Putting your best Twitter forward

Friday, April 6th, 2012

If you are going to partake in social media, then it is important to customize your account. Twitter is no different than Facebook in that regard, you can easily customize your background which gives you the opportunity to advertise your services, other networks you are involved in, all the while capturing a person’s attention with awesome design.

Below is one that we recently completed for Jensen Jewelers, @LoveFromJensen.

Premier Painting, a new logo

Tuesday, April 3rd, 2012

Premier Painting has been around for  years, however like many small business owners there wasn’t time to sit down and manage the marketing aspect. Enter, 834 Design. Our team worked with Premier Painting to develop a logo that could be used for their new website, business cards and other marketing material.

Funky Junk Flea

Friday, March 2nd, 2012

We love clients with unique and creative names. The Funky Junk Flea is Grand Rapids’ weekly vintage flea market that runs from June to August. We had a ton of fun designing this logo and we can’t wait to get started on the website, so stay tuned. For now, check them out on their Facebook page and ‘like’ them.

Grand Rapids Auction House

Friday, March 2nd, 2012

We love logo development, there is nothing more rewarding than being able to work with a client to develop an identity for them that they will use to represent themselves.

The Grand Rapids Auction House has been in business for many years, however they have never had a logo that embodies what they do. We have many talented designers on the 834 team. Thanks to the fabulous Laura Sullivan we were able to create this eye-catching, bold logo that they loved.

If you don’t have a logo (how could you not!), give us a call so we can help you create and identity that represents your company’s personality and services.

Show your love for Gina’s

Wednesday, February 22nd, 2012

I often say that I love our client,  because without a doubt it is true. We have had the pleasure of working with a local downtown business that has been paving the way for other downtown businesses for years. Gina’s Boutique specializes in bringing trendy, affordable and unique fashions to Grand Rapids through exclusive, contemporary clothing and accessories.

The owner, Gina VanGessel brought 834 on board to develop an overall marketing plan, social media strategy, email marketing outreach and design of a new online store. We have also been implementing the strategies that we have developed and that ranges from managing social media accounts, running contests, giveaways, email messaging and design as well as event planning.

The most recent contest that Gina is running is a video contest that asks Facebook fans to submit a 15 second video that explains how that person loves Gina and what word they feel describes the boutique. The winner will receive some AMAZING prizes. You can view the information on their Facebook page here.

We have also partnered with several local fashionistas to judge the video entries. Find out who they are here. The Mode Life also ran a great article on the contest, check it out.

You can still enter to win…so do it while you can. Oh and while I am at it, support local.
