Do you like makeovers? I sure do.
Whether it's a car, person, or
living room, it's always great fun seeing what a little change here,
or there, can do.
Inevitably, there comes the time for a major overhaul, as was the case
with my own Web site, www.sandyhershelman.com.
Last winter, I FINALLY sat down and spent time working on my own image. When I last e-mailed (most of) you, in November, I did so as Cat's Eye Design. Personally, I still love the name. . .and the idea of being "The Kitten on the Keys at Cat's Eye Design". I'm not letting go of that trade name.
But, I've had a revelation;
maybe you'd call it a reality check. When most of you heard "Cat's
Eye Design," you asked, "Who?"
When asked if you knew Sandy Hershelman, you probably went, "Oh,
I know her!"
Hence, I realized I was not making use of my greatest marketing tool —at least in East Jefferson County— my name.
And so, I decided to greet the New Year with a new business name: Sandy Hershelman Designs. Got to admit, there's no doubt it's me.
Me and my big mouth.
A member of the Rotary Club of East Jefferson County for only a couple of
weeks, I was asked to give a "classification" speech — basically
a tell- them-what-I-do tall tale.
I was on a roll by the time it came to the part where I was telling the
mostly business owners what a valuable tool a newsletter can be, whether it's
in print or via e-mail.
From the front row, everyone heard one Rotarian say to the other, "Hey,
does Rotary have a newsletter?"
The other quickly replied, "No, but we soon will have."
Want to guess who the editor of the Rotary's new newsletter is????
Joking aside, I'm proud to be a part of such a generous organization.

Introducing!!!!
|
|
When Nick decided to go into real estate full time, he asked me to design a showcase for the homes he was listing, as a Realtor for Coldwell Banker, Forrest Aldrich. Nick's site is heavy with photographs, both his and mine. Consequently, I kept the basic design of the site really simple, just blue and white. . . the colors of Coldwell Banker. Don't tell anyone, but I even find myself using his links page, when I'm in need of quick access to some of this area's most informative sites. |
