and inappropriate for each industry is crucial.

  • Retail signage
  • Retail signage displays important information about your brand, such as promotions, deals, invites, etc. It should always highlight your products and encourage customers inside and outside your stores to make purchases.

    Top seven design principles for signage boards

    Here are the top seven signage board design principles for any industry:

  • Select the suitable signage material
  • There are many options for signage board materials, such as metal, acrylic, foam, aluminium, vinyl, PVC, etc. However, it’s of utmost importance that you choose the one that suits your purpose. You can use any material for indoor signs, but for outdoor signs, always use long-lasting and waterproof materials that can survive any weather condition.

  • The more the contrast, the better
  • The contrast in signboards is always a hit amongst the public eye, making the design more dynamic. You should use contrasting colour combinations like black and yellow, red and white, navy and white, etc. The idea is to make the text or specific elements stand out so that they’re visible and readable from a considerable range. So, pairing dark and light colours on the signage board should be your go-to approach while choosing colours.

  • A proper design hierarchy
  • In case you thought that hierarchy exists only in jobs and organisations, you’re wrong! Visual hierarchy is a design principle that conveys the importance of the different elements in the design through size and scale. So, the element or text that you want your customer to see (or read) first will have the biggest size or the brightest colour. The most important text will be of the largest size and in a position that’s quickly visible.

  • Use high-quality icons and graphics
  • After sorting the text, you should focus on using apt icons or elements that can seize the audience’s attention. The logos, artwork and other graphics used should be of high quality and complement the message and design. Avoid using pixelated images, as they will make the signage look cheap and present your brand as unprofessional.

  • Correct positioning and marking
  • Once you have finalised your signage design, the next important point to remember is selecting the best location for the signage board. Before sending it to the printer for the final output, ensure you have chosen a viable location for your signage board. You should display it in a place where a high percentage of your potential audience can see it.

  • Avoid any obstruction
  • Last but not least, the visibility of your signage board is an important step in the entire process. The location may be great, but what if there are stumbling blocks that don’t make your signage board visible and lead to failure in attracting your target buyers? Hence, you should quickly check the chosen site so your branding efforts are well-spent. The signage board should be visible from all angles on the road so that any passerby, on foot or by car, can spot and read it from a distance.

    How can exceptional signage design build great brands?

    We’ve been in the industry for more than two decades, and we can’t stress enough the importance of signage designs in branding. By applying unique signage designs, you can build a great brand that will shine among its peers.

    • Brand identity: Signage boards set your brand identity and help you gain customers. They reinforce your brand image and even influence customers’ shopping behaviours. Research shows that signage designs have the potential to boost a brand’s reputation tenfold. They convey points of interest to customers, refining your brand perception.
    • Memorable brand experience: A strong message through irresistible signage can be very powerful in changing the experiences of your existing and potential customers. A signage board alone can create favourable and memorable experiences for people, convincing them to become loyal customers and even brand ambassadors to prospective customers.
    • Establish credibility: Signage designs don’t just promote your products and services. They also establish your credibility in the industry. From small enterprises to large-scale enterprises, every business needs appropriate signage board designs. Signage boards can distinguish your brand, demonstrate the quality of your products and showcase you as a trustworthy business.

    What enables people to stay connected across the globe, offers entertainment, provides the latest information and even generates income for some people? It’s social media! And it’s not just people but also businesses that can use social media branding to maximise their growth.

    Today, a large population browses social media regularly, making it a powerful tool for businesses to engage with customers and increase sales. If you’re starting a business, then utilise social media platforms to take your business (and sales) to the next level. Here’s our complete guide to social media branding and your business’s subsequent viral brand campaigns!

    What is Social Media Branding?

    How you present your brand persona on various social media platforms is called social media branding. It allows you to share your company’s ideas, stories and updates. It helps existing customers and potential buyers to view your brand beyond its products and services.  

    Gone are the yesteryears when the only form of advertising was through television and print media like newspapers and magazines. Today, we’ve social media, a multi-dimensional platform with several uses. It’s a stage where you can showcase your products, talk about your brand’s story, engage with customers, run ads and even offer quick customer service. 

    what-is-social-media-branding

    Manage Brand Reputation

    Social media branding is crucial for many reasons. It lets you speak on your brand’s behalf and helps customers choose your brand over others. However, an equally important aspect of making your brand design visible on social media is managing the brand reputation.

    Why does any business advertise its products and services? To promote the product’s existence and influence customers. Your social media brand reputation management does the same. Maintaining a strong social media presence will make your brand more visible and accessible among your target audience. 

    Roadmap to make a strong social Brand Presence

    Every brand should consider these three key elements to create a strong social media presence and viral brand campaigns:

    • Consistency: Your brand voice, style and other brand parameters should always be consistent. Whatever content you post should align with your company’s values and suit your marketing goals. Also, be consistent with your posting schedule and visual identity.
    • Unique brand voice: How would you feel if your friend spoke in different accents every day? Weird, right? The same applies to your brand’s voice – it should be unique, clear and not sound similar to any other brand. 
    • Brand storytelling: People love stories as they can associate with the elements in the story and feel closer. Having a fascinating brand story is pivotal in social media branding. Stories such as how your company name was born or how a product was created will always intrigue people. 
    roadmap-strong-social-branding

    Common myths that hold you back

    Although accessing social media is as easy as pie, certain myths mislead businesses into wrongly using it or giving up on social media branding. We’ve listed the four common myths below:

    • Overnight success is the norm

      Everyone dreams of their first campaign going viral! But like any other marketing platform, growth on social media also takes time. Success on social media comes with consistent efforts, dedication and patience.

    • It’s all about going viral

      Going viral on social media sounds nice, but viral trends change fast and are quickly forgotten. Instead of focusing on creating viral and irrelevant content, focus on creating valuable and relatable content that your audience will like engaging with.

    • Negative comments should be ignored

      Criticism on social media shouldn’t be ignored at any cost. You should address both positive and negative comments to provide the best service to your customers. Empathise with customers and work on improving your products and brand reputation.

    • Every social media platform is the same

      You shouldn’t post the same content across all social media platforms. Each platform is unique with different audiences, content styles and engagement patterns. For effective social media branding, use a platform for what it’s made for. We’ve elaborated more on this in the segment below.

    6 strategies to success in social branding

    Let’s understand the strategies to build effective social media branding for your business that will always stand out:

    social-branding-sucess
    • Determine your brand’s goal, vision and values

      Certain values and goals drive anyone to start a business. Ask yourself questions like ‘What will our company do?’, ‘How will our products help people?’, ‘What values and changes will our services bring?’

      These questions will help you build the brand’s vision, values and goals. Understanding these elements will aid in your brand’s growth, marketing and communications. Develop content around these elements and post them on social media to raise brand awareness among your target audience.

    • Select a brand name and design a logo

      Just like a person’s name, a company’s name is its basic identity. Choose an appealing name that best fits what your company does and stick to it. Design an equally appealing logo with colours and fonts that connote the feelings of your brand message. Having a brand name and logo helps people become familiar with your brand across social media and other platforms.

    • Select and use the most appropriate social network

      Choose the most suitable social media for your brand. If you’re a B2B business, then leverage LinkedIn to grow your social media presence and showcase your products and services. If you’re a B2C business, then use Facebook, Pinterest and Instagram to tap into your target audience’s network. Serve up relevant content on social media to attract the right audience.

    • Create different marketing personas for different social media platforms

      Instagram and TikTok are the hotspots for GenZ and Millennials while Facebook caters to an older audience. Using memes is suitable for Instagram and Facebook but not for LinkedIn as it’s a professional platform. So, your marketing personas should be different for each platform.

    • Determine the type of content beforehand

      What’s the most suitable content for your business? Your target audience should relate with the content you post. It should align with your brand guidelines, aiding in your company’s social media branding. Apart from photos, infographics and short videos, include user-generated content to gain a loyal followership.

    • Make your brand voice more human

      We already mentioned this. Your brand persona should have a unique brand voice that helps customers engage with your brand. It should be conversational and humane instead of sounding like a lifeless robot. Speaking like a human will always reflect the brand’s customer-first approach.

    Brands can’t neglect social media

    Here are the top four benefits of social media branding:

    • It allows you to stand out in a crowd

      There are near-infinite choices for every item nowadays. Despite that, some brands do very well while some don’t. Sometimes, it’s the product quality while sometimes it’s the mere branding. Believe us, social media branding has the potential to present your brand as one-of-a-kind. If you do it right, you can stand out amidst the crowd, no matter how many competitors you have.

      standout-success
    • It allows you to expand and reach new potential customers

      Engaging with customers through social media can earn your brand huge brownie points. Using social media insights, you can find out the interests and needs of potential and existing customers. You can further use this data to improve your products and services, enabling your brand to expand and increase sales.

      expand-business
    • It makes task management easier

      Social media helps us stay abreast with upcoming trends and business insights. Hence, it helps your social media team stay ahead of the crowd and plan content accordingly. This isn’t limited to social media as it’ll also help in designing products based on the latest trends, making your entire workforce’s work easier.

    • It helps you receive real-time feedback

      Social media allows people to post candid comments and honest feedback about products and services. This instant feedback serves as important customer data helping you derive sales and performance insights. You can even use social media to solve real-time queries like shipment-related issues or upcoming product updates.

      feedback

    Conclusion

    Social media is a powerful tool to attract more users by learning about their interests, preferences and values. Create useful, valuable and exciting content on social media to engage your target audience and make them aware of your brand.

    Use appropriate tools to schedule your content and research the latest trends to improve your brand’s online reach. Weaving stories through outstanding social media ad designs is a crucial aspect of attracting customers online. Hire our team of expert designers and develop successful social media branding for your business.

    196+ Baby & Kid Products Packaging Design to Influence New Parents https://www.designerpeople.com/blog/baby-kids-product-packaging-design/ Thu, 14 Sep 2023 12:24:56 +0000 https://www.designerpeople.com/?p=31288 Last Updated on October 13, 2023 by DesignerPeople

    Unlike designing products or packaging for adults, developing products and packaging for babies and children requires more vibrancy. Baby product packaging should be adorable, highly functional and safe.

    In recent years, there has been a tremendous increase in the number of baby and children’s product brands. Grand View Research predicts that the global baby care market will have a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.3% from 2021 to 2028. Among the brands emerging in the last few years like Firstcry, Mothercare and Meandmom, the ones that introduced charming and user-centric designs survived in the market, successfully grabbing parents’ attention. While others that lacked the visual appeal or functional utility failed or rebranded their packaging designs to be more relevant to the user needs.

    How can baby product packaging design evoke emotions?

    Parents evaluate the best product for their little ones based on the safety, quality and presentation of the product and its packaging. So, your packaging design should depict safety for babies and kids to use, maintain reliable and good quality and have a playful and vibrant appearance.

    If your packaging design has the above attributes, it will make parents connect better to your brand. Your packaging design can turn prospects into regular customers by evoking their emotions. You might be asking, “How do I make my packaging the emotional catalyst for new parents and grow sales?” Let’s delve into the key factors through which your product packaging design can evoke positive emotions in your target audience:

    Apt logo, fonts and colours

    Since your products are for babies and children, your brand visual guidelines should include vibrant and dynamic colours and fun and funky patterns and images. The brand logo and typography should also evoke a sense of joy when people look at your baby product packaging.

    Relatable content

    The copy that will appear on your packaging, including the product descriptions, should be presented in a fun and engaging way. Though this part is intended for the parents, you can still utilise it whimsically and incorporate jolly elements throughout the content.

    Sustainability in packaging

    There shouldn’t be any compromise when it comes to children’s products. A new parent will try to buy the best products in the market for their kids, no matter the price tag attached to it! As consumers are becoming more aware of sustainability best practices, they prefer buying baby products that are sustainable and eco-friendly. Hence, you should use biodegradable, recyclable, compostable or reusable materials for your brand’s baby product packaging.

    Hassle-free usability

    Your target audience will return to your brand if your baby and kids products are convenient, minimising any difficulty or messiness. Your packaging should be durable and protect the product while illustrating joyful and interactive elements to resonate with babies and kids.

    Memorable user experiences

    Your baby product packaging should create memorable experiences for your users, both parents and kids. Focus on elements like cute illustrations of animals or cartoons to ignite emotions in the babies. On the other hand, you can also focus on unique adaptability features that can make parents extremely happy using your products for a hassle-free experience.

    Types of Baby Products that Require Memorable Packaging Design

    Creating memorable and attractive packaging designs is essential for your baby and kids products. Your packaging should be appealing, accurately convey all the product details and leave a lasting impression on your users. Here are the different types of baby products that should have such packaging:

    Baby Food

    Consisting primarily of infant formula, baby food is a booming category in the industry. Baby food packaging should be fun and convenient to be a mess-free experience for both the baby and the parents. Packaging such as resealable pouches will ensure the preservation of freshness and quality, while designs with bright colours and playful fonts will appeal to babies and parents alike. Additionally, ensure that all packaging is free of PVC, BPS and BPA.

    Baby Toys

    For baby toys, great packaging serves as protection and can drive engagement for the children as soon as they see the packaging. Use a mix of vibrant colours, interactive elements and see-through packaging to make your product more pleasant. Along with adhering to the safety standards, you should highlight the educational and developmental value of the toy through the packaging. This will help parents make good purchase choices considering their child’s intellectual growth and enjoyment.

    Diapers and Wipes

    Practicality and convenience are the two most important things to consider when designing diaper packaging or baby wipes. They should be easily dispensable without giving up the brand aesthetics. The packaging should be easy to store and portable to be carried around during travel. Its designs should be visually appealing and coupled with functional features.

    Things to consider before designing packaging for kid’s products

    When selecting packaging for baby and kids products, it’s vital to consider crucial aspects such as safety, branding, design and packaging material. Learn more about the other key elements before designing packaging for kid’s products.

    Functionality

    Toddler and kid-friendly

    Your product should have packaging that communicates with babies and kids through its unique designs and ease of usability. To capture the imagination of babies and toddlers, you should use playful colours, engaging texts and interactive elements in your packaging. This will allow kids to explore the product beyond its intended purpose, making it a part of their day-to-day activities or learning sessions.

    Attractive designs

    Packaging designs should be fascinating for kids as well as parents. Believe it or not, most toddlers recognise brands and products they use frequently. So, you must use attractive images, patterns and illustrations that make a connection with the babies, toddlers and kids. Your product packaging design should attract modern parents by being contemporary and relevant.

    Apt use of colours

    Colours have the power to evoke different emotions while painting a visual story. Colours are essential to your brand’s visual identity, so you should choose them wisely. They can grab people’s attention, making it easier for your target audience to spot it amidst other products. Using splashes of bright colours will also make your product eye-catching among children and toddlers.

    Distinctive packaging

    Your product packaging design represents your brand. Hence, it should be unique and memorable. Use unique shapes, features and elements to stand out in the market without compromising on the usability or quality of the product. Research shows a brand can perform much better only through compelling and distinctive packaging. So, get your creative juices flowing and develop a unique design that serves your customers effectively.

    Packaging with a shelf impact

    Always visualise how your products will look when organised on the shelves of a retail store. Going beyond evaluating each packaging, think of packaging as a whole. Try to create fun, intricate patterns on your packaging that will look amazing individually and form gorgeous displays collectively on the shelf.
