Many of the devices we use today from laptops to mobile phones rely on resources and energy that contribute to increasing our carbon footprint and waste.</div><br><div style="color:inherit;"><span style="color:inherit;">It is estimated that the carbon footprint of our devices, the internet and the systems supporting them account for approximately 3.7% of global greenhouse emissions, similar to the amount produced by the airline industry. Further, these emissions are predicted to double by 2025 unless we do something about it. We can all make small changes to limit the impact of the technologies we use on the environment and work towards more conscious living.</span><br></div><br><div style="color:inherit;"><span style="color:inherit;">The amount of time spent on electronic devices from laptops to mobile phones all adds up. For example, a study conducted by OVO Energy[2] explains that an email sent with an attachment is estimated to use the equivalent of 50g of carbon dioxide. If you consider that approximately 4.9 billion[3] people have access to the internet and thereby email, the carbon usage of all emails sent by these individuals adds up. According to OVO Energy, if each email user in the UK sent one less unnecessary email daily, it would reduce carbon emissions by 16 433 tonnes which is equivalent to 81 152 flights from London Heathrow to Madrid.</span><br></div><div style="color:inherit;"><br></div><div style="color:inherit;">To help reduce our carbon footprint, here are a few tips that we can use to make a difference to our planet together:</div><div style="color:inherit;"><br></div><div style="color:inherit;"><span style="color:rgb(0, 172, 201);font-size:24px;">Sending smaller emails can reduce your carbon footprint</span></div><div style="color:inherit;"><br></div><div style="color:inherit;">While sending emails may not be on the top of the list as a key contributor to CO2 emissions, according to Mike Berners-Lee, a professor at the Environment Centre at Lancaster University, computers use energy when you type up the email, when you hit send they move to a network and then when you store the email to a data centre that uses a lot of energy[4]. Based on this process the average carbon footprint of an email can be anywhere from 0.03g CO2e to 26g CO2e depending on the time taken to draft the email and the content included in the email from the body copy to the images.</div><div style="color:inherit;"><br></div><div style="color:inherit;">Using predeveloping content to draft the email could save time in writing the email copy. By ensuring that the correct email content and attachments are sent in the first email, it prevents the need to send several emails about the same issue to the same person, making a difference in reducing the number of emails sent daily from 333.2 billion around the world and minimising the impact on the environment.</div><div style="color:inherit;"><br></div><div><span style="font-size:24px;color:rgb(0, 172, 201);">Send only the attachments you need to send</span></div><div style="color:inherit;"><br></div><div style="color:inherit;">Emails containing attachments can release up to 50g of CO2e. By limiting the number of attachments that are sent via email, individuals and companies alike can make a difference in their carbon footprint.</div><div style="color:inherit;"><br></div><div style="color:inherit;">This is supported by a study conducted by The Shift Project[5] that found that exchanging office documents on a shared platform, rather than emailing them across the organisation led to a 40% annual reduction in Greenhouse Gas emissions.

By making small changes to the emails we send and store, we are already on a path to helping to reduce the carbon footprint of the technology we use daily to improve efficiencies and our lives. Let’s make a change together. To help employees achieve this, software solutions, such as BrandMail, should be used to help eliminate the need to store documents and content unnecessarily, send documents to colleagues that can be accessed centrally, and spend time developing content that is frequently used. At the same time every email should carry beautifully branded and functional email signatures and eye catching banners that don’t add to the size of the email. In doing this, employees will be able to reduce their carbon footprint one email at a time.</span><br></div><br><div style="color:inherit;"><span style="color:inherit;">BrandQuantum develops software solutions to help companies deliver compliant customer communications and documents. The tamperproof email signatures that are sent out with every single email via Microsoft Outlook have built-in verification tools to give customers added peace of mind that your company emails are authentic. The BrandOffice solution offers permission control to company documents so that only those employees that need access to your documents have it. In addition, access to company documentation and templates is tracked and audited to give companies line of site of document usage and overall documentation compliance.</span><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>

On the other hand, you may not have, as typography is a more subtle part of branding that does not necessarily grab your immediate attention. However, when used consistently, typography, which is the arrangement of type and encompasses the typeface, font, and font family, reinforces your brand in the mind of the reader.<br></span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="font-size:16px;">While typography may not be the first thing that springs to mind when you think about branding, when used effectively it has a positive impact on your audience, this is according to an MIT study&nbsp;that found that unappealing fonts reflect badly on the reader’s emotional response to content. Various print publications such as magazines, newspapers, and books understand the value of typography, each medium uses subtle differences to differentiate from other publications, but all select typography that will hold the reader’s attention and not distract from the content. </span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="font-size:16px;">When compared to a logo and other visual elements of a brand, such as colour and imagery, typography may seem to be overlooked by the audience, but with the growth in digital transformation, customers are increasingly engaging with brands across various digital platforms and as such, typography needs to be a key component to all print and on-screen communications, from your letterheads to email correspondence.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="font-size:24px;color:rgb(0, 172, 201);">Typography and your brand</span></p><p><span style="font-size:16px;">Typography is important to your brand and forms part of its visual identity which is important for brand building and brand recall. This is supported by the picture superiority effect, which identifies that people recall the visual stimuli of your brand more than words. For this reason, when you see a billboard advert for a brand like Nando’s, without reading the text or seeing the logo, you would immediately recognise the brand that the font is associated with. In addition, if you saw the Nando’s font being used by a financial brand such as ABSA or Nedbank, you would question whether the brand was the right fit for you as the typography does not reflect the offering according to your expectations of a financial brand.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="font-size:16px;">As such, typography, is an important component of branding and is believed to serve four purposes: distinction, consistency, coherence, and communication. This is because the right typography aligns with the brand purpose while enhancing the brand personality. When used consistently, customers come to recognise a brand from the font that they use in their advertising and communications.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="font-size:16px;">Although digital platforms previously hampered the ability to use typography, the growth in digital transformation has driven the popularity of digital platforms as a preferred method of communication, as such more options are becoming available for brands to incorporate typography across platforms which means that brands can now use custom typography to distinguish from other brands in all correspondence.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="font-size:24px;color:rgb(0, 172, 201);">Typography differentiates email correspondence</span></p><p><span style="font-size:16px;">As email is a popular choice for customer correspondence, this method of communication should incorporate the company brand elements from the logo to the colour and even the typography, which should be standard across the entire organisation. </span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="font-size:16px;">Standard fonts such as Times New Roman and Arial, have dominated email correspondence for many years thanks to their ability to be easy to read on low-resolution screens. However, as screen resolutions improve, companies are now spoilt for choice with a variety of attractive, standardised fonts that are viewed the same on the sender’s and recipient’s screens. While these fonts are typically best used in the body of an email, companies should use decorative typefaces for their logo[4], and if they have a custom font, it should be used in all email banners and signatures to reinforce the brand across all email correspondence.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="color:rgb(0, 172, 201);font-size:24px;">Typography provides consistency across platforms</span></p><p><span style="font-size:16px;">Although colour is highly regarded in branding and companies pay close attention to the Pantone used across branding materials and documents, typography provides consistency across all platforms where colour can fall short. For example, whether looking at typography on a screen or a sheet of paper, it remains consistent. Colour, on the other hand, may appear different on different screens and when printed out using different printers. </span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="font-size:16px;">With this in mind, typography is more resilient than colour and as it is colour-agnostic, is an easily identified brand element even when used in black and white. As such all company documents and emails should incorporate a brand’s typography to enhance the brand and deliver a consistent experience across all customer communications.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="font-size:16px;">With BrandMail, companies can use custom fonts within email signatures and banners to deliver consistent branding in every customer interaction.

</div><div data-element-id="elm_36-D5MPYSa6YJbbAzV8mvQ" data-element-type="text" class="zpelement zpelem-text BQBody "><style> [data-element-id="elm_36-D5MPYSa6YJbbAzV8mvQ"].zpelem-text { border-radius:1px; } </style><div class="zptext zptext-align-center " data-editor="true"><p style="text-align:left;">3 April 2021 - BrandQuantum today announced updates to its BrandMe page solution within <a href="/brandmail" title="BrandMail" rel="">BrandMail</a>. The BrandMe page, which is opened by clicking on the sender’s email signature and acts as a digital business card, now includes a header banner feature and additional fields that allow for greater customisation and personalisation for companies and their employees.</p><p style="text-align:left;"><br></p><p style="text-align:left;">According to <a href="/board-members" title="Paula Sartini" rel="">Paula Sartini</a>, founder and CEO at BrandQuantum, “Companies are looking for ways to showcase and reinforce their brands amongst their customers. With the latest updates to the BrandMe page, marketing departments have greater control over the branding elements within the page and the fields that they would like to include such as links to social media pages or calendars to book appointments as well as biographies and accolades. In essence, the BrandMe page is a fully digital business card with so much more information about the sender and the company.”</p><p style="text-align:left;"><br></p><p style="text-align:left;">While branding is important for customers, employer branding is an important component to attracting and retaining the right staff. This is supported by LinkedIn research which found that over 80% of leaders acknowledge that employer branding has a significant impact on a company’s ability to hire talent. </p><p style="text-align:left;"><br></p><p style="text-align:left;">Sartini adds, “Employer branding is becoming more important for companies to attract and retain the right employees. At the same time, companies are realising the benefits of allowing employees to personalise details and showcase their individuality within the parameters of the brand they represent.”</p><p style="text-align:left;"><br></p><p style="text-align:left;">With the BrandMe page, marketing departments can manage the BrandMe page fields and content centrally, giving them full control to upload header banners, visually bring the page in line with their brand, or change content as needed. Employees also have the flexibility to manage and control elements within the BrandMe page such as including a personal biography or demonstrate social diversity by listing the pronouns they identify with.”</p><p style="text-align:left;"><br></p><p><span style="color:inherit;"></span></p><p style="text-align:left;">“With customer’s expectations evolving, people want to know who they are speaking to and an email signature provides a simple and affordable mechanism to make this happen,” adds Sartini. “By adding more detail to the BrandMe page, there is greater transparency about the sender of the email which gives the recipient more information to establish a relationship of trust in the brand.”&nbsp;</p></div>
