Deliverables that do Double Duty
 Amy says...
I have always been a fan of efficiency and a lover of all things useful. Even in purchasing items for my home, I find I gravitate toward pieces with purpose. For example, I currently have a rustic old trunk as a coffee table. Not only is this piece eye-catching and unique, but it does double duty as a storage container. The best part, it cost me $30 at a second hand store! Let's see if I can't apply the same stratgies to your marketing deliverables. It's time to think double duty...

Client Profile:
Alive Personal Training Inc.
My business, ALIVE personal training Inc. has been using
Meringue for our business card needs since we started almost 3 years ago. Amy designed our distinctive logo which continues to get positive comments to this very day. Our business is located in a large building, so she put an easy to read map on the back of our business cards with a "star" high-lighting our front entrance. It is much appreciated!
In this day and age of poor customer service and quality,
Meringue is a breath of fresh air. We always get exactly what we want in a matter of days, the work is always done to our satisfaction and the prices are very reasonable.
We can't ask for more!
