Tue, 18 Jun 2013 14:08:27 PDT

As a songwriter, over the years, I've learned that every listener is different. Some like songs with great beats and some like songs with great lyrics.

In a wedding lyrics and meaning are very important. Sometimes a song that sounds like a love song is not really one or may say things that are not really [...]

On Lighting

Mon, 27 May 2013 16:27:25 PDT

The way light affects a photograph is what can express a feeling the photographer is trying to share with the viewer. First light is a new beginning as the sun begins to rise above the horizon. Shadows are emerging, yet soft details form in the photo. Just before sunset, the scenes take on new meaning rather than the harsh sunlight at midday. Light is challenging and rewarding at the same time.

Printed Images or Digital Files?

Mon, 20 May 2013 12:30:28 PDT

My wife and I had a genuinely good time planning for our wedding a few years ago. One of the things I enjoyed most was hiring a photographer. For us the decision was not difficult.

We felt more comfortable skimping on other things than the photograher(s) who were going to capture our most precious moment together. We chose our photographer [...]

Why legal music?

Sun, 17 Mar 2013 13:45:17 PDT

I was having a discussion the other day with a potential client, and I mentioned that all of our music is obtained 100% legally. There was a pause on the line, then this person replied “why does that matter?” I gave her the reasons why it did matter, but then I thought, if this prospect is asking that question, I am sure many others out there wonder the same thing. Before I go into the reasons why it is important that your wedding entertainment company use legal music, [...]

Until bills are signed into law, it is just a bunch of hot air and confusing jargon. The [...]

On January 1, Congress passed a bill to keep the government from leaping off the so-called "fiscal cliff" — a set of tax hikes so devastating that Washington insiders warned they would ricochet through the economy, plunge us back into recession, and possibly even send the earth spinning into the sun. That bill included raising the top marginal rate on taxable income over $400,000 ($450,000 for joint filers) from 35%, where it had stood for the last 12 years, to 39.6%. 39.6% may [...]

Common Small Business Tax Misperceptions!!

Thu, 07 Mar 2013 23:50:38 PST

One of the biggest hurdles you'll face in running your own business is staying on top of your numerous obligations to federal, state, and local tax agencies. Tax codes seem to be in a constant state of flux making the Internal Revenue Code barely understandable to most people.

It had started to rain and we ducked under the cover of the nearby barn. Just when they throught I wasn't looking...*click*. Now that tender moment is captured forever in [...]

How important are 3rd party reviews to Google Places/Plus rankings?

Fri, 22 Feb 2013 11:35:59 PST

Getting good reviews on 3rd party websites like Yelp, Merchant Circle, etc is a good idea but it's not necessarily a Google local ranking factor for 2013. The old Google Places algorithm took this into account but the new blended listings which show up for more competitive keyphrases do not give 3rd party reviews much weight when it comes to ranking in our experience. The new blended results seem to rely more on organic SEO factors, good old fashioned local SEO. Make sure you are using [...]

This is what makes testimonial advertising so effective: someone like us telling his or her experiences (story) with the product or service.

Sat, 05 Jan 2013 21:00:51 PST

It's no secret that planning a wedding can be a very expensive venture. What's not as well-known is that who you select as your DJ can be one of the biggest decisions you will make in determining the success (or lack thereof) of your wedding day. I certainly don't expect you to take my word for it; obviously I'm a little biased in this area. I recomment getting professional references as well finding out what past clients have to say.

It's Just A Logo: Why Hire A Graphic Designer

Fri, 04 Jan 2013 16:37:57 PST

The first rule of business is 'Always make a good first impression.' Graphic designs, such as logos, branding, business cards and billboards, play such an important role in that initial impression. These things are more than just an expense, it is the overall way you will tell the world about your company, product, or service.

hen it comes to mobile business web design, there are a lot of different ideas floating around out there – some more helpful than others.

In other words, launching a new mobile app or integrating mobile [...]

Bookkeeping and Outsourcing to Israel

Thu, 03 Jan 2013 03:47:12 PST

For many years after the establishment of the State of Israel, Israel was a fledgling nation with limited resources. Israel depended heavily on financial support from American Jews. The Jewish community responded with unprecedented unanimity and generosity. Today, though support from the Diaspora is perhaps more important than ever, the Israeli economy is exceeding all expectations. Playing on a famous quote from John F. Kennedy, we can now say, thank God; ask [...]

Digital Direct Mail - Trash or Treasure?

Wed, 02 Jan 2013 12:30:39 PST

Remember that flier for the window-washing business that appeared in your mailbox last week? No? We can’t say we’re surprised.

How to Write Attention-Grabbing Email Subject Lines

Wed, 02 Jan 2013 12:13:37 PST

It seems as though email marketing has taken the place of antiquated direct mail advertising practices. And while email marketing is certainly more cost effective than its postage consuming precursor, the mere fact that the majority of businesses now engage in this practice means that consumers are feeling overloaded by crowded email in-boxes.

How much does web design cost?

Sun, 30 Dec 2012 08:05:17 PST

If you ask for bids on your internet project, you will inevitably get quotes ranging from the extreme low to the over-the-top high. Many business owners make the mistake of going with the extremes, either the lowest price or the highest. Their thought process is usually if it's the least expensive they've found a good deal or if it's a high priced firm they're getting the very best. It surprises a lot of my clients to find out that both choices are usually the least effective when it [...]

The psychology behind the color black–and other dark hues– is usually associated with being powerful and commanding respect, which is generally what most companies or law firms want their employees to look like.However, that does not mean you need to wear all black. Too much black, and you’re a beatnik. And if you have black hair, an all-black outfit can make your face seem as though [...]

Mon, 24 Dec 2012 05:59:19 PST

As a wedding band leader, once in a while, couples contact us telling us that they want to book both a DJ and a band for their wedding.

Its very easy for me to have my subjects well lit, and composed nicely, with sweet smiles on their faces... that in itself would make a good image.... but what separates a good image from a great "oh my gosh" image is that when the twinkle in their eyes appear, or the laughter from their soul that [...]

When I start a new project, specifically this time a logo, it is helpful to think of it as a house. By this I mean consider that the [...]
