Executive suites are usually located within a much larger office building that provides you with greatly discounted access to parking, security and break room features that you would otherwise miss out on if you chose to go with virtual office space alone. Executive suites commonly come with receptionist and mail receiving services as well. One of the main benefits of an executive suite is that it provides you with a literal location in which to do your work, any hours of the day or night. Executive suites will also eliminate the need to invest in a lot of costly office equipment as well, as most suites are already furnished.

Corporate identity packages, or virtual office space as it is also referred to, is an even more cost effective way to maintain a professional appearance while saving money on the cost of a physical location. Typically, corporate identity packages provide you with a corporate address, telephone answering services and mail forwarding. In this way, you’ll be able to present your virtual business to clients in the same way you would a physical location. In some corporate identity packages, you’ll also have access to conference and teleconference facilities.

If you’re like many small business owners, you might be wondering just what a corporate identity package is. And if you already know what it is, you might be wondering why your small business would need one. After all, you’re just a small business, not one of those big corporations. What’s in it for you?

Just as the name implies, a corporate identity package identifies your company to potential clients, suppliers and the general public. It includes your business name, small business logo, your logotype (just a fancy way of saying how things are placed, which font you use, spacing, and other things like that) your motto or company slogan, and associated printed material– your business card, and letterhead, envelope and forms.

When you started your small business, you might have dreamed of becoming more than just another small business. Maybe you even dreamed about becoming a big business some time in the future. And even if you’re a completely practical entrepreneur and didn’t have those dreams, you need to attract customers in order to keep your small business open. A corporate identity package can help you do that.

Write a couple of big corporations, ask a question and request a business card. They’ll send your answer on their letterhead, in their company envelopes, and include a company business card. If you take a moment or two to look at big corporations’ identity packages, you’ll soon notice a few important things in common.

From Better to Best – Corporate Branding

pathik — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 08:49:04 +0000

Have you ever wondered how multi-national companies like McDonalds, Coca-cola, Microsoft, Apple, Intel, Motorola, Sony and UPS came up with their names? Just think, if these companies have some lame or forgettable brand name, would they be as big as they are now? Every company starts out by thinking of a name. A law firm, for example, commonly uses the names of its associates, like Smith, Johnson and Brown Law Firm. The name of a woman’s specialty shop should be something sensual and exciting, like Victoria’s Secret or Bare Essentials. A clothing line should boast the popular designer’s name. Corporate branding does not just involve the company name. It also includes the corporate logo design and the overall company image. More importantly, it conveys your corporate identity. When you think of computers, Microsoft comes to mind. Instead of photocopier, you think of Xerox. Toothpaste equals Colgate. Coming up with the perfect brand name that will stick to the consumer’s mind is as important as coming up with the finances to start a company – be it big or small.

1. First Impressions Last

When you distribute a business card, see what dominates that small piece of paper. Brand names and logos. Bland brand names never work. When you think of a name, follow these rules:

- Be original.

Brand Identity, Corporate Identity, and Brand Image

1. Corporate identity.

Corporate identity is a company’s visual presence, which involves the corporate logo and design strategy for corporate marketing collateral. Corporate identity does not encapsulate brand identity, which is best defined as the soul of your company. However, a corporate identity may, and often does, reflect a brand identity. But some ad agencies, marketing companies and graphic design agencies would have you believe that brand identity is the same thing as corporate identity and that changing a logo or design strategy will change the brand identity. However, this is not the case.

Have you recently started your own business? Are you operating a web site, or another type of business that relies mostly on the internet to attract, provide services to and communicate with your customers and clients? Are you happy working out of your basement or spare bedroom, but worried about what you’ll do when it comes time to meet that one big client for a business meeting, or where you’ll go when that big investor finally wants to crunch some numbers? Are you worried what your clients will think when they see a residential address on your letterhead? If you said yes to any of these scenarios, then you should know that it’s easy to enhance your professional image by using a corporate identity package that will provide you with access to the office space you need, when you need it.

Depending on where you live, and the type of services that you’re looking for, your virtual office space might use a different corporate identity package then someone else. Most of the typical service packages will at least consist of telephone answering and message forwarding services that will transfer calls to a home office, cell phone or another out of state location that you choose. This means that when clients call for information, they will be greeted by a professional receptionist and not a family member. This also means that you won’t risk answering an important call while you’re at the grocery store or in your car.

Some locally based corporate identity programs will also include access to executive office space or conference rooms on a regular basis. If your business is picking up, and you find yourself running out of coffee shops and restaurants in which to meet your prospective clients, a corporate identity services can provide the facilities you need at a greatly reduced cost.
