What Color Are Your Boots On The Ground? Recently, we talked about the Air/Land/Sea breakdown of small business marketing, how Land = the boots on the ground, and all the real-world physical interactions we create to sell ourselves. One tactic you can use is owning a color so the public subconsciously associates a specific color palette with ABC Heating & Air with, for example. An HVAC client I've worked with for years took on "red carpet care for your heating and air" as their branding, which hits home when their techs lay out a red carpet under their toolbox to protect the home from any stray dirt. And the red carpet extends to an annual gala fundraising event the company throws to support one of their favorite local charities. Pink works, too, especially to stand out in the more muted world of home services. For another client, we had them adopt pink uniforms and branded clothing for all customer visits and ordered pink piggy banks to give as a gift to the kids in the home, with the subtle assertion mom and dad were going to save money using the company's services. At first aesthetic matters like colors in branding efforts may seem superficial to think too much about. But when you use it as a launch pad for a strong bond with the community, it's another hook point that makes it easier for happy customers to share your story with their friends and family.

Strength In Coatings, Barrel Racing, Community, and Commitment One of our New Finish team members, “Ashlee” traded in her work boots for cowboy boots as she saddled up for the local rodeo – East Rowan Saddle Club and proudly sporting her New Finish, Inc. T-shirt in the arena. It’s a unique contrast – from the precision of coating heavy-duty machinery to the thrill of barrel riding and roping steers. But amidst the excitement of the rodeo, there’s an important lesson to be learned about the value of community support and participation. Just as our coatings help protect and enhance agricultural equipment, community events like the rodeo play a vital role in bringing people together and strengthening the fabric of our towns and neighborhoods. At New Finish, Inc., we understand the importance of being active members of our community. Whether we’re supporting local events, sponsoring youth sports teams, or participating in charity fundraisers, we believe in giving back to the communities that support us. So, when you see one of our team members in the rodeo arena, know that they’re not just representing New Finish, Inc. – they’re representing the spirit of community involvement and support that defines who we are as a company. Here’s to the thrill of the rodeo, the precision of our coatings, and the strength of our community. At New Finish, Inc., we’re more than just an industrial coatings company – we’re a part of something bigger, and we’re honored to be able to contribute in any way we can.

Sausages must be neat, and all lined up. That was always the scope. Cooking sausages was the easy part, but what I really loved was the sizzle. As a member of the Scouting Community for over 20 years, I lost count of how many sausage sizzle fundraisers my family and I did. What I remember is the importance of selling the sizzle. Creating energy and an atmosphere, was not just about gaining volunteers to cook sausages, but to gain customers to support our local Scout Group fundraising needs. It might have been signage, flyers to promote and create the activation or perhaps it was the simple messaging of our objectives that was essential for success. Being creative and designing the sizzle is not only rewarding but exhilarating… Building a team of like-minded people that want to think creatively and work around the clock to deliver on our promises is what will make us successful. Get ready to follow the next steps in my adventure…#design #print #signage #marketing

I am donating my art to help raise money and awareness for the Casper Mountain Preservation Alliance. We will be raffling off my bronze sculpture ‘’COWBOY CODE’’ 19’’ x 10’’ price $3500. This sculpture is very appropriate as a symbol of our struggle to keep gravel mining off Casper Mountain. Tickets are $20. each or 6 for $100. and 100% of the funds are going to our legal fund. If you want to help, please buy some tickets it is for a good cause and you might win a Navarro bronze sculpture. Wyoming is known as the Cowboy State and respectable men and women who lived in the West were bound by unwritten rules that centered on hospitality, fair play, loyalty, and respect for the land. There was no law on the range back in the days when the cowman with his herds carved out a new frontier. Lack of written law made it necessary to develop a rule of behavior, which became known as the "Code of the West." These laws were a socially agreed upon code of conduct that helped shape the cowboy culture of the Old West and were respected everywhere on the range. The sculpture’s forward-facing horses symbolize the future and what lies ahead. Both standing still express the present. The cowboy turning in the saddle, looking back over the trail, represents the past. The brand in the middle of the base stands for the mark and pride he puts on the work he finishes. Surrounding the base are some of the Cowboys Codes of the West. You cannot go wrong practicing these principles in your own life: 1. Ride for the brand. 2. Your word is your bond. 3. Be tough but fair. 4. Do what has to be done. 5. Protect and help the weak. 6. Always finish what you start. 7. Take pride in your work. 8. Live each day with courage.

Summer sales can be enticing, but before you start loading your closet with a new wardrobe, make sure your closet is organized. Here are 3 tips that can help turn your closet around. 👗Categorize your belongings by sorting like with like. This makes it easy to find what you need and prevents a jumbled mess. You can go one step further by organizing items by type, color, or size. 👗Maximize your space by taking advantage of underutilized areas. Add double hanging rods and shelving where you can. These items come in permanent and temporary forms. This allows you to store more items without overcrowding. 👗Utilize storage containers and bins to store smaller items and out of season items. Make sure each container is labeled so you can easily find what you need. This keeps your closet organized and prevents clutter from building up on shelves or the floor.

DAVE'S DIRTY HOE CONSTRUCTION CO... A Teeny Tiny Division of DAVE'S DIRTY HOE DRYWALL CO... NEWSLETTER... My alert reader Mary from London Ontario sent me this... Dear Dave What is the new platform about. And why is it so important. I sent her back this... Dear Mary What were doing is were creating a place for all Canadians to go.. Were building a room with eight boards.. Two of our boards show everyone registering from every city and every town across Ontario... When anyone sees someone registering in their city or town.. You simply send them an email and connect with them, and talk with them.. Four other boards show all the MPs that are running in the next election in 2025. All members will be able to Vote and we can all see the total votes. This way our Trusted politicians cant cheat (again)... We are the true Votes.. Another board is to show everything that's going on throughout Ontario.. Our Government is not going to tell us what's going on.. So we as Canadians are going to tell everyone about what's going on in every city and every town. We want to change the Schools Curriculum to bring in Robotics classes, and Computer classes in all the Public Schools... What we would like to accomplish will be getting these Robots into the Schools, where the robots recognize all the students.. Which creates interaction, and both the students and the robots learn from one another. One of our other boards will be connecting the Seniors with the Teenagers. I call it Teniors and Seenagers... I cant tell you what were doing, but it will be something that you will never forget... So there is a live feed to this platform, and we can all enjoy ourselves.. And there will be a few surprises... If you don't join, your children will not have a future in this Country... This fundraiser is just to connect you all, and invite you to the new platform of One Million Angry Beavers.. Thus the reason we only want tiny donations. There is a large group of us that want to give the power back to the people. Which means, when were all on here.. We can anything... We could even boycott an entire Country... https://lnkd.in/dsW4FuFU Wait until you see what were all gonna do... You are all going to be a Canadian Spy... (wink wink)
