marketing 101
Portland Design Agency & CEIC member
Meet DHX Advertising
I was introduced to another CEIC (Central Eastside Industrial Council) member that used to be the president/executive director (Tim Holmes). As being the curious student that I am, I naturally went to their web site and was very impressed. Very clean and direct.
Marketing 101 Booklet
They also have a wonderful booklet that is included on their site of great little marketing tips for business people. It is an easy read and great little illustrations. I will be providing snippets and my thoughts on the subject matter in my next posting.

Mobile Marketing Conference 2011
Mobile Technology - Marketing Conference
This one day seminar was put on by Don Elliot of Elliot Designs. I enjoyed it (and not just because it was in the Migration Brewery). I took away a lot of information on what the future holds for the marketing of the smart phone. I will be attending their next seminar. I will post it on my Inkspot Graphics LinkedIn page.

Latest Project - trade out with Web Developer
Strategic Web Partner - John Hooley
I can't begin to tell you how much John (BlueBridge Development) has helped my company. We trade out our services for each other. He has done all the development for my web site, www.inkspotgraphics.com and I assist him with web design on his projects. He is easy to work with and allows me the freedom of design.
He recently asked me to help him design a Joomla! extension web site called Code Haiku. The direction that he gave me was that the site was to be clean and the navigation to be user friendly.
