Ignite Your Experience

The Challenge

Before partnering with Digitize Media Corp, Blaze Up Vape and Smoke Shop needed a strong and cohesive brand identity along with a modern digital presence to stand out in Edmonton’s competitive vape and smoke retail market. While offering a wide range of products, the business lacked a unified visual identity and a professional website that reflected its energy, product variety, and customer-focused approach.
Without a clearly defined brand and optimized online platform, the company faced several challenges that limited its growth and visibility:
  • Outdated / Inconsistent Brand Identity: Blaze Up required a bold, memorable logo and cohesive visual branding to create a recognizable and professional presence in a highly competitive retail space.
  • No Modern Website Platform: The absence of a professionally designed website limited the shop’s ability to showcase its product range, store information, and promotions effectively.
  • Weak Online Presence: Without a structured digital strategy and optimized web presence, the business had limited visibility in local search results, reducing discoverability among potential customers in Edmonton.
  • Unclear Brand Positioning: The brand needed clearer messaging and visual direction to communicate its unique identity, product quality, and customer experience.
  • Mobile Optimization Needs: With a large percentage of customers searching for vape shops on mobile devices, a fully responsive and user-friendly website was essential to improve accessibility and engagement.
These challenges highlighted the need for a complete branding refresh and a strategically developed website to position Blaze Up Vape and Smoke Shop as a modern, trusted, and visually impactful retail brand in the local market.
