Launch your look

put the plan to work.

This is where the brand and media plan from step 1 pays off. The wrap, umbrella, menu board and uniforms all match, the website is live, and you have real photos on day one.

Everything from one plan

Because step 1 listed every place your brand shows up, this step is ordering, not designing. Everything matches because it all came from the same files.

Opening day is also your best photo shoot. Fresh cart, first customers, the food at its best.

What to do

  1. Install the wrap, umbrella and menu board. Check the menu from where the line stands.
  2. Dress the part. Shirts, aprons or hats with the logo.
  3. Shoot your launch photos and a few short videos. Follow the shot list from step 1.
  4. Put the website live. Menu, hours, where you'll be, catering, how to reach you.
  5. Set up social profiles to match. The same name, logo and colors everywhere.

Mistakes we see

  • A different logo version on the cart, the website and Facebook.
  • Opening with stock photos instead of your own food.
