## Buyer Intent Signals
Problems: In-house design team: Hiring and managing an internal team of designers to handle all branding and graphic design needs. | Freelance graphic designer: Engaging independent designers for specific projects or ongoing smaller tasks, offering flexibility and potentially lower costs. | DIY design platforms (e.g., Canva, Adobe Express): Using user-friendly online tools with templates and drag-and-drop interfaces to create basic graphic designs without professional design expertise. | Rely on generic or outdated branding: Continuing to use existing branding or generic visual elements, potentially leading to a lack of differentiation or a dated brand image.
