Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Jared Vinson. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Hi Jared, thanks for joining us today. What do you think it takes to be successful?
Personally, I believe that becoming successful is based on a few things. In order to become successful in todays times it’s important to Work hard, Remain teachable and Put yourself out there! A lot of people get caught up on who doesn’t support them whether it’s friends, family or their community and don’t spend enough time focusing on the people who do want to support their business.
My view point on success really developed by networking with people in other states/countries and seeing the benefits to my business. As well as just seeing the growth of my own business when I put in the extra effort.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
In 2017 I was doing night club promotion and was seeing how much I was spending on flyers & logo designs as well as having to wait so long for them to be completed. That’s when I saw an area of opportunity in the Graphic Design industry I knew that I was creative and that my turn around time could really set my business apart from the rest. What started as a hobby while I worked a 40hr a week job has since turned into a very lucrative company which has provided me the opportunity to design full time and create my own schedule and pay scale.
The Graphic Plug LLC takes great pride in addressing areas of opportunity for our customers when it comes to their marketing. When you hire us as your graphic designer and/or marketing strategist you’re doing so because of our level of skill, attention to detail, our customer service and our unbeatable turn around time!
One thing that sets us apart is our turn around time. Not many businesses are able to turn a design around the same day let alone a hour. However, We DO provide those turn around times because as a small business we understand that time is of the essence and deadlines need to be met.
The thing I am most proud of is what I have been able to grow this business to with the support of our customers, friend and family. Due to the growth of The Graphic Plug LLC my wife is able focus on raising our young son and work along side me on a part time schedule. We take pride in being a family oriented and family run business I believe Covid taught us just how important that aspect truly is.
How’d you build such a strong reputation within your market?
I believe that what attributed to my reputation within the market is the large amount of services I offer along with the turn around time provided. For example, Currently we are turning around Logo designs, Flyer designs, Business cards, Acuity Booking sites, Banners and much more within 24hrs or less! And currently we are turn around Website developments within 1-3 weeks where as others in the industry are taking 8-12 weeks to turn them around. This dedication to a quick turn around has landed us some major clients and great contracts!
How about pivoting – can you share the story of a time you’ve had to pivot?
The biggest pivot I had to make in life and business was going from doing graphics on the side to taking the leap of faith to making this a full time career. This time last year I had 5 years invested at a very large company with plenty of growth opportunities and benefits. But, It wasn’t my passion and I decided to take the step to go full time with Graphic Design. It was a scary decision, My family was nervous about what was going to happen not having a guaranteed 40hr paycheck but I knew it would be worth it. Fast forward a year and my business is thriving. I am providing services for hundreds of customers world wide!
