Why is Branding Important?
You might say that a “brand” is an institution’s image -- it’s how you are known and identified
A school’s brand personality is shaped by the perceptions of the audience
It’s how a teacher works with his/her students, it’s how a parent is welcomed for an admissions visit, it’s how a student is coached or how a family is thanked for their generosity. . . everything a school does reflects on the brand
Your brand is best summarized in your school’s value proposition - what makes your school unique
Your visual brand is more than simply design; it is a reflection of your school. You want to make sure that your visual presentation speaks the same language as what’s being said in any text, audio or video.
Do schools have a brand?
Visual aspects that form part of the overall brand● Makes you more recognizable and raises the awareness
in what you do● Illustrates your school personality and sets you apart
from the competition● Builds a bond with families and transfers your message
in a short but effective way
More than just a logo!Creating a recognizable visual identity speak to your brand’s value, reliability and excellence is an important step towards creating a strong presence in the community.

Build a list of vendors and bid out work (suggestions next page)
● Create project description first before sending out bids. Make sure all
printers receive the same description to get accurate quotes. Is it in color
or black and white? Will it be folded, perforated?
● Don’t know what paper you want the project printed on? Ask for
suggestions from printer you have worked with before.
● As a professional courtesy, mention that you are asking for quotes from
other vendors.
● You may end up with a pool of vendors to work with regularly.
