ABC’s of Fine Design

Customization is a big thing for businesses, custom pens, stationary and other items are one of the best ways to get word out about your business. This is no different when you have an interior design business. If your just starting giving out items with your name on it will make people recognize you later on. They will think back and go, “oh I remember getting something from them once. When it comes to interior design I would recommend putting your name on something that can be used to decorate a home such as a pot or picture frame. It doesn’t have to be big and bold but something that someone who comes in can take with them and put in there home. Of course you need to make sure it reflects the type of business you do. If your a kitchen designer you could use a decorate plate or spoon.

Yesterday I talked about cheep electricity and making money from this cheep energy on one of my other blogs. I wanted to share with you how you can benefit as a homeowner from this type of program. The program is run by stream energy they work with different energy companies to get you the best rate possible. They are regulated by the department of energy and they offer a month by month program where you can leave at anytime. I like this part of the deal as you know there is nothing to lose and you can try it out without the worry of a contract.

Another program they offer that works with the cheep energy program is a green and clean plan that will give you energy from renewable sources. In this way you can help keep the environment clean and have energy for your home. I hope to see more programs like this from other companies soon.

I believe this is a great way to  get cheap electricity and to help you save money that can be used for other things, like bills, additions and new furniture or energy saving appliances. If you can get these appliances and use the renewable energy that stream energy provides just think of how much you are doing to help save our earth and save yourself some money.

Right now many people are concerned with gas prices so they are going to smaller cars and trying to get the best gas mileage they can they also look for other ways to save money like comparing online auto insurance to get the best deal. I’m all for that, but at the same time you have to look at what is best for your business.

Most of the time a designer wants a good size car or even a truck. You want something you can put all of the pots, plans and accessories you need to do your job in. Normally these are gas hogs, but now many dealers have come out with hybrid trucks and SUV’s so if your a soon to be designer or even just want to start a decorating business I would look into one of these cars if you can afford it. Not only is it good for the environment some of your clients or potential clients may like it too.

If your just starting your own interior design business you want to make sure your logo is perfect. In class I spend hours working on one to use for my school project. It was fun and I love to use it but it won’t help me with getting the word out about my blog, my business.

Recently I tried a new website that provides logo design for you. You make it and they can put it on almost anything. It’s very easy to use and is also a lot of fun. I use business cards to promote my blogs and this is a great way to do it. LogoYes.com has a huge selection of logos and they change out there graphics every day or so that way someone else will not have the same or similar logo as you do. I’m planning on ordering a set of these just to check them out.

Having a good interior design business means getting the word out about it. You can put your logo on anything, mouse pads, business cards, mugs and hand them out to potential customers. It’s something to think about.

A huge trend right now is to go into business for yourself. When you do this you need to think about not just your logo but your business interior design as well. You want it functional, good looking and you want it to show what your business is all about. As a designer it is my job to figure out what would make all of this work. I look at things like what you have on your imprinted promotional products such as paper, pens and so on. Do you have a symbol you use regularly. If so I may design a rug that will go in your reception area or have it imprinted on the counter top of your register.

There are many ways to get ideas for design in your home and business. If you take a look around you and find things that are either used a lot or are something you like, you can see if you can use them in your design.
