What is Marketing Collateral Design?
Marketing collateral design isn’t just a pretty after‑thought, it’s the brand rocket that propels your business into orbit.
Why Marketing Collateral Design Is the Rocket Fuel Your Brand Needs
Too many companies treat collateral like a side project—grab a quick template, print a few pieces, call it a day. But truly effective collateral is strategic, planned, and designed to deliver ROI. Design the Planet has spent 26+ years helping Louisiana brands craft collateral that shouts their story from the rooftops—and the results are out of this world.
(Here’s a little secret most folks don’t know; even the tiniest leave‑behind card can generate measurable revenue when it’s part of a larger marketing constellation.)

The Top 5 Must‑Have Pieces (and Why They Matter)
Business Card
Small but mighty, a quality business card is a handshake in paper form. It conveys trust, professionalism, and instant recognition. In New Orleans we like to say it’s your “beignet in the morning”—simple, memorable, and irresistible.
Brochure
A tri‑fold or gate‑fold brochure offers a compact galaxy of information. It guides prospects through your company story, services, and value. A great brochure blends engaging copy with strategic design to create a mini sales pitch you can hand out anywhere.
Presentation Deck
Whether you’re pitching investors or leading a lunch‑and‑learn, a sharp slide deck can make or break the meeting. Our designers focus on clear hierarchy, branded visuals, and storytelling flow so your message lands like a Saturn V.
Trade Show Banner
At crowded expos, bold branding is your neon sign. A high‑impact banner draws foot traffic, sparks conversations, and drives leads. Done right, it pays for itself in one event.
Email Template
Digital collateral counts, too. A branded email template keeps your outreach consistent and recognizable. With smart marketing automation, you’ll see higher open rates and click‑throughs—meaning real dollars back to the business.

Two Things Most People Don’t Know
