One thing I truly need for lmlvideoservices.com is a new website. Over the past couple of years I have used free templates I have found on the internet. That has been a tremendous help as it hasn’t cost me anything for design and it enabled me to get my face out there.
I believe that is one thing that has gotten me where my business is at today, but times they are a changin’.
I need a professional website. Not necessarily created by a professional, just one that looks professional. I don’t have the skills for complex things such as PHP or JavaScript. I admire to have something as nice as APM Studio, they are who I achieve to be someday.
If someone out there who wants to add something to their resume, or if you’re a student who needs to create a website for a school project. Leave me a comment. I’ll make it worth your wild.
The next change needed is marketing, or the current lack thereof. My wife and I had talked about marketing my products and services to local photographers, funeral homes and various other small businesses. I just haven’t done anything constructive with those conversations thus far.
I currently have some very good ideas. Getting those ideas to a workable plan and seeing that plan to completion is a different story though.
The current idea is to send a letter with a personalized pamphlet to each business. It would be your typical sales letter I guess. In the letter it will state that I would like to make an appointment to meet with the owner or manager of each business. After a couple of weeks I would call each place to try to set up said appointment. I’m trying to make this personal and not some piece of “junk mail” like many businesses receive.
I am also undergoing an attempt to redesign my logo. It’s been hard. I removed my tattoo, as I think it looks clean and more professional. Rachel tells me that it looks too plan and “blah!” however. I do not want to change the conjoined LML, as this is something I actually “designed” in 4th grade. It was to be my “celebrity” signature should I become famous, LML is my initials.
I’d like your opinions on the matter. If you have any ideas or suggestions, I might use em. (with your okay of course)
I think I might have to agree with Rachel. The old logo has more visual interest. As to the “clean and professional” look, I confess I never realized the old logo was a tattoo design. I thought of it more as an abstract. Anyway, it might look cleaner if it was simplified and darkened — made into a black and white design with no shades of gray.
