Quality custom labels for your small business needs

July 23, 2008 by Tricia

I know that a number of my regular readers are also small business owners. Some of you own small stores, others make a variety of products that you sell from your home based businesses.

More than likely some of your businesses require labels for your products. I was a small business owner myself several years ago, however the business I was in didn’t require labels for my products. I was a jeweller.

I can think of lots of small businesses that might use custom made Labels like those that can be found at Frontier Label. Small companies that make handmade soaps, candles, potpourri, marinades, sauces or other bottled goods, beers, wines, herbs, teas or coffees might all need custom labels for their products.

What I like about Frontier Labels is that you can provide your own design, perhaps your company logo in the form of a high quality image and they will create custom Labels for you.

Not only that – say you need a variety of labels, you can combine multiple stickers or labels (as long as they are the same size and material) on one order and get the combined volume pricing. Frontier Labels sell in bulk in quantities of 250 up to 2000 labels at a time depending upon the size and style. So the ability to combine your order to get the volume pricing is an added bonus.

If you’re interested in having quality labels made for your company take a look at Frontier Labels sample Labels. After that you talk via Live Chat with one of the company representatives if you have any questions that aren’t answered on the site.

Discover a Hobby – a resource site for hobbyists

July 11, 2007 by Tricia

Do you have a hobby? Sure you do. I think almost everyone has a hobby of one kind or another. Anyone who reads this site regularly knows that I have several interests and hobbies ranging from music, gardening, photography to keeping exotic pets.

What are your hobbies?

If you are interested in starting a hobby – a great thing to do if you have just quit smoking or if your trying to lose weight as a hobby will occupy you – or if you have a hobby that you want to learn more about you should visit Discover A Hobby. This site is a free online guide with information on 100 + hobbies.

The creator of the site, Duncan Davis, started this site a year ago and he spent a lot of time collecting links, articles, videos, highly recommended hobby related books and product information and put it all together on the Discover a Hobby site so that those interested in hobbies would be able to find useful information quickly and easily.

The site has information on hobbies ranging from collecting, sports, arts, music, extreme sports, games and one of my personal favs photography.

I’ve already bookmarked the photography section of this site. As you might already know I just purchased a digital SLR camera and while I’ve managed to figure out a lot of things on my own it sure would be nice to visit some sites that explained all the special features and techniques that I’ll now be able to do with my camera. I’m sure I’ll be spending a lot of time at Discover a Hobby.

Check out the site for yourself. I’m pretty sure you’ll find some useful information. You can even submit articles or links to helpful sites if you want to help build the site.

June 25, 2007 by Tricia

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by all the information that you’ve stored on your computer and have desperately wanted to find a way to get organized so that you can find the files you need within minutes you might be interested in a unique software program called TopicScape Information Organizer in 3D!

That’s right. It’s a 3D information organizer. You can get an idea of what your organized information might look like by having a look at this chefs recipe information organizer software. If you were to organize your own recipes that you’ve stored on your computer according to ingredients it might look something like the example that I linked to above.

It’s simply a new way to look at information. If you are a visual person you’ll love this software.

To use the program simply drag and drop files and information on to topic areas. Connecting the various topics in your own way will individualize your 3D Topicscape organizer in a way that suits your way of thinking.

If this sounds interesting to you, you can visit the site via any of the links above or read this in depth article 3d mindmapping software article to get even more information about this unique software program.

There’s a TopicScape lite and a Topicscape pro addition for download on the site. You can also down load TopicScape skins that will help you individualize the look and feel of your TopicScape installation.

Give it a try, perhaps this will be the perfect organization system for you.

Publish your digital content and when someone places an order Lulu handles the business end of the sale by publishing the content, delivering the item and the customer service needs of the client.

If I sound excited about this product it’s because I really am. I’ve had so many people tell me over the last few months that I should be publishing some of my work and articles as an e-book.

Web design and Graphic Arts courses?

May 22, 2007 by Tricia

I think I’ve mentioned before that I’ve been seriously considering going back to school for some course in web design, graphics and perhaps internet marketing.

I have years of experience in creating websites for others and myself, but I never pursued this as a form of employment. It’s always been something I’ve done on the side.

Now that I’ve been stuck at home for about a year and a half due to my stupid illness I’ve discovered that I actually can make a living by doing work through the internet. Whether it be marketing or design I haven’t fully decided, but I really do think I should work on my skills and learn a few more things if I really want to make this work. So I’ve been looking at the courses at Collins College. I don’t know if I’ll take any of their courses, but it’s giving me some great ideas.

I’m actually in the middle of redesigning a few of our sites right now. This is the only one that’s giving me trouble. The coding isn’t complex but it’s not as straightforward as on all the rest of the blogs. One wrong move and the site doesn’t work anymore! Perhaps if I did take some courses weird code like the one that makes up this theme wouldn’t be as much of a problem?
