Hunting Season Flyers & Tshirts

This seems to be the season for Flyer orders around these parts!  Well flyers and magazine ads.  I’ve cranked out 5 magazine ads and 3 flyers in the past week not to mention the regular work-load. Thought I’d post one that is non-baby”ish” for those of you that think we only do baby here at iCreativeMedia.   Snows R Us is a local hunting club that specializes in Snow Goose Hunting.

Speaking of hunting, thanks for all of you that came out to the Whitetails Unlimited banquet at Great Boars of Fire this past month.  We will have our iCreativeMedia sponsor tshirts available for purchase soon.

Vanity URLs on Facebook Pages

Do you have a Facebook PAGE that you promote that has a URL that looks like this?  www.facebook.com/pages/iCreativeMedia/125468451265  How do you promote a link like that???  Not easily.

SO, to make your Facebook URL more “friendly” go to this link: www.facebook.com/username Be sure you do not set the main account which will be listed first.  You’ll want to select the second option about Pages.  Set a username for your Pages. Once you click on this link you will see a drop down box.  Choose your Page from the drop down and enter your desired username in the box. *Note that you must have at least 25 fans on your page to be able to do this! Click on “Check Availability” and if it’s available – set it!  You can only do it once for each page so make sure you get the name you want the first time.

Be sure to join us on Facebook at: www.facebook.com/iCreativeMedia

Sunny San Diego…here we come!

Last weekend we spent our time sledding in the snow that fell here in Missouri. This weekend we’ll be laying on the beach in sunny San Diego, CA. I personally prefer the sun although I know many love this freezing cold weather.  We’ll be staying in this dump of a hotel you see here on this post. 

While in San Diego this weekend, we’ll be meeting with one of our oldest and loyal customers, Linda Byerline of MLB Industries (she’s the one in the middle in this pic).  Many of you know Linda from the famous product that she invented, Happy Heinys cloth diapers.  We’re excited to finally meet after working together for the past 8 years. Funny how you can work for someone for such a long time and never see their face eh? The beauty of the internet!  I’ve watched Linda’s business grow over the years and am thrilled to see all of the media attention and demand for her products.

We will definitely be visiting the Baby Frenzy store in El Cajon, CA while there.  This natural baby store opened a little over a year ago and from what we hear, it’s been a huge hit in the San Diego suburb area.

So now to the vacation line… we will be out of the office on the 5th through the 8th for our completely business adventure out to California this weekend.    Yes we will be laying on the beach on Friday and Sunday but all business (well ok, not alllll, but some) Saturday.

Getting out of the rut…

From time to time we all get stuck in a rut, whether that be with our personal life or work.  I tend to find myself getting in design ruts that are hard to get out of.  What I’ve found to be my best relief from the “rut” is to just leave the office for an hour or so to re-group.  When time doesn’t permit that I try to dig up one of my old videos to listen to in the background of my work.  One person I turn to a lot for this is someone I quite admire, Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple.  The brilliant mind behind the MAC.  (I’ll refrain from telling everyone with Windows to revert to MACs right this instant if you know what’s best for you.)
