The Importance of Your Shop Banner

According to bizhelp24, a brand is a name or symbol that is commonly known to identify a company or it’s products and separate them from the competition. The process of establishing a brand is referred to as branding. Your shop banner and avatar are important components of branding your shop. Many Zibbet shops have beautiful, highly recognizable banners. However, others don’t have a banner at all. A shop’s banner is displayed on every page, making it a “must have” tool for branding.

A variety of Zibbet sellers are graphic designers and offer their services to create custom banners at very reasonable prices. Many sellers offer packages that include a banner and avatar as well as other graphic promotional tools such as business cards, product tags and web ads. To find shops on Zibbet that offer banners, search Zibbet for banner, Zibbet banner or shop banner. These searches will find banner listings and from there you can check out different sellers and their design styles. For recommendations from sellers who’ve purchased their banners from other Zibbet sellers, ask for feedback on Zibbet’s Community Hub. Happy customers will be glad to refer you to the shop where they purchased their banners.

An attractive banner makes your shop stand out from others. The impact and importance of a coordinated look in your shop and associated components can’t be overemphasized. Not only can you use your banner and avatar in your shop, you can also use them on your Community Hub page, in promotional posts, on your blog–any place you’re promoting your business where the upload of graphics is allowed. I recommend that you use the same avatar in all the places where you promote your shop.

If you don’t have a banner and avatar yet or if yours needs a professional touch up, there’s no time like the present to start building your brand with a coordinated set of graphic images.

Best wishes for much success on Zibbet!

    Beautifully said!
    Basic Sellers should keep in mind they now have the ability to upload a larger banner size: 880px wide by 120px high (up from 640px by 120px).

    Great points,Vicki. Every time I think I might change my avatar i don’t since I know it’s my symbol and it is recognized.

    Excellent advice and information on branding via your shop’s design elements.

    Totally agree on the importance of banners - I knitted mine of course :-)
    I’m not so convinced about avatars having to stay the same though, I change mine every now and then but it’s always one of my meerkats so I retain the branding.
