Finally! Selecting a name for our business proved to be, at the least challenging, and at most impossibly difficult! I went to an online site that recommended listing adverbs and adjectives that described what you do and started with that. Talked with my aunt Dawn, friends Lisa Factor and Linda Zinger and Michelle, all for advice and suggestions. Then combining what everyone suggested, we came up with Painters by Design. Got several strikingly beautiful graphics to choose from just by doing a "paint" search in Microsoft Publisher. Jug and I, and everyone else really liked this warm, inviting, vintage door frame. Well, this is the business card for now!
We've been so very encouraged by the reaction so far to our little painting business. Folks in the know about construction tell us that it is very hard to find good painters. Seems the really good ones stay so busy that it's nearly impossible to get them and the not so good ones--poor quality work or are unreliable, are available but no one really wants to hire them! We plan to be of the best quality--of course, and are optimistic we'll be very busy!!
We're planning to make the rounds today to all the real estate, construction, and insurance companies ....that sort of thing. Will be placing ads in local papers if we feel it necessary. Just kinda thinking we may have more work than can do just by word of mouth. Pays to know people! And Jug's good reputation doesn't hurt!!
We have a new email address for the business: paintersbydesign@hughes.net and I made a blog just for the business http://www.paintersbydesign.blogspot.com/ where we'll post photos of our work and testimonials from happy customers!! Nothing's there yet...but I'll keep you posted!!
Life is just good....
We're content
We're optimistic
We've energy to spare
Everything happens how it is supposed to,
when it's supposed to!
We see what we're meant to see,
when we're meant to see it!
Yeah, life is just good!!
