Namaro Graphic Designs wishes everyone the best in 2009! Look out for a year of celebration. We are turning 20 in 09!!!!!!

Figuring out Twitter

So I have a new twitter account: My name is "namaro". I have been reading a lot about how twitter can help businesses and non-profits connect and succeed at what they are trying to accomplish.

Here is what I have found out (for now):
1. Instant gratification
2. Instant solutions and answers to questions
3. Non-stop contact with clients (if they are unhappy they can tell you right away and you can fix it for them before they go somewhere else or word gets out. If they are happy word gets out.)
4. If you are a non-profit you can keep in contact with your supporters and direct them to your website constantly. (for ex: Conference / press releases / News Briefings)
5. Direct people to good causes
6. Check out what people are talking about
7. Tell your story
8. Send out promotions
9. Mobilize people
10. Instant survey
11. Build relationships

Logos that didn't make it #2. Rate it. Buy it.

These logos were never picked by our clients. If you want to adopt one, they are available for a very reasonable fee and are adaptable to suit your business. Give us a call and give them a home ;)

Drinks To Kiss 2008 Goodbye

Mistletoe (Nadine's favorite)
Mix 1 oz. tequila, ½ oz. triple sec, ½ oz. pomegranate juice together. Fill glass with champagne. Kissing will begin shortly.

Pointsettia (Holiday party favorite)
Mix ½ oz. cointreau and 3 oz. cranberry juice together. Fill glass with champagne. Absolutely delicious. Plan for people to drink pitchers of this stuff.

Hot Chocolate with Brandy (Terri's favorite)
Heat 1 cup whole milk and ¼ cup cream. Whisk in either 3 oz. melted dark chocolate or 2T liquid chocolate into milk. Add 2T brandy when heated to desired temp. Kahlua also works nicely!

Killer Egg Nog (Molly's Favorite?)
Add pinch of nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice and clove to 1 cup eggnog base (Stewart’s brand is excellent). Mix in 1 oz. bourbon, 1 oz. rum and ½ oz. cognac. You will start to feel very warm and fuzzy halfway through your second mug.

Snowball (Your favorite?)
Mix 1-1/2 oz. good gin (bad gin is worse than rotgut), ½ oz. anise liqueur and ½ oz. cream in a shaker with ice. Strain out ice and serve in chilled glass. Watch out, these hit with a snowball-like intensity.

Spicy Martini (Justin's favorite?)
Mix 2 oz. good gin, 2 oz. apple cider, 3/4 oz. fresh orange
and a splash of maple syrup in a shaker with ice. Strain out ice and serve in chilled glass. Martini, martooni, martinni…

Top 10 Company Party No-No’s:

1. Karaoke and alcohol do not mix.
2. Tabletop dancing stays in Vegas.
3. Discussing your 401K.
4. Kissing that cute co-worker passionately under the mistletoe.
5. Avoid low-cut dresses and plaid pants.
6. Only groove if you have the moves.
7. Bringing your Bluetooth headset.
8. Don’t drink then drive.
9. Don’t be a grump.
10. Don’t bitch about your job since you still have one.

Namaro website

Yup. The Namaro web site is down. On purpose!

The day Obama is sworn in, we are revamping our site to reflect our "Get ready, Get set and GO" campaign that celebrates our 20th anniversary. 20 in 09 on 1/20/09.
