Create a Memorable logo!
We know that this is easier said than done, but believe that the importance of a memorable logo is vital for your store.
The main reason is that it is the easiest way to encompass your brand and everything it represents in one image, and that is saying enough.
When you create an easy-to-recognize logo, customers already have a predetermined image of how to locate you, and they will know that you are not just another store but a unique store with its characteristics.
The article "The Importance of Logo Design" by Chrysalis, a leading design company in Jamaica says:
A logo is an important part of your company’s brand, and makes a significant impact on a company’s public perception. In fact, a logo is one of the most important branding investments a business can make.

Design the complete experience of your brand
Opening a dropshipping store has been marketed as a simple way to make money without much effort, this means that when contacting one of these brands it has 0% branding in it but 100% desire to become a millionaire from day tonight.
The effort almost always bears good fruit, so if you manage to differentiate your store from a lot of competitors who only put a generic name and the avatar of their email, the safest thing is that you will transmit more confidence and elegance to your consumers.
Customers value the effort you put into your store because it makes them feel like you care about your business and give them excellent service, so you need to put effort into designing every aspect of your store.
For example, it is not the same to receive the merchandise in a common brown bag that you may have gotten in an office store, then for the same box or bag to come with the default design of your logo, a letter of thanks and to top it off the entire customer experience, a confirmation email with all the credentials of your brand.
To stand out, we have to show people that we are professionals, not just opportunists who are taking advantage of the wave of this business model.
To make your designing task easier, here are some aspects to consider when you are creating.
Create the basic pages
Your website has to look clean and professional, not only having the products and paying options, your website has to look legit.
Most dropshipping owners don't focus on this, and for this reason, people don't trust fully in their services, cause it's hard to buy from a brand that doesn't even have a contact page, it looks like buying products illegally you know?
So what are the main pages you should focus on, well, pay close attention:
- Privacy Policy & Terms of Service
- Refund Policy
- Shipping Policy
- Contact page
- About page
- FAQ page
- Homepage
Besides these pages, everything is optional, which could be great to differentiate your page, but with these, you will be fine.
Study what colour could go well with your brand
What comes to your mind when we say green? Nature, plants maybe health, healing or something deeper.
Believe it or not, colours have a meaning of their own and psychology has proved it.
So don't choose just your favourite colour because you love it and look great, instead, study what these colours mean and fix it with the story and values of your brand.
