			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is such a simple question but the answer is complete dependent on what you want from your <strong>Branded Art</strong> project. Some people want unlimited revisions throughout the design process while others are content with one or two. Also some people want more than one design, many people decide that they like two designs too much to choose between them in which case we work out an arrangement for both. So please fill out our <a href="http://www.brandedart.net/how-to-order">intake form here</a> and we will get back to you with a full project outline and quote right away.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Step 1</strong>: You fill out the form <a href="http://www.brandedart.net/how-to-order">here</a> and tell us some initial informtion about your needs.

<p><strong>Step 2</strong>: We assign you a <a href="http://brandedart.net/2008/08/04/what-does-my-project-manager-do/">project manager</a>. We believe extremely strongly that the only way we can grow this business is by keeping you absolutely happy. So our first pledge to you is that your project manager will not change from this initial step through the satisfactory delivery of your <strong>Branded Art</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>Step 3</strong>: The project manager reviews your initial intake form (the one found below) and he/she will draw up a project plan that they will then email to you along with some information on how to proceed next.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Not to worry, that is actually the whole point of <strong>Branded Art</strong>. We will build on your existing logo if you like, but generally we would love to just have you to describe to us your brand image and philosophy and let us creat for you a piece of <strong>Branded Art</strong> that brings your brand to a whole new place and level. Get you employees to want to wear a piece of clothing showcasing their brand. Why not even sell your new look or make shirts for clients and customers. Once you have your <strong>Branded Art</strong>, the possibilities are endless. So no it doesn&#8217;t matter you have a logo already.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Glad we could preempt your questions a little with a few brief articles.</p>
<p>We work with a whole bunch of different artists in the design of <strong>Branded Art</strong> pieces. These artists are selected on a project-by-project basis once we have enough information from you to understand just what it is that you are looking for with your <strong>Branded Art</strong>. There are times where we will have more than one artist come up with designs so we can get more than one person&#8217;s take and perspective. Again this is on a project-by-project basis.</p>
<p>You can be assured that you will know all the steps that are being taken in the design of your <strong>Branded Art </strong>and that you will have an assigned <a href="http://brandedart.net/2008/08/04/what-does-my-project-manager-do/">Project Manager</a> who will stay in contact with you in the method of your choosing until you sign off on a final delivery of your Branded Art.</p>
<p>The artists are used to working wtih the <a href="http://brandedart.net/2008/08/04/what-does-my-project-manager-do/">Project Managers</a> and we keep the line of communication open from you to the artist through your assigned <a href="http://brandedart.net/2008/08/04/what-does-my-project-manager-do/">Project Manager</a>.</p>
<p>In the coming weeks we will put up some of our portfolio work and showcase the amazing talents we have.</p>
<p>If you are a graphic artist and would like to work with us, please visit <a href="http://www.brandedart.net/im-an-artist">this page</a>.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I think one of the most important things I should point out when starting this site and creating my first entry. Obviously I surf the net quite a bit looking for new business opportunities and presenting them here. Sometimes I will even share my own business idea that I am not presently pursuing. All of these will give you an entrepreneurial twist and probably some of my own bias (just to be fair)</p>
<p>However, I am only one man and so I regularly use other sites to point me to great companies and opportunities which I then follow up upon with further questions and even interviews (perhaps even podcasts in the future).<span id="more-68"></span>So I thought it would be fair in my first few posts to point you to some of my resources because they are truly great sites and I learn a ton from them. Even if you just sign up for their newsletters and do not buy any reports, I highly recommend the site <a title="Trendwatching" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.trendwatching.com');" href="http://www.trendwatching.com/" target="_blank">Trendwatching</a>. I don’t visit the site daily but try to read through it once a week or so. It always offers great insight and certainly has much deeper resources than I can provide you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you have picked up a Starbucks coffee lately and noticed that there is a new little gadget in place to ensure your drink does not spill out of the hole cut in the lid, then you have already experienced a customer inspired innovation that cost the company the grand total of $0.We live in a time and place where often consumers complain that companies do not listen to them or that their collective voice is not heard. While I do not claim to know anything about the Coffee business and to be honest, I do not even drink coffee (I am much more of a soda guy myself) Starbucks has caught my eye with their <a title="My Starbucks Idea" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.mystarbucksidea.com');" href="http://www.mystarbucksidea.com/" target="_blank">My Starbucks Idea</a> website.</p>
<p>The idea is simple enough, give your customer’s a platform from which they can proffer ideas and suggestions about how to improve everything from their <a title="Starbucks Idea" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/mystarbucksidea.force.com/ideas/viewIdea.apexp?id=087500000004CkE');" href="http://mystarbucksidea.force.com/ideas/viewIdea.apexp?id=087500000004CkE" target="_blank">breakfast options</a> to <a title="Starbucks Idea" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/mystarbucksidea.force.com/ideas/viewIdea.apexp?id=087500000004Go9&amp;srPos=4&amp;srKp=087');" href="http://mystarbucksidea.force.com/ideas/viewIdea.apexp?id=087500000004Go9&amp;srPos=4&amp;srKp=087" target="_blank">having a shelf in the bathroom</a> to put your cup on. It seems as though consumers are really engaging with the site and they’re no dummies over at Starbucks, they are taking the time to not only listen to the ideas, but to respond and implement the best ones.</p>
<p>While the site has only been up for about a month, there have been hundreds if not thousands of suggestions (some ridiculous and some ingenious) and as important there has been a ton of feedback from consumers and Starbucks Corporate on the ideas put forward. As of today Starbucks already notes that they have twenty (20) of the ideas being implemented or at least tested in stores.</p>
<p>From a business perspective, could anything be simpler yet more innovative at the same time? Your consumers are often the best source of suggestions and insights that you being so close to your product end up missing. Many of the ideas have the potential to be revenue generators and the others will no doubt please many consumers.</p>
<p>Startbucks has often talked about its relationships with its customers and the idea of creating a consumer based culture, I can’t help but think this is a tremendous example of both.</p>
