Is your 2026 marketing plan working like you hoped it would?
If the answer to the above question is “yes,” that probably means year-over-year revenue is up. If the answer is “no,” than it probably means the opposite of the prior statement. The good news is that it’s only halftime in the game of earnings and changing up the plan can mean a better second half.

The experts at Sign2Day marketing company recommend first and foremost to have your brand set as your marketing foundation.
Information about having or building a strong company brand
There are a number of elements involved in creating or re-creating a brand.
- A brand is a personality that identifies a company’s commitment to its products and services.
- A logo is not a brand, but a foundational component of it.
- Good design — in a logo and corresponding marketing collateral — instills confidence in perspective customers.
- Good use of color increases brand recognition by up to 80 percent.
- About 73 percent of consumers “love” a brand because of friendly customer service.
- Customer loyalty can be worth 10 times as much as a single purchase.
Of course, the marketing brand is only as good as the actual brand lived out by an owner and staff every day. That’s the company reputation assigned to the marketing brand, which is built by the employee’s expertise and attention to excellent customer service.
Building your brand’s awareness
Once your brand is established, it must be seen by audiences interested in your products and services. The Sign2Day marketing experts want you to have professional marketing materials and a strategy for print collateral and digital platforms. After all, these are where people — depending on their demographic — turn for goods and services. Print displays should look professional and instill confidence. Digital listings need to come with solid reviews, because a professional look without compelling testimonies does not translate into online conversions.
Print marketing material options
Take a look at your logo, print materials and overall brand. Does your logo reflect your company’s reputation? Are you proud of your business card or do you apologize for it’s look? Do you have marketing materials that work together and match the “company identity” that you want to promote? 
Some of print marketing materials to consider are:
- Business cards
- Yard signs
- Door hangers
- Flyers
- Direct mail cards
- Folding sidewalk signs
- Trade show display
- Vehicle wraps or magnetic displays
Digital marketing options
How is your website doing promoting your brand? Do you have a social media following? When you type your company’s services into an online search engine,

- Website (w/ search engine optimization services)
- Social media platforms (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, etc…)
- Email marketing
- Content marketing
- Videos
