Nautical branding is a great way to use imagery to align any product with the positive connotations associated with the ocean, such as purity and of cleansing, as seen in the marketing of fish shops and otherwise. Additionally, images of sailing, the beach and of general ocean frolicking provide a relaxing means of marketing a product as a summertime accessory.
While nautical fashions continually make appearances in mainstream and luxury fashions, maritime themes can go a long way for seafood restaurants, brands and fresh fish purveyors looking to align their product with ideas around freshness. Rustic-inspired packaging that replicates the old-fashioned wrapping when one purchases fish from an fresh farmer's market. This falls in line with the consumer desire for sustainably produced food that is as local as possible.
