When it comes to marketing your business, creativity is a key aspect. Creativity is especially important when it comes to
vehicle wraps in Columbia, Jefferson City or the Lake of the Ozarks. You want to create a custom vehicle wrap that stands out, while keeping it simple and easy for customers to understand. Sometimes its difficult to get those creative juices flowing, so here are some tips from
Inc.com you can try:
1. Keep a Notebook for Thoughts.
There's nothing worse than getting a great idea and then forgetting it before you can impliment it. By keeping a notebook with you, you can record ideas as soon as they come to you. You could even keep virtual notes on your smarphone. Then when you need to get creative, you have ideas to get you started.
2. Use Your Surroundings.
The environment you're in can inspire great ideas. Sometimes you come up with an idea in the most unlikely of places. If you're looking at the same four walls all day long, you're limiting your perspective. Take a break and get out of the office. Instead of eating your lunch at your desk, take it outside when the weather is nice. If you can't leave your office, add some elements to help inspire you, such as pictures, plants, books or toys.
3. Ask Questions.
There are multiple ways to solve problems. Asking "Why?" and "How?" can help you understand things in a new way. Another great question to ask youself is, "What's Missing?" Use these questions to get more details and help you expand your idea.
4. Turn It Around.
Sometimes switching gears is all you need to get creative. Try looking for the opposite of what you want. Sometimes exploring how to make a bad situation worse can tell you what not to do. When you're stuck on something, a different perspective could be the solution.
5. Combine Random Ideas.
Try to figure out how to use two very different items together. For example, maybe you have a bottle of water and an ink pen on your desk, how can you put those together to form an idea? You may not generate a useful idea with some water and and pen, but you can train your brain to see different possibilities by using this exercise.
6. Recruit Help.
Sometimes you need another person's perspective to finish an idea. Find a friend, family member or coworker to bounce your ideas off of. Choose someone that you're comfortable with, but who will challenge you when necessary. When it comes to your vehicle wrap, the team at
ProDezigns is ready to hear your ideas!
7. Read Something New.
If you find yourself reading the same old newspapers, trade publications, blogs and the like, try picking up something new. A murder mystery, a gardening book, a Shakespeare volume or anything that will teach you something you don't know could be the key to getting those creative juices flowing.
8. Accept Failure and Move On.
When trying new and different approches, expect to make mistakes. No one is perfect and when it comes to creativity there's not one simple solution. Sometimes colossal failures can lead to amazing successes and perfect ideas!
9. Channel Your "Inner Child."
Maybe you've noticed how most kids are unafraid to take gigantic risks or make fools of themselves? They haven't been trained to use a safe approach and sometimes that just what we need to come up with a great idea. Even if a child's ideas aren't fully developed, their dreams are big enough to take chances. This is something we need to re-learn as adults to increase our creativity.
10. Relax Your Brain.
If you're brain is on overload, you're going to have trouble coming up with that great idea. Give your subconcious a chance to work by turning your brain off every once in awhile. Rather than constantly focusing on solving problems, take time to exercise and relax. Give yourself permission to think about other things and remember that a tired mind won't generate fresh ideas.
