pinterest

About 8 months ago Pinterest had no meaning to me. In fact, the first time I saw the word (on a Facebook status of course) I thought it was stupid. I figured it was just ONE MORE THING to connect your Facebook or Twitter account to and show everyone what you are doing. Well… I quickly apologized silently for robbing myself of such a magnificent social network. Once I discovered the vast world of visual D.I.Y.’s, yummy recipes and beautiful photographs, I quickly requested an invitation. In a matter of hours I was all set up and pinning like crazy. At first I thought it was something fun and time consuming that also offered great ideas for crafts and home stuff. But then one day recently a picture of a D.I.Y. craft I pinned from my own personal blog got picked up by the right person and had a bit of a viral spike. My page views went from 30 to 1,410 in one day. Needless to say, I was nauseous with excitement. Over the past several weeks I have gained popularity among Pinterest users and now receive at least 10 followers a day to my [...]

Y U No Like My Order?

y-u-no-like

First off, we love every order! But from time to time we receive orders, that with a little tweaking, could be made just that little bit more awesome.

We take pride in the products we produce and want you to love them too. So, if after placing an order, you receive an email from one of our fantastic customer support reps asking you to contact us, don’t panic. It’s just our way of saying “hey thanks for your order, we would like to help you make it even more awesome!”

Why do you need to speak with me about my order?

There are a number of reasons that we may need to get in touch with you regarding your order.

Perhaps the artwork you uploaded isn’t a high enough resolution to print clearly (we don’t want to print your product and have you ending up with a fuzzy looking image). Or maybe your order has graphics or text that has been placed off of the art-board (we don’t want your sign to be missing half the text or showing only part of an image).

Will this delay my order?

Unfortunately, these types of issues may end up delaying your order by a couple of [...]

Bad Signs vs Good Signs (Part 3)

Be Authentic.

Doesn’t sound to difficult right? Well in an ideal world, authenticity and originality would be easy things to achieve.

Engrossed in an article a few minutes ago about a man who was fined and imprisoned for forging vintage horror film posters, I started thinking about how important it is to live our lives with authenticity. What we put out there for all to see is a form of marketing, whether you are intentionally marketing yourself or not. Are you being yourself, or are you copying someone or something else to get people to look at you? Either way, you will get attention. It’s the KIND of attention that defines the outcome.

I’m a D.I.Y. and fashion kind of gal. Yesterday I was perusing through several of the blogs that I recently have started to follow, and it dawned on me that so many of them were not original at all. Fonts were the same, post content had the same theme, and picture after picture of the same kinds of outfits and poses riddled the pages.

Common! Let’s come up with something fresh! Let me be the first to admit that authenticity and originality are difficult, and that I am no master [...]

This History of Advertising in America

“Advertising ministers to the spiritual side of trade. It is a great power that has been intrusted to your keeping which charges you with the high responsibility of inspiring and ennobling the commercial world. It is all part of the greater work of regeneration and redemption of mankind.” 

- President Calvin Coolidge, 1926 Speech

That’s a pretty hefty calling made by President Coolidge. Has the advertising men and women of today held to that great responsibility? I think that question holds much more complication than we could ever answer. Advertising in this day and age is such a gigantic entity that to discuss the ethics of it would take days. But the advertising world was not always so huge.

During colonial times, most advertisements involved verbal announcements of the goods that businesses had in stock. Small advertisements that were very cut and dry appeared in newsletters as well. It’s also important to remember that back then, you didn’t have 10 of the same kind of shops on one street. Most people knew of the one or MAYBE two places to buy their toiletries and dried goods. Advertisements during this time were not always about goods and services though. Sadly, many of the advertisements [...]
