Type of Business that use Custom Cartoon Logos and characters to promote themselves?

4 replies
Instead of sitting waiting for some cartoon logo business to find me in cyber space (like finding a grain of sand in the desert) I thought I would try to identify my target markets and ...well ....target them!

It occurred to me that cartoon characters and logos aren't suitable for every type of business and so I can probably narrow down a few specific markets that might consider a cartoon logo or cartoon character mascot.

So far I think:

Tradesmen
Children orientated services or products (clothes, toys)
Food outlets (maybe local fast food places - takeaways, single business operations)
Pet products

I figure once I have identified a few good niche markets I can perhaps write content that appeals to those audiences to draw them to my site or perhaps join related forums and network that way.

Any ideas who else might find a custom designed cartoon character or cartoon logo appealing?

I am also in the process of creating some stock images that people can buy exclusive rights to (save them thinking about the design process etc).

Any ideas of good stock images I can create?
(I thought initially of tradesmen in variety of trades)

    Everyone needs a mascot.

    I really sounds like you are on the right track. Taking action. That's good.

    You might also consider creating a small pamphlet with samples of your art and giving that out to local businesses.

    As far as creating stock images go, you kind of have to look at what is in big demand. And try and create things that are very general, I would think. Or create things that could go along with custom orders. I don't know. :p

    Anyway, best of luck to you!

    The stock images is a good idea. Cartoons that can be used in PowerPoint presentations, etc.

    Social media branding might be a good area for you. Folks who want to use a cartoon logo for their Twitter background or Facebook/G+?Twitter, etc. avatars.

      I like your website and cartoons. Have you done any gigs on fiverr before, seems like you could get a lot of new clients that way!
