After reading Seth’s Blog post that poses the questions, “Why us, why now?” … It got me thinking. According to Seth, those questions are the only thing between you and a sale. Really? I never really thought about it that way before. Then I started to think, what is it about Liquis that has kept us in the game? More importantly, what is it about us that has resulted in an especially busy season for us currently? Here’s what I came up with…
Why us, why now?
Generational Profiling
It sounds so negative, but it could be useful. Ponder your brand for a second. What does it mean to you? What do you think it means to others? Then think about how the four Ps of marketing (product, promotion, price and placement) fit into your audience perception. Did you ever consider that each generation will relate to your brand differently, and thus, your marketing and promotional efforts as well?
Happy New Year… Uhh, I mean bookkeeping!
Happy New Year! Hello 2010! What a fun celebration time. However, for those of us who are business owners, the New Year rings in that the inevitable tax season is coming up. Ugh! Where do I begin?
I by no means am a CPA but I do ready the books and reports for our Liquis CPA. The end of the year is a good time to assess your financial status and future goals.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Our sincerest happy wishes as you celebrate this holiday season. May your hearts be full of love and your celebrations full of meaning. It’s easy to get wrapped up in the hustle bustle of it all, but this time of year is short so soak it up!

Best Free File Sharing Tool Around – Dropbox.com

I have recently installed the Dropbox file sharing tool and it has continues to blow me away. Dropbox is easy to set up and very easy to use, and too good not to share! So let’s get into it…
Developing a visual brand with a plan
You know what a vision board is, right? Well, the great thing about a vision board is that it’s a visual representation of all your hopes and dreams and when you look at it frequently, you become subconsciously focused. Although most often used for obtaining personal goals, this concept can also be applied to companies in order to realize their brand and direction. more…
What we’re thankful for
This Thanksgiving, we at Liquis, are thankful for our amazing clients. We are a family business and our clients are an extension of that.
Our clients help us push the limits, become better and expand our creativity. We wouldn’t be here without them!
So happy Thanksgiving to our big fat Liquis family! Thanks for helping us get off the ground, grow and look toward the future.
Neat jQuery examples and tutorials… Yay!
jQuery is a JavaScript library that allows Web designers and developers to incorporate simple animations, handle events and add AJAX interactions with just a few lines of code. One of the main benefits, besides the use of more efficient code, is that designers/developers can incorporate more information into a Web page and still keep the aesthetics of a clean and snappy interface. To find out more on how to use and incorporate jQuery into your web projects start here. I have also included some links to examples and tutorials to what I feel are very useful jQuery tools below. Let the fun begin!
Phoenix Design Week begins!
All of us here at Liquis are getting anxious for the inaugural Phoenix Design Week to commense tomorrow. We have a busy schedule ahead attending exhibits and conferences and luckily a few new client meetings in between. I’m thinking all of this creativity will have a positive impact on upcoming work and I know we’re all excited for the challenge.
In light of Phoenix Design Week, we’ve not only put together this fun video as part of the event’s 12 Seconds promo, but we also gave our own Web site a revamp so we can put our best face forward and represent!
Stay tuned, we look forward to sharing some take aways from the event in upcoming posts.
How many computers do you need?
Yup, this is my messy home office taken as-is for this post. I raised the question today via Twitter asking how many computers a person needed and it turns out I’m not a rarity to own two computers accompanied by the backup of my trusty Blackberry. In fact, that seems to be the norm and many saw the need for multiple computers to be somewhat of a negative, but still, others were quite proud of their multi-computing selves.
What’s in a name?
When starting a new business, the first thing to do is name the new baby. Like a first child, some business owners name their company after themselves such as Garcia Express and Craigslist. Others use a play on words like Curl up and Dye (salon) and Sharp Bodyz (auto detailing). It could be an everyday word like Target or Jack in the Box, or something totally made up like Kudzu or Liquis Design.
Measuring the impact of how social media affects your business profits or brand reputation could very well be the most sought after report of any business in a time when viral buzz = sales.
