Santa Claws

The InfoVine folk are passionate about their causes. One of our favorite charities is Frisky Paws. It's a great group that helps dogs and cats transition from the BARC facility to new homes. This weekend, InfoVine employees Frank, Judy and Steve helped raise money by taking pictures with "Santa Claws" at a local PetSmart. A good time time was had by all and most importantly, money was raised.

InfoVine Holiday Party a Great Success





We gathered again to share a meal and play our infamous version of white-elephant game. We take it very, very serious around here. Some of the gifts...were just a bit different....

I Think Our Christmas Present Just Got Here


A big truck showed up today with a really big box on it. I wonder if it's our Christmas present?

Big Order


Here's a shot taken a few minutes ago. One of my best customers needed some custom 9" x 12" window envelopes printed quickly. Ricky and Jerry pulled out all stops (and some of their hair) to get it done. Thanks guys!

Happy Birthday Dena!


Our Dena Joy celebrated her birthday last week while she was on vacation. We never forget to clelebrate one of our own - especially if it involves food. The top photo shows a "Molly Cake," which looks like her dog. Happy Birthday Dena and thanks for all that you do for our customers and for us. Let's Eat!

It's just a business card, right?


The business card as we know it has been around for so long, we sometimes take it for granted. It's small, portable, has a lot of information...and represents your brand. I admit, I'm a collector of business cards. I'll flip through my collection looking for someone, and I tend to notice that certain cards stand out more than others. Here are some things you might want to consider:

1) Size: ever thought about doing a size slightly smaller? Standard size is 2" x 3.5", but I've seen slightly smaller sizes such as 1 5/8" x 3". I've even seen one from a green-friendly company that was 2 1/4 x 2" (yes that's right). It says right on it "This card uses 35% less paper than the average business card."

2) Paper: You are proud of your business, show it. Why not use a heavier paper, maybe a 111# glossy cardstock. It'll sure last longer and it gives a good impression.

3) Orientation: maybe try a portrait (vertical) orientation rather than the traditional landscape one.

4) The back: I'm a big fan on white backs when I have something to write on them (where DID I meet this person, who do they know, etc.) However you could also argue that a white background is 50% wasted real estate...so the choice is yours. If you've got something compelling to say on the back, go for it.
