Supporting your business during Covid-19

Looking at your business's marketing and design during Covid-19

We hope you are staying fit and well as we find ourselves in unprecedented times, a global and invisible threat to our livelihoods, communities and loved ones.  Like most small businesses, AVD has had to adapt quickly to be able to offer a high quality service to our customers. As a positive by-product of having more time on our hands, why not use this time to 'reset' your business aims / design / marketing. Here are some ideas:

You could use this time of Covid-19 to review your business:
  • Write a growth plan: where are you going, how will you get there?
  • Write a marketing plan: our friends at Obsidian Content Creation recently shared the importance of continuing to market in these tough times.
  • Logo design: we are specialists in this (see some recent examples below), just get in touch
  • Order print of leaflets / business cards production and delivery to an address of your choice (see some recent examples below)
  • Review / rewrite your business plan
  • Research new customers
  • Use Office for National Statistics to back up your business's claims
  • If you use conferencing apps, why not have a pull up banner made with your branding on to use as a backdrop instead of pots and pans in your kitchen! (see below)
  • Apply for funding available to you (this is the kind of thing WE tend to put off during 'normal' working times
  • Review your website: we can support with this
  • Our sister company Real Arts Workshops has launched a web page full of creative activities that AVD has designed for families to do during Covid

Creative (and free) things to do with your family during Covid-19

​A look back at the major projects we undertook in 2018. Watch the short video below.
e worked on at least 15 company logos for a mix of established middle size businesses and start ups.

"Alex has done a superb job helping us redesign our logo, adverts, signage and packaging to create brand consistency." https://www.cranesbillnursery.com/

We designed business cards for many companies and sole traders and managed the printing of 20,000 business, cards and over 6,000 fliers, leaflets, brochures, folders and letterheads.

"Super creative and helpful! Great for new and current businesses that want support on design and branding."  https://www.theluminaireclinic.co.uk/

We illustrated 2 children's books and created several digital avatars for business people including the Website Inspector: https://wickedspider.com/website-audit/

We designed and produces numerous pull up banners:
"Alex Vann is my banner man. He's a creative genius." https://www.meljriley.co.uk/

One of our logos also made its way onto a men's silk pocketsquare!

We designed T-shirts for local businesses, featured in a magazine and also on a poster for Q3 academy where Alex attended as a child.

Alex also found time to complete a few portraits including his first ever digital drawing on iPad, using an Apple Pencil (see cat drawing below).

Cranesbill nursery logo by Alex Vann Design
Cranesbill Nursery logo design
2018 has been a busy year for AVD in terms of branding SMEs.

Some of these companies are established and looking for a fresh look and others are start-ups, needing a professional identity to be able to compete with other companies in their market place.

Below is a gallery of a few of these projects and their application in the 'real world' - signage, vehicle livery, business stationery, merchandise items and packaging. 

While I totally agree with new businesses keeping costs / outgoings to a minimum - some things are better delegated to specialists (like us). As I always say: 
Let us take care of your design, so you can take care of your business!'

What our clients say
It was a pleasure to work with Alex, not only did he bring my ideas to life but he was kind enough to provide me personalised logos to suit different sections of my business and also in different formats (social media friendly etc). I’m so pleased with my logo and the customer service and communication was excellent! Thank you so much!"
