When you "brand" yourself you are more easily recognized. Taking the look of your website and tying it together with your other promotional materials gives you a more cohesive, professional apperance. Together we can create business cards, letterhead, brochures and gift certificates just to name a few. The possibilities are only limited by your imagination. In the example at right we've incorporated Bill Kent's own artwork into his business cards. We also created a coordinating gift certificate. This same artwork is used as the header on his massage website. _________________________________   Sending periodic email newsletters and/or marketing campaigns is an easy way to keep your contacts informed of your latest and greatest news. I like to use an online program called "MailChimp". It's fairly user friendly and the best part - it's very affordable. Actually it's absolutely free to use as long as you have 2,000 or less subscribers and send less than 12,000 emails per month. Your email campaigns can be setup to be archived and viewed from your website at the click of a button. I can also create a subscriber link on your website allowing visitors to sign up for your newsletters. For those of you with the know how, you can tackle building your campaigns completely on your own. Otherwise I can set you up, create a template for your use, provide you with some basic instruction and set you free! The example shows a couple of Peter X O'Brien's newsletters that we have sent out to inform his clients/potential customers of upcoming shows and news about his latest projects.
