<p>It&#8217;s important when building (and maintaining) your brand to establish a consistent look across all of your marketing. That means your brochure, stationary, website, advertisements, etc. But this isn&#8217;t news to anyone who has done much reading about marketing or branding. However, a very overlooked component is your business&#8217; blog.</p>
<p>Many business today are using blogs to gain visibility, create a sense of community with their customers, establish their expertise in their field, and generate a load of internet traffic. Unfortunately, very often a business&#8217; blog doesn&#8217;t match up visually with the rest of the company&#8217;s brand.</p>
<p>That is certainly a mistake and businesses need to ensure that their blog appearance is consistent with their other collateral and supports their overall marketing. Here are some examples of blog themes I&#8217;ve done for clients to match up to their business websites.</p>
<p>Blog: <a href="http://blog.messagetech.com" target="_blank">http://blog.messagetech.com</a><br />
Website: <a href="http://messagetech.com" target="_blank">http://messagetech.com</a></p>
<p>Blog: <a href="http://buildingsystemsnetwork.com/blog" target="_blank">http://buildingsystemsnetwork.com/blog</a><br />
Website: <a href="http://buildingsystemsnetwork.com" target="_blank">http://buildingsystemsnetwork.com</a></p>
<p>Blog: <a href="http://www.jebbfink.com/blog" target="_blank">http://www.jebbfink.com/blog</a><br />
Website: <a href="http://jebbfink.com" target="_blank">http://jebbfink.com</a></p>
<p>Blog: <a href="http://www.westchesterdivorceblog.com" target="_blank">http://www.westchesterdivorceblog.com</a><br />
Website: <a href="http://www.nyfamilywealth.com" target="_blank">http://www.nyfamilywealth.com</a></p>
<p>Any many others. Bottom line, if you have a business website and have (or start) a business blog, make sure they support your company&#8217;s branding!</p>
