need to coordinate your coast-to-coast cycling mission. Oh, and by the
way she flew up here to ride a day of RAGBRAI and mingle with some of
the Iowa<br /> teams she designed custom jerseys for - and survived it! Her background<br /> goes beyond cycling to designing for many sports, industries, non-profits,<br /> etc. so I am confident she can do a spectacular job in serving your group<br /> (Mariellen does that set the bar high enough?)."</span></span></i> <br />

After months of doing it on his own, the owner realized that we could help source and complete the order while he worked at his full-time job.<br />

We also designed a custom hang tag and thought of all the bells and whistles needed to create the socks and hang tags. We were able to turn this order around shortly for an upcoming race as well. <br />

We have always assisted our clients with apparel design, production, manufacturing and now DISTRIBUTION AND FULFILLMENT services.<br />
Why worry about selling your goods and apparel out of your garage or basement? Do you really have the time to track, pack and drop ship the goods for all your orders? What will happen when you land that big order and you can't do it all by yourself? <br />
Many small companies start out this way, but creating their goods or apparel on their own, however, they fall short of having the time to also pack and ship. We can help with custom packaging from printing your logo on the boxes, package your apparel in poly bags and place hang tags on the apparel and insert brochuresin the shipment to raise awareness about your company and lower your shipping costs by using a larger warehouse and distribution center.<br />
In the end, this allows you to drive up sales, since you will have more time to work on your business and sales.<br />

</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">It should be obvious to any business owner that thousands of fans can create an extremely effective promotional channel but can you actually take action to drive more fans or is just a natual evolution? </div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Large companies like Coca-Cola will have fans that set-up pages for them and those pages can often grow to milions of users, but unfortunately small to mid-sized businesses can't just set-up a page and let the people do the rest.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Instead. lesser known brands need to invest heavily in brand development and leverage the various social media channels available to them to interact directly with their followers, fans and customers. </div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div style="color: red; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>The measure of success with any social media campaign is not whether you attracted 3,000 fans or 3 million, but whether you've attracted a large number of targeted fans who are loyal and will convert to the final sale.</b></span></div><div style="color: red; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />

<br />
When you click "Like" on a Page, in an advertisement, or on content off of Facebook, you are <b style="color: red;">making a connection</b>. The connection will be displayed in your profile and on your Wall and your friends may receive a News Feed story about the connection. You may be displayed on the Page you connected to, in advertisements about that Page, or in social plugins next to the content you like. The Page may also post content into your News Feed or send you messages. You may also share this connection with applications on the Facebook Platform.<br />
<br />
You always have control over your connections. You can unlike most content immediately, manage your connections on your profile, and restrict who you share your connections with in your privacy settings.<br />
<br />
Making a connection with a targeted user, is organic and leads to direct communication with your customer and the final sale. <br />

</div><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">First of all you have to tag yourself in the pictures.<br />
</span><ul><li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> You can do this when you are uploading your pics, or clicking on a pic and tagging it with your name.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> Other people may tag you in their photo albums as well, and that maybe why there are pics there you don't have in your albums.</span></li>
</ul><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
<br />
If there are pics that you don't want up there you can delete them:<br />
</span><ul><li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> Simply click on the box and in the upper right hand corner an "x" appears</span></li>

<br />
In the middle of all the hustle and bustle of the holiday season... there are some serious questions to be answered... Who is going to design our team's cycling jersey this year? Which manufacturer are we going to use? Can we find someone to meet our budget? What about sizing?<br />
<br />
<br />
December is normally the busiest time for me, as many teams are putting together their orders to guarantee their brand spanking new kits arrive in time for the their first race.<br />
In my 14 years of designing apparel, I've seen some great designs and some not so great designs.<br />
There are many different ways to design your jerseys. We can do full custom, semi-custom or print on an existing jersey.<br />
<ul><li>As you can imagine the full custom takes the longest to design and produce. But has the most FLASH at the finish line.</li>
<li>Semi-custom means that the design is already printed and a jersey is already sewn and ready to go, we just have to print on it. This is perfect for small teams less than 24. However, you may show up race day with others in the same template design.</li>
<li>Printing on an existing jersey - If you see my PBR jersey, we just printed on a white jersey and this is great for small orders and quick turnaround time.</li>
</ul><br />
1. Set the team's budget and collect down payment from team early on. Avoids stress and late orders. Most manufacturers require 1/2 up front at beginning of order. <br />
2. Set a realistic deadline. Some clients work 4 months ahead. This is ideal because some production times run 4-8 weeks depending on the amount of orders.<br />
3. Get artwork in vector or original format. Right clicking on your sponsor's website and giving me a .jpg won't work. I'll have to redraw the logo for a small fee. <br />
4. I wish I could wave my magic wand and get your order in as soon as we talk. The clock starts ticking when artwork proof is approved from the manufacturer. Just because we talked about it Friday on Nov. 5th nothing happens until artwork is submitted. <br />
5. I have relationships with all the manufacturers, from Primal Wear, Giordana, Pearl Izumi, ZBikewear, Sugoi, Louis Garneau, Voler, Hincapie. I've been at their plants, worked with them and have even my own designed retail apparel lines.<br />
<br />
I'm the perfect person for you to work with, I design, gather quotes, manage the order and make sure order comes in on time and correct, so you can be out there riding. I don't know of anyone else that does what I do. Pretty cool, eh?<br />
<br />
I would be more than happy to come to one of your monthly meetings to bring samples and answer questions. Free pizza and a couple of beers and I'll share all my vast knowledge. I'm available any Tuesday or Wednesday night and some weekends.Mariellen in Charlotte, NChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01533942293889152505noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4841221323005238446.post-21936747793068608212010-11-29T23:33:00.000-05:002010-11-29T23:33:18.511-05:00Holiday Snuggle Gift IDeas<div style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Auer Agency | Charlotte, NC | 704.236.0568 | mariellen@aueragency.com</div><div style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />

Time to figure out what to give your clients this year.<br />
Put your company name on of these items below, silk screen or embroidery can be used.<br />
<br />
Bags has been a very popular item this year, with recycling on the uprise, everyone needs a tote for grocery shopping, running to the gym or kid's overnight trips. Or fill them with holiday treats for special clients.<br />
<br />
AND my personal favorite is the wine bag, of course, you have to supply the good wine. Riesling is my favorite, light, fruity and a good wine to give.<br />
<br />
Price includes the bag only.<br />
Min is 12 items.<br />
<br />
I have other gift ideas as well, just let me know if you want to meet for a coffee and I can show you.<br />

</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Another year for a bike swap meet and expo. I think this is going on 5 years now. It was great to hang out at the speedway, listening to the loud NASCAR's running around the track. Being out in the cold and seeing old friends and meeting new faces.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="color: #b45f06; font-size: large;">NEW!!</span> Some new friends I met were <b>Angela Olson</b>, with this wild red hair and she said she had someone unfriend her so I went home and friended her on Facebook. Too funny. She was a ton of fun.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>Performance Therapy</b> - Met Mike the owner and we discussed apparel and jersey design for his company. He has trained pro athletes to the everyday weekend warrior. I met him at his office today, and they were just buzzing with clients.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>Rivergirl Fishing</b> <b>Company</b> - they stopped by needing jersey designs for their outfitter store. I went on their website, and realized that I'm a Rivergirl at heart. My dad used to take me fishing all the time growing up on Lake Michigan and even for spring break trips to the Ozarks.... that could be a trivia question. www.rivergirlfishing.com</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>Prudent Enviro Products </b>- environmentally safe products for cleaning your bike and accessories. Good stuff, hope to see more of their products out there on the market.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></div><div style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">OLDIE, BUT GOODY</span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>Nicole Bossie Boyd</b> - new husband has launched a new accessory for those in need of gadgets and such. He was even telling me he was flying out to Apple in California to work on an iPhone app. I shared a lot of laughs with Nicole and she even told me about someone who is trying to launch a cycling apparel line nearby.. Can't wait to hear from her. www.boydbikes.com</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>Jeff Wise,</b> with the US National Whitewater Center buzzed by my booth. I hadn't seen Jeff in quite a while. We used to spend countless hours together when the Whitewater Center didn't have a clue where it was going to be and who was going to pay for it. It was good to see him, and bumped into him last night at Taco Mac's. </div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>Spencer Lueders:</b> I didn't know he was still around, he's such a celebrity now... but he stopped to chat. We only had a few minutes, but it was good to talk to him. He's one of my favorite peeps. He has his own attorney practice right now and we started going down memory lane a little and catching up. Still need to grab a coffee and see what other trouble we can stir up.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Highlight of the day was watching<b> Ilan Paltrow, owner of Bicycle Sport, </b>doing wheelies at it slowed down in the main aisle, I was waiting for him to bust his ass, but he held his own.. Looking good Paltrow!!</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
