Why First Impressions Matter in Environmental Branding
You only have one chance to make a first impression, and that chance begins before you even speak to your on-site visitors. What prospective customers observe when they enter your business can affect their perception of your brand forever. If the impression is negative, it can affect your ability to win and retain customers.
High-end furniture, rich fabrics and sophisticated scents suggest that a company is successful, while worn carpeting and faded wallpaper don’t do anything to inspire customer confidence in a company.
Color, Materials and Layout for Maximum Impact
- Choose colors that fit your brand’s energy. Exciting colors inspire action, while calming colors offer reassurance.
- Use materials that represent who you are. Natural textures communicate a dependable brand; shiny and bright surfaces communicate a modern environment.
- Determine your lobby’s focal point or the area where people gather, and then place your most valuable visual branding there so it’ll be easily seen.
Ideas for Your Lobby
- Wall graphics are a great way to promote your company’s core values while adding beauty or visual interest to your space.
- History walls and timelines inform visitors of the values and important events that shaped your company’s growth and success.
- Donor recognition displays show your appreciation for those who contribute to your brand’s mission.
- Video content educates your visitors about different products and services. It can also showcase testimonials from satisfied customers.
