High School, the good and the bad



Do you remember when you were in high school? The energy, the friends, the great teachers, and  the ones we just tolerated?

I know not everyone loved their high school experience, but we all lived through it and hopefully came out better on the other side.

It's great to think back to those days to our high school mascots and how we would wear them on everything.

Today we take that into our daily life with our favorite sports teams and wear their colors and logos.

If you have a favorite high school, shout it out and what their mascot is!
We'd love to hear about it!

Here at Ink It Up Designs we are out to help schools the first quarter of 2013 with fundraising campaigns for their art, music, computer,  and sports departments.  

We would love introductions to those people where we can help make a difference.  We set up the entire fundraiser for the school, so it's easy on everyone!

2013 is almost upon us, let's go out and make a difference!

Are you game?



I have always thought in years past, many of them working in my Frame Shop, and the Christmas season being absolutely crazy busy, that January was the time for setting goals.  You know those "New Year's Resolutions" that usually last about three weeks!

But really what better time then now to set your business and personal goals for 2013. 

I have been thinking of where my "download" spot could be, just for new ideas to populate and expand--what possibilities there could be if I use more of my intuition and brainpower!  Just think, it is so exciting to imagine what could be!

So for the next two weeks, I am setting up 2013's marketing plan!  And I challenge you to do the same.  Let's see how many we can get to jump on board with us and accept the challenge.

Think of business goals for sales, customer retention, customer acquisition, setting up a loyalty program, rewarding employees, building up the average sale, or how many times a client comes to you during the year.

Let's put on our thinking caps, find us a great "download" spot for some quiet introspection and make 2013 much more profitable than 2012!

Are you game?
