Overcoming the Canva free-for-all with RightMarket
Most marketing teams or amateur designers will have heard of Canva. In the last few years, it’s put design tools on the map and allowed those with little creative experience to easily craft great artwork.
If you run a very small business with only a select few people responsible for creating comms, Canva is probably an ideal tool for you.
But if you run an SME or larger organisation, Canva is likely the root cause of all your creative team’s headaches. While it’s great at empowering people in your organisation who don’t have design experience, it doesn’t necessarily keep them on brand. Canva lets you set some brand elements, but there’s still every risk that someone can rogue and create a ClipArt-esque design that they think is brilliant.
The result is mismatched marketing materials that don’t truly represent you. You need a Canva alternative that keeps everyone on-brand while still allowing easy design regardless of user skill.
This is where tools like RightMarket prove their value. Our user-friendly templates keeps people on brand always, letting you reap the rewards of consistency and stop your design team from having to manage every single request.
We spoke to Lis Harding, Graphic Designer at Ashgate Hospice to find out why she needed RightMarket to end Canva chaos.
Draining capacity
One of the main difficulties marketing and creative teams experience when managing their brand is time. You either have to disrupt your working day by being available to respond to last-minute design requests from other teams or spend time governing the designs they make themselves.
In either scenario, it’s hard to find the capacity to focus on your larger tasks or meet strategic goals.
Design Headaches
If you’ve spent time and money creating brand guidelines, everyone should use them. An artwork tool should complement your guidelines, allowing you to align teams and get the benefits of a strong, reliable brand.
With a DIY tool like Canva, the risk that someone will go off-brand is too big. It gives people the resources and confidence to design, but that doesn’t necessarily mean the end design will be right. Designer and marketing managers still need to approve and likely edit it to avoid mishaps. It means constant monitoring of your Canva account and users, which eats into capacity and causes your design department stress.
Stay on brand, always
