Marketing Packets

So I finished my marketing packets today. I've made little packets that include my business card, a Print Quality Sample (a postcard that I had printed from the print company I use to show the quality of paper/print), a sheet introducing myself along with some reviews from several customers, and the last sheet gives pricing for the most popular business printing needs.























I'm hoping to pass these out to several companies, and hopefully they'll see how much they could save on printing, while getting custom design for not much more than what they're paying just for print. It's amazing what some people will pay for sucky print service, while at the same time not being interested in looking at other options. A lot of times, it falls on convenience, its just convenient to take their needs down to the local print shop. But I'm hoping to open some eyes with these packets.

If you know anyone who you think may be interested or who may benefit from better quality printing/design, tell them to check out www.coxdesign.webs.com.

Great Deal on Business Cards

Trying to get a business off the ground. Got a great deal going on for two weeks- can't beat it for the quality!! Spread the word if you know anyone interested. What I do is custom design business cards to the business or individual. I can make it as crazy modern or traditional and professional as desired. Then I send them to print where the cards are printed on high UV gloss stock paper which is the highest professional gloss you can receive. I don't print them myself; I use a non-local company that prints mass production all over the world so they're able to give extremely low prices when it comes to printing. Then they ship them directly to me; everything including complete custom design, print, and shipping can be done in less than 2 weeks. Offer ends July 15th. www.coxdesign.webs.com

Bunch of Stuff

Chris and Nikki are buying them a boat. Might go out on it this weekend. I really wanted to go to Atlanta to see my family, but the pile of crap that's been adding up to my plate this week seems to be preventing that. Weekends need to be longer as well; especially for those who have Sunday duties. I found out a couple weeks ago that Jordan, my step-brother had to start going to school on Saturdays as make-up snow days. Like who invented that rule?? That's the craziest thing I had ever heard in my life. School on Saturday?? That's called "the weekend," the "resting time." That's just stupid. Anyway...

I'm really tired today. I'm glad today is Friday. Got some more business this week, so that's good. I did a logo and a business card for a construction and grading company in Greenville. And I'm working with an elementary school in Greenville on some different print projects. And came up with a logo for a new ministry Shawn is wanting to start. Don't know what I think about the ministry, kinda emotional about it, but I'm along for the ride I assume. So those were the highlights of my crazy week. If you haven't seen my website I made, check it out at www.coxdesign.webs.com. It shows a lot of my work, templates I make and sell, and a blog. It's not a spectacular website, but atleast it shows my work and gets me business.

Well...maybe the weekend will bring better days than this week...

Potty Training and Jobs

So we keep attempting to start the whole potty training thing. We have come to the conclusion that it takes more dedication from the parent than it does the child. But Caitlyn is so smart; I think if we could just dedicate one week to it, she'd be trained. Because she already knows the concept of the potty, let's us know when she's already gone potty in her pants, go figure, and she doesn't like to be in a dirty or wet diaper. So maybe sometime soon, we'll be trained : )

I've gotten several calls in the last few weeks acquiring about some design work, one of which is a photography studio who needed a logo, in which I just completed. I met with the owner last night to find out she does all the photography for the county high school including boosters, sports, seniors, etc, amongst other schools as well, I believe. I'm also about to do several business cards for her as well as brochures and business forms. I also just got a call from a design studio in Hartwell wanting me to come on part-time doing some work there, that I can do from home. This is all very nice considering I want some extra money to go cruise shopping. Speaking of which, two and a half more weeks till we cruise off. Yay!!

This morning, a radio show I was listening to was talking about the swine flu, and this woman called in talking about how she was about to visit Disney World and the Bahamas and she was freaking out because of the swine flu thing. I was very confused as to how Mexico and the Bahamas was related...until she spoke up and said, "I'm not sure where the Bahamas is down there but I'm gonna get on google and figure out where it is in proximity to Mexico." That just gave me a little laugh; I figured she didn't know what she was talking about. Another woman called, guess she's a nurse or works in some kind of medical field; she agreed with the talk show host that people are making too much of a big deal about the swine flu. She said there's several confirmed cases, but if you look at "some m word" (some condition she mentioned), she said over 90,000 people have died from it, and no one made a big deal about that. So she said, the media is just making too big a deal out of this. I hope she's right. I got my hand sanitizer in my purse : P
