Building a Successful Brand with Print Advertising
“Can you pass me a Kleenex?”
“Did you Swiffer the floors?”
“Can you Mapquest the nearest post office?”
“I need some Starbucks.”
What do the above sentences all have in common? They prove the effectiveness of branding. Each one of them swaps the name of a corporate creation for the name of a good or service: tissues, mops, driving directions and coffee.

With both parents working in many American households, the demand for quality childcare extremely high. Whether you’re babysitting independently for multiple families, working in a large-scale childcare facility, or have another type of involvement in the field of childcare, there is no reason that networking can’t benefit ...
Silk Cards Are Slick Cards
Many times, when a business is just getting up and running, it can seem like the most important thing is to get stuff done and out there. Details, like securing the highest quality, most impressive business cards, like silk laminated business cards, for example, can really fall to the wayside when you’ve got more pressing concerns at hand, and it can seem like just having something printed at all will be good enough.
But once you’ve got your storefront (or your virtual storefront) in place and you’ve nailed ...

Cinco de Mayo Marketing Ideas
Most Americans don’t really know what Cinco de Mayo is about, and that’s okay, from a marketing perspective. The holiday actually has very little connection to cracking beers open, and instead is in celebration of the 1862 Battle of Puebla, during which a motley group of rogue Mexican military men defeated the French Army when the French attempted to infiltrate their territory. No one would have expected the small underdog militia to defeat the invaders, and so at the time, it was a great cause for celebration ...

Think Before You Print
Is a picture worth a thousand words? Maybe. But by the same token, the right words are without a doubt worth a thousand pictures. The words you use to represent your business on your company’s flyers, website, posters, business cards, menus, brochures, Facebook page, etc. are crucial in crafting your company image. With those words, you are telling your customers and potential customers how they should perceive you. So if you’re feeling a lot of pressure to get it right, you should.

Spring Your Business into Action
The spring season is known as a time for new beginnings. When the crocuses are blooming, the streams begin flowing again, and sleepy animals come out of hiding in search of the season’s first fruits and sprigs, the world feels fresh and blank, like an artist’s canvas before the first drop of paint hits it.

The winter months bring a slow to everything, ...
