You can accomplish these results through visuals, such as using the right colors, shapes and typography and also through the way you communicate, like your content strategy or which channels you use. We explain these five areas in detail below.<\/p>\n<p>Your branding choices should complement your business strategies and goals. For example, a company whose top priority is customer acquisition benefits from different branding strategies than a company whose priority is customer retention. But to complicate things further, the food industry has to make branding decisions based on both their business style and what their audience finds appetizing.<\/p>\n<p>Below we explain the best stylistic choices for successful food branding strategies, but before we get into that, let\u2019s talk business. There are some key aspects of your company that you&#8217;ll need to understand before you dive into the creative process.<\/p>\n<h3>3 questions to ask yourself<\/h3>\n\n<figure data-id=\"215814\" id=\"mediaattachment_215814\"  class=\"figure--right\">\n    <img width=\"598\" height=\"564\" data-public-id=\"ideas-and-advice-prod\/blogadmin\/Screen-Shot-2020-02-06-at-15.20.49\/Screen-Shot-2020-02-06-at-15.20.49.png\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-post-10117 wp-image-14421 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vistaprint\/images\/w_598,h_564,c_scale\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1712932329\/ideas-and-advice-prod\/blogadmin\/Screen-Shot-2020-02-06-at-15.20.49\/Screen-Shot-2020-02-06-at-15.20.49.png?_i=AA\" alt=\"Food branding logo: Blink!\" data-format=\"png\" data-transformations=\"f_auto,q_auto\" data-version=\"1712932329\" data-seo=\"1\" data-responsive=\"1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vistaprint\/images\/w_598,h_564,c_scale\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1712932329\/ideas-and-advice-prod\/blogadmin\/Screen-Shot-2020-02-06-at-15.20.49\/Screen-Shot-2020-02-06-at-15.20.49.png?_i=AA 598w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vistaprint\/images\/w_448,h_422,c_scale\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1712932329\/ideas-and-advice-prod\/blogadmin\/Screen-Shot-2020-02-06-at-15.20.49\/Screen-Shot-2020-02-06-at-15.20.49.png?_i=AA 448w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vistaprint\/images\/w_248,h_233,c_scale\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1712932329\/ideas-and-advice-prod\/blogadmin\/Screen-Shot-2020-02-06-at-15.20.49\/Screen-Shot-2020-02-06-at-15.20.49.png?_i=AA 248w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 598px) 100vw, 598px\" \/>    <p><em>Logo design by <a  href=\"https:\/\/99designs.com\/profiles\/nevergohungry\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-track-click data-track-hover >nevergohungry<\/a> via 99designs by Vista.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n\n<p>You\u2019ll need to answer some hard questions about your business before you can determine what branding strategies will work best. These three key questions will help you get to the heart of what your business is really all about.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\"><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Who\u2019s buying your product?<\/strong> Who is your target market or customer? What are their demographics? What do they like, how do they want to be talked to and what are their pain points (related obstacles and inconveniences they want removed from their life)? Branding is tailored to your target customers, so the more you understand them, the better.<\/li>\n<li><strong>How would you describe your brand?<\/strong> This is more of a creative exercise to help pinpoint your branding style. If you have an eloquent answer to this question, great! If not, don\u2019t sweat it\u2014try listing out adjectives to describe your ideal <a href=\"https:\/\/vistaprint.com\/hub\/understanding-brand-personality\">brand personality<\/a> until you have a good idea. Adjectives like energetic, passionate, inviting or dependable can help you hone in on your brand\u2019s voice and character.<\/li>\n<li><strong>What separates you from your competition?<\/strong> In other words, what\u2019s your value proposition? Why should customers choose you instead of your rivals? A key aspect of branding is isolating your most attractive features and playing those up so people think of you first when it\u2019s time to part with their money.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Once you know the answers to these questions, you can begin to construct your ideal food branding strategy.

Logo<\/strong> \u2014 The face of your brand and centerpiece of your entire food branding strategy. The most important branding element, your food logo anchors everything your company represents.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Website<\/strong> \u2014 The way your website looks is important, but looks don&#8217;t mean anything if it doesn&#8217;t work. Functionality and ease-of-use are the king and queen of website design; they reveal just how adept your company really is.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Brand messaging<\/strong> \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/vistaprint.com\/hub\/brand-messaging\">What is your brand saying?<\/a> Your brand messaging includes its values, mission statements, beliefs, frequent talking points and, of course, the brand slogan.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Product packaging<\/strong> \u2014 When it comes to food branding, your choice of product packaging is crucial. Packaging has the power to attract customers and is a visual representation of the culinary experience your product offers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Brick &amp; mortar shops<\/strong> \u2014 This is optional for some food brands, but most food businesses need to consider how to brand their shops, stores or locations. This includes things like in-store branding, branded aprons, napkins, signs, mugs, interior design and music choice, but also the customer service and in-store experience you offer.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>6. Social media<\/strong> \u2014 A personal way to engage directly with customers and start a dialogue. The type of posts you publish, as well as the channels you publish on, can provide a direct link to your specific niche market.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7. Email marketing<\/strong> \u2014 Emails are a favorite strategy for online marketers because they\u2019re more intimate than other methods of outreach, and interestingly have some of the best clickthrough rates. By sharing the same communication methods as friends and family and speaking directly to the reader one-on-one, email marketing gives you the chance to present your brand in a human light.<\/p>\n<p><strong>8. Advertising<\/strong> \u2014 Some traditions never die. Paid advertisements, though not as trustworthy as they used to be, are still quite effective in increasing the reach of your brand message, accessing potential customers that other avenues can&#8217;t match.<\/p>\n<p><strong>9. Content &amp; influencer marketing<\/strong> \u2014 Blog posts, videos, photos for social media, infographics and the like. Just as different artists have different styles, the various types of content you produce weave together a cohesive tapestry that tells potential and existing customers who you really are.<\/p>\n<p><strong>10. Merchandise<\/strong> \u2014 This could be traditional swag, like T-shirts or mugs sold in your restaurant, or something more creative like tote bags, cardboard cups and branded take-home containers.<\/p>\n\n<figure data-id=\"215819\" id=\"mediaattachment_215819\"  class=\"figure--full\">\n    <img width=\"766\" height=\"496\" data-public-id=\"ideas-and-advice-prod\/blogadmin\/attachment_93089334-e1582679077736\/attachment_93089334-e1582679077736.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-post-10117 wp-image-14425 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vistaprint\/images\/w_766,h_496,c_scale\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1712932326\/ideas-and-advice-prod\/blogadmin\/attachment_93089334-e1582679077736\/attachment_93089334-e1582679077736.jpg?_i=AA\" alt=\"Food branding logo: Julian\u2019s\" data-format=\"jpg\" data-transformations=\"f_auto,q_auto\" data-version=\"1712932326\" data-seo=\"1\" data-responsive=\"1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vistaprint\/images\/w_766,h_496,c_scale\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1712932326\/ideas-and-advice-prod\/blogadmin\/attachment_93089334-e1582679077736\/attachment_93089334-e1582679077736.jpg?_i=AA 766w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vistaprint\/images\/w_648,h_419,c_scale\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1712932326\/ideas-and-advice-prod\/blogadmin\/attachment_93089334-e1582679077736\/attachment_93089334-e1582679077736.jpg?_i=AA 648w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vistaprint\/images\/w_448,h_290,c_scale\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1712932326\/ideas-and-advice-prod\/blogadmin\/attachment_93089334-e1582679077736\/attachment_93089334-e1582679077736.jpg?_i=AA 448w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vistaprint\/images\/w_248,h_160,c_scale\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1712932326\/ideas-and-advice-prod\/blogadmin\/attachment_93089334-e1582679077736\/attachment_93089334-e1582679077736.jpg?_i=AA 248w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 766px) 100vw, 766px\" \/>    <p><em>Branding package design by <a  href=\"https:\/\/99designs.com\/profiles\/1241314 \" rel=\"nofollow\" data-track-click data-track-hover >Project 4<\/a> via 99designs by Vista.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n\n<p>These are the 10 main areas of a successful food branding strategy, and the methods you\u2019ll use to create a cohesive and consistent branding personality.

We see these warm color combinations in almost all of our favorite fast food chains. Green on the other hand is popular with natural and organic food brands.<\/p>\n<p>Based on color theory, it\u2019s recommended to avoid blue in food branding. Aside from blueberries, it\u2019s rare to find edible blue food in the wild, so consequently blue has the least effect on appetite. But for branding in general, blue is hands-down the most popular color, presumably because its link to trust and community. For that reason, you still see blue as a frequent accent color in food branding, as with Burger King, Sonic and Popeyes.<\/p>\n<h3><a name=\"section5\"><\/a>Best shapes for food branding<\/h3>\n\n<figure data-id=\"215827\" id=\"mediaattachment_215827\"  class=\"figure--right\">\n    <img width=\"573\" height=\"546\" data-public-id=\"ideas-and-advice-prod\/blogadmin\/Screen-Shot-2020-02-06-at-14.30.24\/Screen-Shot-2020-02-06-at-14.30.24.png\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-post-10117 wp-image-14429 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vistaprint\/images\/w_573,h_546,c_scale\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1712932336\/ideas-and-advice-prod\/blogadmin\/Screen-Shot-2020-02-06-at-14.30.24\/Screen-Shot-2020-02-06-at-14.30.24.png?_i=AA\" alt=\"Food branding logo: The Organic Blend\" data-format=\"png\" data-transformations=\"f_auto,q_auto\" data-version=\"1712932336\" data-seo=\"1\" data-responsive=\"1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vistaprint\/images\/w_573,h_546,c_scale\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1712932336\/ideas-and-advice-prod\/blogadmin\/Screen-Shot-2020-02-06-at-14.30.24\/Screen-Shot-2020-02-06-at-14.30.24.png?_i=AA 573w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vistaprint\/images\/w_448,h_426,c_scale\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1712932336\/ideas-and-advice-prod\/blogadmin\/Screen-Shot-2020-02-06-at-14.30.24\/Screen-Shot-2020-02-06-at-14.30.24.png?_i=AA 448w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vistaprint\/images\/w_248,h_236,c_scale\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1712932336\/ideas-and-advice-prod\/blogadmin\/Screen-Shot-2020-02-06-at-14.30.24\/Screen-Shot-2020-02-06-at-14.30.24.png?_i=AA 248w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 573px) 100vw, 573px\" \/>    <p><em>Logo design by <a  href=\"https:\/\/99designs.com\/profiles\/2140622\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-track-click data-track-hover >Bendazs!\u2122<\/a> via 99designs by Vista.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n\n<p>In branding, shapes are quite influential in how a brand\u2019s personality is received. Brands with circular logos, for example, are seen as more inviting and casual, whereas rigid rectangular shapes are seen as more reliable or effective. This means the shape should relate to your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vistaprint.com\/hub\/brand-identity\">brand identity<\/a> instead of your industry.<\/p>\n<p>That said, most food brands benefit from friendly brand personalities, and logos with circles or curves come across as more approachable. This isn\u2019t just about a circular frame around the logo, but also curvaceous lines within the logo itself, as seen in the Organic Blend logo below.<\/p>\n<p>Rectangular, triangular and sharp angled logos have a more formal feel and perform better in industries like legal or financial, although some high-end restaurants or wine companies (like FZ Wines below) might also take advantage of that formality.<\/p>\n\n<figure data-id=\"215831\" id=\"mediaattachment_215831\"  class=\"figure--full\">\n    <img width=\"959\" height=\"674\" data-public-id=\"ideas-and-advice-prod\/blogadmin\/attachment_114487310-e1582679585520\/attachment_114487310-e1582679585520.jpeg\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-post-10117 wp-image-14431 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vistaprint\/images\/w_959,h_674,c_scale\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1712932338\/ideas-and-advice-prod\/blogadmin\/attachment_114487310-e1582679585520\/attachment_114487310-e1582679585520.jpeg?_i=AA\" alt=\"Food branding logo: FZ Wines\" data-format=\"jpeg\" data-transformations=\"f_auto,q_auto\" data-version=\"1712932338\" data-seo=\"1\" data-responsive=\"1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vistaprint\/images\/w_959,h_674,c_scale\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1712932338\/ideas-and-advice-prod\/blogadmin\/attachment_114487310-e1582679585520\/attachment_114487310-e1582679585520.jpeg?_i=AA 959w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vistaprint\/images\/w_848,h_595,c_scale\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1712932338\/ideas-and-advice-prod\/blogadmin\/attachment_114487310-e1582679585520\/attachment_114487310-e1582679585520.jpeg?_i=AA 848w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vistaprint\/images\/w_648,h_455,c_scale\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1712932338\/ideas-and-advice-prod\/blogadmin\/attachment_114487310-e1582679585520\/attachment_114487310-e1582679585520.jpeg?_i=AA 648w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vistaprint\/images\/w_448,h_314,c_scale\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1712932338\/ideas-and-advice-prod\/blogadmin\/attachment_114487310-e1582679585520\/attachment_114487310-e1582679585520.jpeg?_i=AA 448w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vistaprint\/images\/w_248,h_174,c_scale\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1712932338\/ideas-and-advice-prod\/blogadmin\/attachment_114487310-e1582679585520\/attachment_114487310-e1582679585520.jpeg?_i=AA 248w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 959px) 100vw, 959px\" \/>    <p><em>Logo design by <a  href=\"https:\/\/99designs.com\/profiles\/1834922\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-track-click data-track-hover >mikata<\/a> via 99designs by Vista.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n\n<p>If you\u2019d like a serious logo but still want customers to feel at home, you can always blend shapes together.

A bit of forward thinking on the front end will help you avoid trouble as your brand evolves.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<figure data-id=\"217381\" id=\"mediaattachment_217381\"  class=\"figure--full\">\n    <img width=\"1000\" height=\"754\" data-public-id=\"ideas-and-advice-prod\/blogadmin\/CornFlakes\/CornFlakes.jpeg\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-post-10117 wp-image-14439 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vistaprint\/images\/w_1000,h_754,c_scale\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1712932316\/ideas-and-advice-prod\/blogadmin\/CornFlakes\/CornFlakes.jpeg?_i=AA\" alt=\"Corn flakes box yellow and white with brown lettering\" data-format=\"jpeg\" data-transformations=\"f_auto,q_auto\" data-version=\"1712932316\" data-seo=\"1\" data-responsive=\"1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vistaprint\/images\/w_1000,h_754,c_scale\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1712932316\/ideas-and-advice-prod\/blogadmin\/CornFlakes\/CornFlakes.jpeg?_i=AA 1000w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vistaprint\/images\/w_848,h_639,c_scale\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1712932316\/ideas-and-advice-prod\/blogadmin\/CornFlakes\/CornFlakes.jpeg?_i=AA 848w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vistaprint\/images\/w_648,h_488,c_scale\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1712932316\/ideas-and-advice-prod\/blogadmin\/CornFlakes\/CornFlakes.jpeg?_i=AA 648w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vistaprint\/images\/w_448,h_337,c_scale\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1712932316\/ideas-and-advice-prod\/blogadmin\/CornFlakes\/CornFlakes.jpeg?_i=AA 448w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vistaprint\/images\/w_248,h_186,c_scale\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1712932316\/ideas-and-advice-prod\/blogadmin\/CornFlakes\/CornFlakes.jpeg?_i=AA 248w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>    <p><em>Packaging design by <a  href=\"https:\/\/99designs.com\/profiles\/1458019\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-track-click data-track-hover >tomdesign.org<\/a> via 99designs by Vista.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Who is my customer?

If your color palette is bright and modern, with subversive, urban messaging, your store better give customers a similar experience. Your customers&#8217; senses will be activated from the minute they walk in the door. The layout of the space, your logo placement and staff uniforms (or lack of uniform) all come together to create a cohesive sense of your brand.<\/p>\n<h3><a name=\"section9\"><\/a>Food branding on social media<\/h3>\n<p>Food brands can successfully post their content on any social media\u2014even LinkedIn professionals would be interested in a time-saving recipe. But the best channels for food branding are typically the ones that revolve around visuals because they\u2019re a hotbed for food pics. Instagram, Pinterest and Snapchat, with their emphasis on images and videos, are the best fit for most food branding strategies. (Bonus points for including your logo in the background!) If you make a branding video, you can also utilize YouTube as well, plus link your YouTube video on all of your social media channels.<\/p>\n<p>When launching a social media campaign stick tight to the branding guidelines you&#8217;ve already established and follow these simple, yet powerful guidelines:<\/p>\n<h4>Tell a story<\/h4>\n<p>Random images of food products are fine, but they&#8217;ll pack a bigger punch if they&#8217;re telling a quick story, are part of a greater story about you or your brand or are connected to a story or idea that everyone can relate to.<\/p>\n<h4>Invest in visuals<\/h4>\n<p>It&#8217;s all about the visuals, baby. Shoddy images won&#8217;t fly on social media\u2014and posts without images get significantly less action than those with striking photos. Think about the fuzzy or amateurish images you sometimes see while scrolling Instagram. Do they inspire you to stop and dig deeper into the post? Nah. This is where the concept of &#8220;you only have one chance to make a first impression&#8221; really comes into play. Take the time to teach yourself about capturing quality shots of your food product. This requires learning about cameras (yes, your iPhone may be adequate, but make sure that&#8217;s true before you post your first image), lighting, shot set-up and visual storytelling. To ensure quality shots, many brands hire a professional stylist\/food photographer to take their social media shots.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/milkbarstore.com\/\">Milk Bar<\/a> is all about the sweet shot:<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-10117 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-full'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<img width=\"800\" height=\"800\" data-public-id=\"ideas-and-advice-prod\/blogadmin\/cookies1\/cookies1.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vistaprint\/images\/w_800,h_800,c_fill,g_auto\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1712932340\/ideas-and-advice-prod\/blogadmin\/cookies1\/cookies1.jpg?_i=AA\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-14395\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-14395\" data-format=\"jpg\" data-transformations=\"f_auto,q_auto\" data-version=\"1712932340\" data-seo=\"1\" data-responsive=\"1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vistaprint\/images\/w_800,h_800,c_fill,g_auto\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1712932340\/ideas-and-advice-prod\/blogadmin\/cookies1\/cookies1.jpg?_i=AA 800w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vistaprint\/images\/w_648,h_648,c_fill,g_auto\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1712932340\/ideas-and-advice-prod\/blogadmin\/cookies1\/cookies1.jpg?_i=AA 648w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vistaprint\/images\/w_448,h_448,c_fill,g_auto\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1712932340\/ideas-and-advice-prod\/blogadmin\/cookies1\/cookies1.jpg?_i=AA 448w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vistaprint\/images\/w_248,h_248,c_fill,g_auto\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1712932340\/ideas-and-advice-prod\/blogadmin\/cookies1\/cookies1.jpg?_i=AA 248w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-14395'>\n\t\t\t\tvia <a href=\"https:\/\/milkbarstore.com\/\">Milk Bar<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<img width=\"800\" height=\"800\" data-public-id=\"ideas-and-advice-prod\/blogadmin\/coookie2\/coookie2.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vistaprint\/images\/w_800,h_800,c_fill,g_auto\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1712932342\/ideas-and-advice-prod\/blogadmin\/coookie2\/coookie2.jpg?_i=AA\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-14397\" alt=\"\" data-format=\"jpg\" data-transformations=\"f_auto,q_auto\" data-version=\"1712932342\" data-seo=\"1\" data-responsive=\"1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vistaprint\/images\/w_800,h_800,c_fill,g_auto\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1712932342\/ideas-and-advice-prod\/blogadmin\/coookie2\/coookie2.jpg?_i=AA 800w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vistaprint\/images\/w_648,h_648,c_fill,g_auto\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1712932342\/ideas-and-advice-prod\/blogadmin\/coookie2\/coookie2.jpg?_i=AA 648w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vistaprint\/images\/w_448,h_448,c_fill,g_auto\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1712932342\/ideas-and-advice-prod\/blogadmin\/coookie2\/coookie2.jpg?_i=AA 448w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vistaprint\/images\/w_248,h_248,c_fill,g_auto\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1712932342\/ideas-and-advice-prod\/blogadmin\/coookie2\/coookie2.jpg?_i=AA 248w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<img width=\"800\" height=\"800\" data-public-id=\"ideas-and-advice-prod\/blogadmin\/cake-\/cake-.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vistaprint\/images\/w_800,h_800,c_fill,g_auto\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1712932343\/ideas-and-advice-prod\/blogadmin\/cake-\/cake-.jpg?_i=AA\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-14399\" alt=\"\" data-format=\"jpg\" data-transformations=\"f_auto,q_auto\" data-version=\"1712932343\" data-seo=\"1\" data-responsive=\"1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vistaprint\/images\/w_800,h_800,c_fill,g_auto\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1712932343\/ideas-and-advice-prod\/blogadmin\/cake-\/cake-.jpg?_i=AA 800w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vistaprint\/images\/w_648,h_648,c_fill,g_auto\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1712932343\/ideas-and-advice-prod\/blogadmin\/cake-\/cake-.jpg?_i=AA 648w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vistaprint\/images\/w_448,h_448,c_fill,g_auto\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1712932343\/ideas-and-advice-prod\/blogadmin\/cake-\/cake-.jpg?_i=AA 448w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vistaprint\/images\/w_248,h_248,c_fill,g_auto\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1712932343\/ideas-and-advice-prod\/blogadmin\/cake-\/cake-.jpg?_i=AA 248w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<h4>Give them video<\/h4>\n<p>Quality images are essential, but video is where it&#8217;s at.

Be sure that the images have a consistent tone and feel. You want to give your users a cohesive experience of your Instagram or Pinterest page. If some shots are dark and moody and others clean and bright it will feel jarring. Also, master the hashtag. Hashtags are your key to connecting with more people. Get familiar with popular industry hashtags as well as customized hashtags specifically for your unique brand.<\/p>\n<p>Ice and Vice, a hip NYC ice cream shop, takes most of their ice cream shots
