"Branding Ecstasy"

Seven months in the making, our pet project/experiment with dear friends and client Gino and Aimee Sierra is finally getting some attention. See the article below for the awesome details.

We couldn’t help but “want in” when Gino shared the idea of his epic concept “The MadHouse Sandwich Shop”. This was going to be “Branding Ecstasy” for me, and I could not wait to get the right side of my brain rolling on it.

We concluded the objective and challenge was to be edgy, cultish, disturbing, revolting and eclectic while maintaining a trend setting look and feel that was fun and entertaining.
Is it possible to be absurd and delicious at the same time? The logo’s Icon, Dr. Revolto was right up my alley “Character Development”. When the preliminary designs were unveiled you could hear the crowds roar, it was over the fence, out of the park and hence a brand was born.

Great brand design should come from the ground up. Dig very deep to find the objectives and support it with a thorough creative brief. Soak in it till your full and let the juices flow. Anyone can design a logo; it takes an experienced, skilled professional to create a timeless, sustaining brand.

The scope of the project consists of a Corporate Identity Package with applications to interiors, signage, social media, web, and marketing material. Now we are introducing their new apparel designs at www.madhousegear.com, we think you’ll love it.

Follow them on Facebook for daily specials or download a $2.00 off coupon from the website www.madhousesandwichshop.com.
Hope you enjoy and remember, “Be in a complete state of design”!!

How to Sync Outlook between multiple computers

      By: jonah wolf
  

1. Step 1 First, lets set up a free dropbox account. Sign up at https://www.getdropbox.com/referrals/NTEzMDM0NDk5 for a free 2GB account with a 256MB Bonus.
   
   
2. Step 2 Install the software on the Primary computer (perhaps your desktop), the computer whose outlook you'd like to sync to your secondary computer (perhaps your laptop).
   To install, click on the install link from within your dropbox page.
   
   
3. Step 3 Once you have the software installed, we will move the Outlook Personal Folder File to our dropbox directory created in the prior step.
   If you are unsure of the name and location of your Personal Folder File (PST), go to control panel, mail, file locations and note the location for the default personal folders.
   Insure that Outlook is closed, then cut and paste the file to the dropbox directory.
   
   
4. Step 4 In control panel, mail, file locations, change the location to your dropbox folder that you copied the PST to in the prior step.
   
   
5. Step 5 Launch Outlook to insure that Outlook has connected to the new location of your PST.
   
   
6. Step 6 Close out of Outlook for the file to sync to your dropbox.
   
   
7. Step 7 On the secondary computer, lets say your laptop, go to your dropbox account with your internet browser and select install to Install the software.
   
   
8. Step 8 Now that you have the software installed on both computers, on the secondary computer go to Control panel, mail, file locations and change the location of the default personal folders to the file in your dropbox.
   Note, depending on the size of your personal folders file, you may need to wait additional time for the file to sync from the primary computer.
   
   
9. Step 9 Once the file is synced, insure outlook is closed on the primary computer and launch outlook on the secondary computer.
   You should now see the data from the primary computer
   
   
10. Step 10 You can now make edits to your secondary which will sync upon exiting outlook. Be sure to have outlook open on only one machine at a time to support this syncing process
11. Step 11 In addition to your outlook data, you can place additional files on either computer to sync to the other computer and a safe offsite location (on dropboxes servers.)
    
    Enjoy

Web Site Marketing

blogging

Picking The Best Free Blogging Site

Choosing a free blogging site can feel overwhelming
because there are so many options. There are several
large free blog-hosting sites that dominate the
blogosphere, but there are also smaller sites. Whether
you decide to join up with an established site like
blogger or whether you choose to sign on with a
relatively new venture depends on what your priorities
are.

Reliability is perhaps the best reason to opt for a large
and well known free blogging site. When you choose to
have an established brand host your blog, you can feel
secure that your blog will not crash often and will not
disappear in the middle of the night. A company that
has been around for a while is likely to have the
resources to make sure that its clients aren't
unpleasantly surprised by any technical glitches.
However, many bloggers decide that this isn't enough
of a selling point. The bloggers who choose to go with
smaller, newer blog hosting sites do so for a variety of
reasons, but perhaps the number one advantage is a
fairly abstract one. Bloggers tend to relish the fact that
the internet is a place where the underdog has a strong
chance of success, and by choosing to have a small
company as a blog host, a blogger is casting his or her
vote for David against Goliath.

What to know when putting together a classified

When you are planning out your classified ad. Most people are not sure how or what to do.

A very basic acronym to use is A I D A.

A - attention, you want to get the attention of the reader
I - interest, your ad should pique the interest of the reader
D - desire, why does the reader need to have your product or service
A - action, what does the reader need to do to get it

When putting your ad together, this basic tip should get you started on the right track.

The Grass Root Program

The objective behind this program is to create and maintain a strong presence in the internet community.

Thousands upon thousands of SEO companies have turned up over the last few years, offering all types of high tech and top secret solutions to the mysteries of the internet. How to promote your business? The term optimize has been tagged for almost every aspect of your business and you are being charged at a premium. Although the terminology may sound alien to you, but the answer is simple. You still have to start with the basics.    

We provide grass roots community involvement. This basic core marketing strategy has been a foundation for the success of a company in a local community for generations. This same strategy stands true for the internet community. Although the size of the community of today is vastly larger, your success in the internet community is obtainable using these same grass roots strategies.

How does this work?

Using this basic example will help you understand our grass roots program.

If you opened a business in a town and you were new to the area. No one knew you.

How will you build your business?

You need to get known in the community. Sure, you can place an ad in the local phone book or put up a sign. These will all drive some traffic, but this doesn’t give you status in the community. You need the local papers to do stories about you and your company. You want to join the local chamber and get involved in networking groups. Sit at the local coffee house and talk to people. Attend town hall meetings and contribute input of your knowledge and experience in ways that will help.

Getting your name recognized and building a reputation in your local community is the same as with an online community. But, instead of waiting for the local newspaper to do a write up about your business, you have articles written about different aspects of your business and what you offer. We submit them all over the web, to targeted outlets. Putting this information out there gives people an introduction to your business and all that you have that is valuable as a service or a product. The combination of the continuous posting of fresh original content with effective links back to your site (basically, a free ride to your business in the town), this gives you more visibility back to your site.

This is a way of getting known in the community. You need to get your name out their. You have to build credibility for you and your company.

For the internet community, this is done through the use of general article directories and niche article directory posting, Blog site involvement. Forum and community help sites. These are all basic strategies that like in small town marketing your business must be an ongoing process. True success does not come from just a one time shot. If you don’t stay involved in the community, you and your company will slowly fade. And that gives the competition a chance to move in.

Keep It Simple For Logo Design

Keep It Simple For Logo Design
by Ann Christopher

Many new companies have the overwhelming task of trying to develop their own business logo from scratch and most business owners take it upon themselves to create something unique. The main problem is many business owners think that in order to make their logo unique that it must be complicated not realize that this can create problems for them down the line.

Complicated logo designs usually set them selves up to be easily altered for use by a competitor. In many cases where this action is the legal issue, it have been determined that the copied logo is different enough to be considered an original design and further confuse customers and frustrate your attempts to stand out in the crowd. This is an easy attempt by a new competitor misrepresenting themselves to profit off of your hard work.

Your logo creation should not only be simple but uniquely simple in color and shape design. Don't give in to the urge to use a rainbow of colors. This is one of the components that design stealers alter to confuse customers with their version of your logo to represent them. All it takes is a little change to create big confusion.

Promotional items just look better with your logo on it. This impressive image creates a mental connection to your business when seen on letter heads, bags and other advertising items. Hiring a artist to create your logo might put your budget in danger as well as not getting the artistic results you had hoped for. All legitimate promotional product companies have a staff of highly capable artists that can present some amazing accurate design results. This is an extra service that is offered for a fee, but could easily be the design efforts you have been searching for while staying affordable.

Two or more minds are better than one in logo design. The art department of most any promotional product company will make your design a top priority and deliver the perfect logo that will accent all your promotional items and company image. This is often a very good avenue to achieve fast effective logo and branding results for business owners struggling to overcome their logo design issues and get on with promoting their business with proven effective promotional tools.

Promotional mousemats are a wonderful way to get business exposure. Printed mouse mats make a business appear more professional.
