Here we are, celebrating Easter again with many distinguish features. Maybe the most popular among them are Easter eggs, which are beautifully decorated. The origin of Easter egg is not determined precisely, but there are several assumptions:

• Persians used to paint eggs as a part of their New Year celebrations which was on the Spring Equinox. This tradition of painting these eggs is said to have continued and now these eggs are known as Easter eggs.
• The egg is considered to be a symbol of new life. The tradition of Easter eggs probably started at the end of the deprivations of Lent.
• In the medieval times these eggs were forbidden during Lent. After the strict fasting days, the consumption of eggs was resumed and this was the time of Easter. This is the time eggs became an integral part of Easter meals. (more…)

Business cards still can help you break the ice when you’re talking to other people about your business, but you might be surprised to find that your business card actually says a lot about you before any real words have been spoken. Even if you end up giving a full presentation before you even pass out business cards, there will still be messages that your business cards send to anyone who picks up your card. You will need to make sure that your business cards definitely don’t say the wrong things — that could end up costing you a lot of money, as it were. You definitely want to ensure that if you’re really going to take the time and money to print quality business cards, you ensure that they are truly sending the message that you intend. (more…)

Flyers. If there’s one thing that people think that isn’t effective in today’s marketing and advertising landscapes, it’s definitely flyers. People assume that flyers aren’t effective because we’re a digital society now, with everyone focusing on cell phones and other types of mobile technology. We have laptops everywhere and there are more businesses now with free Wi-Fi than ever before. Still, none of that really takes away from the power of flyers. (more…)

Event planning can be stressful, and there’s definitely a reason why some freelance markets charge more for campaign planning for a specific event that needs to go perfectly — it’s a lot of work! However, when you have to make things happen in your small business, you don’t always have time to contract the “big guns” — you need to make it happen on your own. That can be scary, especially for businesses just getting started. However, it’s definitely a good thing, as it teaches valuable skills. All you really have to do is think about what you want to do most: create an impact and cause people to choose your event over others.

When you really want to sneak in and get under people’s natural objections, a series of postcards is actually the best way to go. Now, we say “series of postcards” because you don’t want to just send one. You want to make sure that you really send a whole range of postcards because people might not get the first one, or they need a little more information. (more…)

If you’re looking around for someone to help you create your next site, the truth is that you’ll actually have a long way to go. It’s tempting to simply assume that all website designers are equal, but that’s far from the truth. In fact, if you really want to get the best job on your work, you’re going to have to assume that not every website design firm is operating on the same level, and you will need to act accordingly.

When it’s time to choose your project, you will need to first sit down and really make a list of what you’re looking for. After all, even when you do find a competent designer, having a strong vision of what you want your site to look like is definitely a big thing. Now, some people argue that website design doesn’t be taken that seriously, but they are incorrect. A website’s design forms the height of branding in the minds of everyone that sees the site. In other words, the way your site looks leaves a lasting impression on the person that’s looking at it. Now, you can go with a template or something like that, but why would you want your site to look like everyone else’s. The nice part about going with a quality website design team is that you will not only have a great design, but a flexible one that can accommodate changes. This means that even if you wanted to make a few customizations over time, you wouldn’t have to tear the entire design apart just to do that. In addition, if you needed to add in dynamic updates, you wouldn’t have to lose the design that you paid for with heard earned money. (more…)
