How Sage & Oak Can Help You Grow Your Business

Have you ever been trying really hard to figure something out, I'm talking about something you've spent far too long on, and when you finally ask for help, the help you asked for solves your dilemma in no time? Don't be embarrassed! It is okay to not know everything and it is perfectly acceptable to ask for help. In this blog we are going to talk about some ways that we, as Sage & Oak, might be able to help you grow your business!

Graphic Design

Taylor is a freelance graphic designer, which basically means she works for herself and is available to hire for any design needs. All the things, from logos to marketing materials, and all the fun stuff in between. She has helped numerous bands, brands, and professionals create logos and other marketing materials to which has allowed her with the opportunity to help others grow while gaining the experience to make her even better at the things she already does an amazing job at.

Graphic design is very important. Your logo will likely be the first visual impression of who and what you and your brand are and proper graphic design allows your logo to give the impression that you want it to give. We all know how important first impressions are. You don’t want someone to look at your logo and either be confused about what you do or just completely be put-off by the design. There are times when we judge businesses and brands on nothing more than their logo whether we realize it or not. You wouldn’t want poor graphic design to be the reason someone doesn’t think twice about passing on your products or services. Taylor always tries her best to provide clients with designs they won’t be ashamed of.

The following are a few things she can design:

• Logos

• Custom stickers

• Product labels

• Business cards

• Social media graphics

• Social media header/cover graphics

• Website wireframes

• Marketing materials

• Custom window decals

Website Design

Are you ready to take your business online? We can help with that! It’s totally okay if you don’t know anything about building a website. We’ll explain everything to you in a way that’s easily understandable to ensure you get the most out of your experience.

Web design is one of our favorite things to do. We can come up with a design that represents you in a way that stands out from the crowd and will help your brand grow. We’ll start with a wireframe draft on paper before we start building. We’ll always include you every step of the way so you can understand the whole process as we go. Your new website will not only look great, but it will also help turn your leads into customers with effective design and clear communication throughout. When you’re satisfied with the design, we’ll launch your new website and you can watch the leads roll in.

One of our favorite things about custom commissions is that they are always different. They create a break in the monotony of our days and often times feel like fun little adventures. We do all sorts of things from printing small round labels for bags to installing vinyl logos and business hours on shop windows and doors. We’ve made custom wood signs before as well! If you have an idea, feel free to reach out and see if we can be of help!

Wholesale Stickers

Do you have a small business, storefront, or a shop of any kind that you’ve been looking for new ways to expand? Maybe you have decided to add some more variety to your business but you don’t really have the time to figure out what comes next or what products to add. We have an easy solution, purchasing wholesale stickers from us!

You can purchase almost all of our sticker designs wholesale! This means that you can purchase a bulk order of our stickers, at a discounted rate and then you can set your own prices to sell those stickers in your own shop. Wholesaling through us is a really neat way to add some variety to your business and gives you the chance to make a little money off of a new product. Almost every sticker we’ve ever made is available wholesale and if you don’t see what you’re looking for, just ask and we can make it happen!

We can even create a custom sticker design for you as well! Custom sticker designs are unique to you and nobody else in the world could sell it unless you gave them your permission to, not even us. How cool would being able to sell a design unique to you? You can help your business grow while supporting another small business along the way.
