Green Thumb Gardening Coach

A Growing Business

Several months ago, we were approached by a potential client (recommended to us by another client, but that’s another story…) seeking assistance in launching and presenting her new business. Jen Kirkpatrick had decided to tap into her passion and years of experience in gardening and horticulture, an entrepreneurial drive, and a love of working with people, and create Green Thumb Gardening Coach – offering gardening and landscaping assistance, education, direction and motivation to others.

Tilling, Planting and Fertilizing

Jen had a great business idea and great skills and knowledge with which to work, but she was looking for a (literal) ground-up approach to get her business started and promoted. We worked with her to come up with a logo and overall branding and image style that reflected her business, and provided our custom photography services to visually capture Jen, her business and her passion.

From there we created her initial marketing pieces to allow her to approach potential clients, including a custom, easily-updated dynamic website, business cards and magnetic vehicle signage.

Finally, we helped Jen “fertilize” her marketing and promotional growth efforts by implementing an initial social media marketing strategy (including blogging, Twitter and an RSS feed) to help her publicize and grow her business.

Growth and Propagation

Properly prepared, planted and nurtured, Jen’s business has really started to grow. Her vehicle signage gets her name, number and message in front of hundreds (if not thousands) of potential customers each day. Through incidental contacts and networking during her normal daily activities, she’s promoting her business via word-of-mouth and with distribution of her business cards, and her website continues to enjoy increasing traffic. Most recently, one of our primary online sources for Web tools and technology selected GreenThumbGardeningCoach.com as one of their feature Showcase websites, putting Jen and her business in front of thousands of additional sets of eyes.

Congratulations, Jen! You’re off and running, and we’re thrilled and honored to be your partner in the process.

Sean Ory, owner/founder of Bridge Fitness, was referred to us by one of our wonderful clients from the Chicago area. Sean just recently relocated from there to Arizona and was looking for some visual marketing help for his in-home personal training business. We went to work to help create a look that reflected Sean’s business image and message – strong, effective and sporty, but also warm and friendly. The result was a logo, business cards and web site that, we’re proud to say, blew him away.

We think Sean is one of the nicest people we’ve met. And, he really knows his stuff. If you’ve ever considered hiring a personal trainer – or even if you haven’t, you’ll definitely want to check him out.

“My dream was to create my own in-home personal training business. I like to think I know what it takes to help people live healthier lives through exercise, but how to get that message to the rest of the Phoenix area was my biggest obstacle. Thank goodness I met Lori at Visage Creative. After sitting down and talking with her about my vision, Lori was able to create a logo and business card that absolutely blew me away. She captured the essence of the service I wanted to provide: a friendly, professional in-home personal training company that had the best interests of its clients at heart. It’s amazing how that message can be captured with a logo, color scheme and lay-out of a business card. Lori hit it out of the ballpark. WAY OUT!!! As soon as I received the card, I knew I had to have Lori and Chris help me with my website. I know that decision on my part was the best decision I’ve made in my professional life. They worked with me on what I had developed on my own and created a site that made me literally jump up and down with excitement the first time I saw it. Simply incredible! I really don’t know how else to describe how pleased I was with their work. But, believe it or not, what was even more impressive than the product they put together was Lori and Chris’ customer service. Their guidance of how to create and manage the website, their sharing of steps to take to help make a small business successful, plus being so accessible and friendly have made me realize that Visage Creative was the best investment I could have ever made for my personal training business dream. I am so thankful to be working with Lori and Chris at Visage Creative and I highly recommend giving them a call if you want your small business dreams realized.” ~ Sean Ory, Certified Personal Trainer, Bridge Fitness

Juanderful Work Enterprises hails from Austin, Texas and this client came to us for help in getting his new business up and running. Hard work, honesty, integrity and quality is the name of the game for them and they wanted their marketing materials to help get that message across. So we created a logo that “certified” them as the four-star business they are – and along with the logo came business cards, letterhead, a splash web page, truck magnets, and yard signs. We loved helping get this business off to a “Juanderful” start!
