Do I Have "Blackberry Thumb?".

You have heard or maybe even suffered from tennis elbow, runners knee, or dancers hip, but now there is a new aliment affecting business techies known as... "Blackberry Thumb" aka "iPhone Tendonitis".

What causes this new phenomenon?
It comes from excessive use of email and texting on the tiny keyboard of your blackberry/iPhone every waking hour. You Twitter, Facebook, Google, text, email, gps your next location, use your calendar, My Space, enter new contacts and calculate all to free you from hours in front of your computer! You enjoy your freedom…. But now your symptoms are affecting your efficiency.

Your symptoms will include pain when punching keys, swollen joints, and achy tendons.

The Cure:
Patience is needed as you will need time to heal.
Rest - do sit at your computer to do some of the work you were doing on your Blackberry/iPhone.
Ice- yes, good ole ice helps reduce swelling.
Elevation- when you experience pain, keep your injury elevated to reduce swelling.
Exercise- get a stress ball and use this as a form of exercise for your weak thumbs. In a matter of time, your thumbs will be back to normal!

Thank you Kalamazoo Small Business Design Solutions

I wasn't happy with the image I was portraying with my marketing materials. I help clients all the time "brand" their business and help them determine what is a good fit. Well, I knew that my logo wasn't a good fit. So I contacted Small Business Design Solutions of Kalamazoo and had an initial meeting with her telling her what I was looking for. After listening to my needs, she came up with a great logo for my new image.

It's amazing how excited a business owner can get by just re-inventing a small aspect of their business. But remember, your image is EVERYTHING.

Using Yard Signs for your Business

Who Should: When you think of yard signs, you think of real estate signs, political signs and home improvement signs. Be unique, could your business create a yard sign campaign?

What Should My Sign Say: Avoid too many words, small fonts, and fancy fonts that are not readable from a distance. Your sign should say “what you do” versus “who you are”

When Should I use Yard Signs: If your signs are in a neighborhood where there are a lot of walkers, then spring – fall is great. If your business takes you to peoples’ homes, then pop it in their yard (with permission) while you are there working.

Why Should I Use Yard Signs: To enhance that name recognition and to market your business.

How Should I use Yard Signs: When working at someone’s home you can use a yard sign. Other businesses can ask their dedicated customers to place a sign in their yard for 2 weeks and you could go pick it up/they could return it for a discount coupon or a special coupon.
