Small business, entrepreneurship and public relations - the worlds I "play" in all day - thrive (and really survive) on connections and relationships. Because of this, I spend a lot of time saying hello, thank you, reminding people of what I'm up to and showing gratitude when they help support me on my journey.
Though email or snail mail are always nice when you want to say "THANKS" or "HEY I exist, keep me in mind for XYZ", in communication, as in most parts of my life, I like to deliver the message with a little bit more moxie. I'm a making-a-statement kind of girl.
That's why I was super excited when Daria Artem of Lady Fortune Cookies joined Tin Shingle. When I found out she could put everything from faces to QR Codes to logos on cookies I nearly have to have a moment of silence for her. (Side note: I LOVE how entrepreneurs and small business owners are creators of such COOL stuff. Take THAT Oreos!)
Fast forward nearly a year and I'm at tea with pregnant-Tin Shingle Pamela Pekerman who always being the classy gal sent me home with a little holiday package. When I opened the bag upon arriving home I found not only a beautiful candle but it was also filled with cookies that were individually wrapped and had her logos on them. Immediately I knew: it had to be Lady Fortunes. I was RIGHT! Not only were they good looking and a fun branding statment, but they were yummy. Sometimes I'm skeptical about how a cookie that looks so good will actually taste but trust me, my taste buds were swooning.
Moral of this member mash up story? Walk don't run and get yourself over to Daria's website which I've linked to HERE! I'm sure there are people you need to say hello or thank you to professionally (editors, producers, your publicist, a blogger, your sales team, your interns) and these are the perfectly branded way to do it!
As for me, I'm going to think of how I can incorporate QR Code Cookies into Tin Shingle's 2013 plans...
