How to Brand Your Marketing Message across All Media

In marketing, you’re likely to employ several tools, messages, and types of media — including e-mail — over long periods of time. Keeping the design elements and personality of your messages similar or identical over time — branding — reinforces each of your messages and makes each successive message more memorable to your audience.


Consumers are more likely to respond positively to your e-mail messages when they can identify your brand and when the content of each message feels familiar to them. Plan all your marketing messages as if they were one unit to ensure that each message contains design elements that become familiar to your audience when multiple messages are delivered.
