We focus on marketing for very small businesses.
We are very pleased to announce that, after many years of work and months of study, Kim met all the requirements and passed the final exam that entitled him to proudly display the BASI emblem.
There are thousands and thousands of businesses across the US that provide promotional items but only just over 1200 have earned this accreditation.
Congratulations, Kim! We’re proud of you.
You know they do. You know you do.
You may not consult Google to decide which burger joint to visit for lunch. But you likely do look it up on your mobile device to see if they are open and what hours they keep.
You may not spend hours shopping online but I bet you pull up a site to see if a company carries a particular type of item.
And, when was the last time you phoned a shop for directions? 1999? Okay, maybe more recently but definitely not in the last few years. We go to a website.
Big, fancy, websites are grand. And hugely important for the Amazons and Ebays of the world. But most small businesses don’t need to break the bank for a website.
A very small business can start nicely with a simple, clean website that gives ‘just the facts’. At the beginning, just consider it a very important, well-placed billboard. And it doesn’t have to cost near what a very important, well-placed billboard would cost.
You (or your website mechanic) can add to the site as you want and need!
In the 19th century, as the bottom part wore out, frugal individuals would cut through the one piece “union” suit with the top long enough to tuck into pants. Since this was a great idea for staying dressed but comfortable in the heat, the idea apparently hailed from the Southeast. This is the home of many, many great ideas (except for the Civil War). More on that later.
Tees are most often made of cotton that has been knitted in a jersey stitch and have an amazingly soft feel. The best ones (you know the ones I mean) get softer and more comfortable with every washing. Remind me to show you a picture of an over-sized tee that I have been sleeping in, off and on, for twenty years. And, yes, it is threadbare. But, oh so comfy.
What we promise you is that we won’t sell you a tee that we wouldn’t wear, over and over and over.
