[Project Complete] Oct 25 : $150 : Advertisement for Stellar Construction

[Melissa]

(Admin code added by Abby - 7HA57675F2126505V)

Business is slowing down in our area, so we need a competitive advertisement. One that appeals to upper middle class. We would like to convey clean and refined, something eye catching. On the smaller size I thought maybe something in the background of the words would get good use of a small space.

It will be going in a local paper's "Service Directory".

We would like to see designs in the following 3 sizes:

1. 1.875"w x 1.236"h

2. 1.875"w x 2.62"h

3. 3.75"w x 1.236"h

The directory doesn’t have any color. It’s your typical newspaper in black, gray and white.

The ad should say the following. Feel free to abbreviate or leave out any insignificant info due to the limited space.

- Stellar Construction

- Kitchen and Bathroom Remodeling, Window and Door Installations

- (562) 938-8701

- 816499

- www.stellarconstruction.net

- $1M General Liability Insurance

- References Available

- 10391 Los Alamitos Blvd., Los Alamitos or Serving Los Alamitos and Surrounding Areas

- Pride in workmanship

- Our logo that I will attach shortly.

I look forward to your designs!

Greetings! :cool:

[Melissa]

Thank you for your designs Goodhaus. I see you were able to figure out my logo from our website. The logo I want to use is slightly different (See below). I like how you used a picture from our website as well. I posted a link to that too.

I like the designs although I'm thinking they need something more, and to possibly take off some info. I'm thinking it's too busy with all the info I provided.

Here is a link to the Service Directory where my ad will be going to give an idea what others and our competition is doing:

Also, I might extend the due date.

Hi. Comments are welcomed :)

[jhuggins]

If you like this look, I'll go ahead and mock up the other two sizes to match. Thanks.

Thanks for the feedback—here are some revisions :)

[BlueCherryGraphics]

Hi,

Have you decided to extend the deadline?

If so, let me know the new deadline and I'll update it in your thread title.

[Melissa]

I'm so sorry for the delay! I will have an answer within the next day or so.

[Melissa]

Sorry again for the delay. We've been having trouble with our phone carrier and weren't sure what number to include on the ad. :weep:

We have chosen Goodhaus's design in message #6 with a couple minor changes. :)

1. Can we please have the ad done in this number above and also this one for just in case the problem continues: (562) 842-4876

2. Can you bring down the "Pride in Workmanship" just a bit. The picture was taken before we installed cover plates on the outlets :rolleyes: I'd like to hide those two spots if possible.

3. Change the scope of work to: Kitchens ~ Baths ~ Windows ~ Doors ~ Custom Cabinetry

4. Instead of "Serving Los Alamitos and...." Please put our address: 10391 Los Alamitos Blvd., Los Alamitos, CA 90720

Thank you so much Goodhaus and Congratulations!!!

[Goodhaus]

Thanks for choosing the design laytouts! :)
Here are the changes as per your request.

[Goodhaus]

Also a version with the phone number change just in case.

[Melissa]

Something about the balance doesn't look right with my revisions.

I'd like to go back to the first and just change the wording, keeping the font & size the same:

Kitchens, Baths, Windows, Doors
Custom-Cabinets & Finish Work

Also, I just remembered we need our license # on it somewhere: Lic 816499

Thank you

[Goodhaus]

Sure thing, went ahead and made those revisions. :)

[Goodhaus]

and the other phone # also… :)

[Melissa]

Can I see it saying this:

FULL-SERVICE REMODELER
Kitchens ● Baths ● Windows ● Doors ● Cabinets ● Finish Work

And instead of address: "Local Contractor" and the license # on same line/area??

[Goodhaus]

Here is the heading, sub-heading and other text change revision… :)

[Melissa]

Using the same format (font, style, size, etc.) as the design in message #6...

Kitchens ● Baths ● Cabinetry
Windows ● Doors ● Finish Work

Located in Los Alamitos, CA ● License #: 816499

Thank you for all the revisions Goodhaus

[Goodhaus]

went back to message design #6 with text revisions… :cool:

[Melissa]

Thank you so much Goodhaus. It looks great. If you could just take off the "CA", and the number we're going with is different (562) 842-4881

My email address is melissa@stellarconstruction.net

Thanks again!

[BlueCherryGraphics]
