Website Design and Content Creation

A web presence is needed for just about every business today. This was recognized by our friends at Youngs Lodge in Callao, MO and so they asked for our help. This website was produced quickly to provide that presence for their brand new operation, but it is easy to update so the content will continue to grow over time. This not only allows them to keep adding information about their services, but it makes the site more interesting for people that come across it a second time, allowing a bond to be built with potential customers.

Website projects require some of The Art Department’s best team work. Websites aren’t just a function of programming or merely of graphic design, its very much a fusion of the two. When we create websites, Jenn develops a concept for the site and then Jeff creates the code. We love to create websites that can easily be updated by the owner of the site, but we can also create content when needed.

Oval Shaped Full Color Sign for Bean Coffee Shop

Want something a bit out of the ordinary? We can do that!
We were happy to help the owners of the new corner drive-through coffee shop, Bean, with their signage. The clean look of the logo is complemented by the unique oval shape. The coloring and finish of the sign match well with the improved look of the building and the overall improvements of the entire corner property. We love helping small businesses look good!

Window Scapers

Few advertising mediums give you as much control over when someone sees your message as window scrapers. Scrapers are used in a specific season while your target is performing a specific task. You control who sees your message by handing the item to your target.

One of the great things about window scrapers is that if it is being used, there is a very high chance your customer is having an emotional response. While it is most likely not a positive response, negative emotions also provide a very good time to convey your message. If someone is unhappy that they are scraping their windows, they may be more interested in a remote car starter. If someone got caught in a sleet storm they were not expecting, they will probably appreciate the ice scraper that neatly fits on their visor. If someone is scraping their windows, there is a chance that they need someone to plow their driveway. What a great time to have your name in front of them!

Large window scrapers like those above start around $2.90 for 150 pieces and can go as low as $2.60. Hand held scrapers with a non slip grip look great which provide additional perceived value. The scrapers on the left start at $1.65 for 150 pieces and get as low as $1.39.

These economy scrapers are on special thru the end on 2011 for $0.71 each. They come with a clip to attach to a window visor which can vastly improve your number of impressions. All of thes scrapers have the potential to be seen 100+ time each winter, which puts your cost per impression at pennies.
