Great Visual Marketing Examples on a Budget #MyBlogU

Sharing is caring!

So we’ve covered a few of the best free image creation and visual marketing tools.

Now, let’s try to list some examples of the actual visual marketing tactics to get our inspiration flowing!

I didn’t want to list any huge campaigns that would require huge budgets or whole teams to implement.

Instead, let’s look at some small but very creative visual marketing tactics you can learn from to create something similar right away!

1. FirstSiteGuide: Cartoonize to Stand out & Create Consistent Design

FirstSiteGuide successfully combines influencer marketing (expert interviews with prominent bloggers) with visual marketing (marketing cartoonized version of those author pictures) that helps them achieve a consistent design.

This way they make those profile pictures more original and sharable while still recognizable.

2. #Pubcon: Use Visual Quotes to Get Influencers Promote Your Testimonials

Pubcon is doing a great job visualizing speakers’ quotes and marketing them on social media, one by one, tagging each author on Twitter, Facebook and Linkedin.

That’s a great (almost irresistible) way to get your brand testimonial retweeted by that influencer!

3. ViralContentBuzz: Use Mascots to Expand Your Marketing Channels and Build Loyalty

ViralContentBuzz is marketing a mascot, a little animated bee that answers users’ questions, came from the “buzz” word in the brand name and with time it became the most essential connection among all our marketing elements:

• Our video instructions are led by the bee
• Our site “PRO packages” are called “Honey bee” and “Busy bee”
• Our slogans and ads incorporate the bee as well: “Bee awesome”, “Bee popular”, etc.

Amazingly, having a mascot actually encourages you to get more creative inspiring various ways to integrate the character into the marketing strategy.
