On top of that, brands were also forced to address the other issues brought on by COVID-19 like supply chain, workforce etc.

Three designers on the inspiration that goes into creating the bottles you reach for. My relationship with wine started when I was a sophomore in college and my friends and I would trek to the liquor store in downtown Baltimore that didn’t card.

This is reality, a reality that is quite predictable although the pace of change is now much more rapid than in the past.

The right design will lure your customers in and give them an easy path from one service to the next. Anything too busy — or too bare-bones — could drive potential customers away or prevent current customers from purchasing additional services.

One reason why large companies and chains steal customers away from local businesses is simply because they’ve built a brand too big to fail. Clients accept the frustrations that come with trusting large, impersonal chains because it seems accessible, reliable, and legitimate. No matter the business, if it’s a national chain, it has a website.
