Business Branding

Your business needs to stand out and customers need to easily remember you. This is where business brand becomes vital.

A business brand can be seen as a representation of the business owner or reflection of an owner’s values.

A brand is a gut instinct or intuition or an immediate feeling people have about a company product or service. It’s what your customers and staff members think about your business.

On a more practical sense successful branding can be seen within the business itself through consistent and repetitive use via it’s:

Website
Business Logo
Business Cards
Social Media
Apparel
Vehicle Signage

A great brand positions a business among competitors. For smaller businesses, if done correctly, great branding can create an even playing field so to compete with larger established ones.

Arguably, all else being equal, if your brand is professional you could charge for products and services in accordance with how good your brand LOOKS. (Did we say - all else being equal)

If you are looking for customers to engage with your business and keep them coming back, Digicol can help!

We do Branding and we are good at it

Starting with logo design we can assist by selecting illustrations, fonts, photos, colours and our graphic designer can create something unique to your business.

Give A Kid A Blanket

Kia ora koutou Neighbours,
Once again I am a drop off point (Remuera - other areas listed at bottom of post) for this really awesome couple. If you have blankets, bedding, items of warmth to suit the descriptions below (new or clean second hand), I'm building a stockpile to get a carload(s) to them.

Please message me or text 0212170261 if you wish to drop off items.

Give a Kid a Blanket started in 2015 as a Community Activated Art Action conceived and lead by artists Donna Turtle Sarten & Bernie Harfleet. The project has gone from strength to strength and is now a non profit registered charity. With the help of the community of kindness that has gathered around the project we collect blankets and other items of warmth and care and gift them to kids and their families through service providers including police, public health nurses, social and community workers.

Since 2015 we have gifted over 60,000 blankets and over 40,000 other objects of warmth and care.

We also support North Shore and Auckland Hospital’s Intensive Care Units with family support packs.

In 2020 we start collecting for winter from from the May 30 till July 19.

This year there is a ‘Give a Little’ page to support the costs of running the project. givealittle.co.nz...

With what is predicted to be an even harder winter for many kids, with families in NZ facing the winter cold in cars, garages, sleep outs and damp cold housing, we hope we were able to help more families keep warm this winter.

We want recipients to feel both warmed and valued by the community.
Our focus is to celebrate the acts of kindness many are able to make, and acknowledge the important work of those working with families from health and social agencies.

Follow ‘Give a Kid a Blanket’ on Facebook - www.facebook.com...

What to donate:
New and excellent condition pre-loved blankets, sleeping bags, duvets, baby sleep sacks, winter bedding, duvet covers,
pyjamas, beanies, socks, jumpers, winter coats, rain coats, cots, Moses
baskets. We are only able to except New Pillows and New Hot-water bottles.
(NO other types of clothing thanks)

Hey neighbours, is there a right way to fold towels? It seems it's a topic lots of people have strong opinions about.

The most popular options are the quick-and-easy triple fold, or folding the outer edges towards the centre before folding in thirds, to create a plusher, more spa-like look. But what do you do? And who knew folding towels could be so controversial?

There is help for families affected by problem drinking.

In extreme cases, an alcoholic may be homeless, but many live in families that are struggling because of the challenges that come with problem drinking.

Family members become lonely, isolated, ashamed and depressed. They feel that life has become unmanageable or unbearable. Al-Anon-Alateen Family Groups is a support programme for people who are living with or have lived with the problems of someone else's drinking.

Al-Anon and Alateen for young people offer understanding and personal growth - whether the alcoholic is still drinking or not. There are free of charge meetings daily around Auckland. To find one visit online here.

Members share their experiences of applying the Al-Anon principles to their lives. There is no advice given or specific direction suggested.

Below are a few thoughts from people who have tried Al-Anon:

"I believed that the only thing I needed to be happy and safe was for my husband to stop drinking."

"My life had got so out of control not knowing what my state my daughter would be in when I got home."

"I thought I was strong enough to deal with this on my own...After trying everything, I went to my first meeting."
