🌟✨ FAQs about brand and website design with Makena! How do I choose the right colors for my brand? Imagine your brand as a party. What colors would it have as a theme? Choose hues that reflect the personality of your brand, evoke the desired mood, and stand out in the sea of sameness. Think of how pink evokes warmth, florals offer sophistication, and sparkles signify celebration. Your palette should do the same for your brand. What’s the key to a website that converts visitors into clients? A website that converts is like a welcoming home; it draws visitors in and makes it effortless for them to find what they need. Ensure your site has clear navigation, compelling copy that speaks directly to your audience's needs, and calls to action that guide them on what to do next. It should feel like walking through a garden of possibility, not a maze of confusion. How often should I refresh my brand and website? Just like your wardrobe, your brand and website might need a refresh to stay in vogue. Generally, a review every 3-5 years will keep your digital presence blooming. Look for signs like changes in your business goals, target audience, or trends in your industry. 👗🌸💖 Have more questions? Feel like your brand could use a touch of our whimsical magic?

Let your jewelry be the spark that ignites conversations 🌟✨Funny enough, my #1 sales tip is something that I discovered on complete accident- wearing jewelry that is a conversation piece! Picture this: You're at a business event, and the unique piece you're wearing catches someone's eye.

Jewelry can embody stories, values, and even your brand's essence, serving as a silent ambassador that invites curiosity and dialogue. It's not just an accessory; it's a conversation starter that can pave the way to unexpected collaborations and success stories. Obviously, you want to wear something that stands out in a GOOD way, in a way that truly does represent your brand and your business, so make sure to make the right choice! Next time you choose a piece to wear, think of it as selecting your conversation 'wingman.' What story do you want it to tell? Share with us your memorable connections sparked by a piece of jewelry! Ready to turn every encounter into an opportunity? Remember, the right piece can be just the 'spark' you need. 💬✨
