    Wolfville Perfect Christmas Shopping Promotion

    Developed for the business community of Wolfville and part of a $50,000 Christmas advertising campaign, this promotion ran very successfully for three consecutive years 2012-2014.

    As part of a multi-faceted program, we produce a beautiful 36 page full colour shopping catalogue in both print and online versions. The print catalogue was distributed to 35,000 households accross the Annapolis Valley, while the online version was supported by a custom built contest driven website.

    Print ads were also placed in provincial newspapers and local radio supported the promotion in daily informational blitzes. The promotion was extremly successful, with over 15,000 entrants yearly in the promotional contest to win a $500 Wolfville Shopping Spree. A contact list of nearly 50,000 email addresses was cultivated throughout the program and was used to promote Wolfville as a shopping destination year-round.

    See & Do Guide Maps
    In continuous print production for 18 consecutive years, See & Do Guide maps were adopted by the Regional Tourism Authority as the "Select Map Component" to go hand-in-hand with Nova Scotia's Regional Visitor Guides. They were so popular they quickly became the most requested-by-name guide map ever to be produced in Nova Scotia. We stopped producing the print guides in 2015 when tourism switched to online focused marketing. 

    Printed process colour on gloss stock and folded to pocket map size, these guides fit display racks perfectly and contained enough map detail to easily way-find around the entire province. Beautiful display ads featured great places to Eat, Shop, Stay and Play around the province.

    We handled all aspects of marketing, ad creation and proofing with customer, payment collection, printing and distribution. We continue to offer this design platform for communities, theme parks, fairgrounds, campgrounds etc. that wish to offer their customers printed guide maps.

Unfortunately, due to declining membership in the B&B  association the product could no longer be supported and was discontinued.

    We have a long history of providing pre-press support and custom design services to clients working with Friesen's Book Printers or other independant presses, on self-publishing projects.  We have provided all aspects of book design, from the selection of the font, to typesetting the pages. In this sample book, images and text were provided by the author. We provided touch-up and editing services to all photographs, designed a pleasing page layout, chose an appropriate typeface and typeset all the pages. This is one of over 40 books we have assisted in the production of to date.

    Vanity Publications & Family History Booklets

    Over the years we have provided design and printing of several dozen small vanity books and publications.  From historical reference to family memoirs, to poetry and verse, we have taken notes scribbled on scraps of paper and in scribblers, along with a few photographs, and have turned them into beautiful limited production books.  One customer in particular, a school teacher for 60+ years, was so pleased with the service we offered, she came back five more times to have personal memoir books produced for her family and friends.

  • Powerful CMS Websites That Work

    websitesWe offer superior website hosting, design and maintenance services for all types of internet presences.

    We build websites that are easy to navigate and understand, and we empower our customers to self-manage as little or as much of their website as they desire. Most customers have us start them off with a few standard information pages and they take over, once trained, and continue to add more pages, more sections, new photo galleries, blog posts, etc., growing their website at their desired pace.

    We are asked all the time "How much will my new website cost?", and while it might be nice to think you can go to the store and buy an off-the-shelf website like you can a cookbook, each website we build has it's own purpose, programming and tools that make it function. We like to first listen to the customer to see what they want their website to do, what they want it to be for their business, and then we suggest a budget based on those wants and needs. We can then adjust either the budget or the features we include to make a perfect fit. We like to start reasonably and grow a website with a business, so we are pleased to start out simple and build more complexities and services into your website as your business and budget grow.

    We have however prepared a standardized set of prices and what is generally included at that design and programming level, so you can judge where your website budget should realistically be:

    Say "Hello" to GREAT Design

    When you greet someone, you say; "Hello". The tone and expression you use, can convey many different emotions and meanings. Good graphic design in your business is a great way to say a positive hello to your customers.

    Graphic Design is all around us everywhere we look; billboards, television, books, newspapers and magazines. Each piece is designed with colours, lettering styles and imagery that create a mood, feeling, or energy specific to the intended message. 

    These days anyone can "design" something... anyone can use a graphics program or pick up a brush and create colour and texture... but without having the skills and knowhow to focus on the PURPOSE, the message can quickly become lost or unclear. It's likesaying hello in a foreign language!

    We strive to provide our customers with innovative graphic and Internet design services that will make them stand out in their individual marketplace, and reach their audience with their intended message - LOUD AND CLEAR!  We work hard to accomplish tasks on time and within budget, and we often provide our customers with more than they asked for!  

    It's time to say Hello to GREAT DESIGN!  Call us today for a free, no obligation quote on your design project.
