Redundancy And Consistency

Consistency

After awhile of creating similar looking content, many will speak up and dub it redundant, that you should stop creating that content, that something needs to change in a major way.

Here’s my counter riff:

  • Some people are likely seeing the content for the first time, so it’s not redundant to them.
  • People inherently respond positively to what feels familiar. (Don’t believe me? Read this)
  • The consistency creates a shorthand for people to recognize the brand behind a product or service.

You can keep your creative congruous and improve it at the same time. That’s why it’s smart to measure, A/B test and stretch the work that you put out into the world.

But a surefire way to start from ground zero is to call something redundant and actually start from ground zero again.
