Curtis Smeltzer Graphic Design ad in the DEX Yellow Pages

I got my new DEX Yellow pages for Kosciusko County Indiana this week. I was sold on the point that I was the only business under the Website design section. As you can see, my ad is on the bottom corner of the page. There is just one thing... I'm the only business listed under website design, but DEX themselves took out a half of a page to advertise their website design service as well. It would have been nice to know if I'm wasting my time advertising in the DEX yellow pages. I didn't expect to be the only advertiser under the website design heading, but when I was told that I am the only one listed, I'd expect that to be true. BAD DEX! BAD!

A few new designs

This past week I've had a few nice new prospective new clients. The first client is The Victorian Candy Company in Shipshewana, Indiana. They will be featuring Brittle Brackle. I am designing a logo for them as well as a website, brochures, business cards, and possibly some etched glass.

The second new customer I have is dealing with ecojacks.com. At ecoJacks, based in Warsaw, Indiana, they reuse reclaimed bowling allies to make nice tables and other furniture. I found them in the Indiana Auto & RV magazine. I actually purchased some wood from them to make my new kitchen counter tops. (pictures of before and after my kitchen is complete are coming soon.

The third new customer is that I'll be doing a website for the Mug and Brush Barbershop in Milford, Indiana. I went in for a haircut, and it turns out that the owner was going to give me a call anyways, but I beat him to the punch. I'm looking forward to doing his website design, utilizing his logo which is really fun.
