What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?
Without a doubt the most rewarding part of helping other businesses is allowing them to create their personal/business style. Allowing them to really express themselves artistically to their own audience. Many businesses come to us with a half put together website asking for help. When asked why they picked the current template, 9/10 times our clients say, they thought it was the easiest one to use. We have all businesses fill out our design questionnaire and it’s astonishing the number of our clients whose current marketing is not a reflection of their own creativity or vision for their business. We love helping these clients LOVE their logos and websites we create them.
Any fun sales or marketing stories?
We work with a lot of Doulas, they are some of the sweetest, compassionate people you will ever meet. Most come to me through word of mouth from other doulas. They are embarking on a new job and most times come to me overwhelmed and not sure where to start.
My first doula I worked with came to me unsure of marketing her business. She is an extremely talented NICU nurse looking to change up her career. I knew what a birth doula, but she was the first to tell me about postpartum doulas. It was rocky at the start, she was passionate about babies and caring for the mother, but totally unsure of anything pertaining to marketing. Typically one would just assume that a “baby website” would be a piece of cake to create, pastel colors, sweet baby photos etc.
However this particular doula didn’t want to have a cookie cutter website, she wanted one a true reflection of herself and give her clients a glimpse into who she is from just spending a few minutes on her website. She specifically requested a Rosie the Riveter style website…for babies. This is where my love for working with doulas and creating something specifically for each doula was born. All my websites are a reflection of the person/business. I want their websites to tell their story through photos, design and content. I have made a number of doula websites and each one totally different from the last.
