Good Morning Debi

Do you think if you gave me a 48 hour day, I would get everything done? Nah, I would just cram more work into the time and still not have enough hours in the day -- oh well, it is a good thing I love what I do!

First Up...

Thursday is National Be Heard Day, so I'm doing something a little different this week. Head on over to our instagram profile, on THURSDAY, follow us (if you haven't already) and post about your business in the comments of our BeHeardDay post - you'll know it by the image to right... Let's share the wealth! ... an extra location to share your business for the day!

Happy International Women's Day to all the women subscribed to this newsletter! What (if any) event are you attending? Or have you planned a pamperfest? Or, it is just another day? For me, it is really just another day... I might get to an event! Let me know...

Got a love booking calendars, it makes it easy for people to book appointments. Mine, Mac's and Steve's calendars are quite lively at the moment - our new EMBOSS consulting program has intrigued many, and others are booking for strategy sessions or to learn more about Connectfest - I'm quite excited about this event.. Businesses are quite excited about the content from our 7 speakers as well as the networking opportunities. Scroll down to learn about our MC and her topic at the event!

And, I could really use your help - this is one of those things that the day isn't long enough for. I'm bowling on Saturday for Birchway Niagara - I believe I could use a few sponsors/donations for this worthy cause... Please consider donating a bob or two here. ..

Just a reminder - PRowl Communications, Telltale Studios, Connecting Niagara and Niagara Business Directory have been nominated for the Niagara Community Awards, I would love it if you would take the time to also nominate us - this is how we move to the next round.. We're under services in a variety of categories! Thank you in advance.

Graphic Design Tips for the DIY Entrepreneur

When it comes to branding and marketing, graphic design holds a crucial place. It's not just about making things look pretty; it's about communication, consistency, and making a lasting impression. For those of you diving into DIY graphic design, here are a few tips to keep in mind:

Keep it Simple: The most memorable designs are often the simplest. Focus on clean lines, limited colours, and clear fonts to convey your message without overwhelming your audience.(unlike the graphic above).
Consistency is Key: Your brand's visual identity should be cohesive across all platforms. This consistency helps build recognition and trust with your audience. Use the same colour schemes, fonts, and style guidelines whether you're designing a business card or your website.
Understand Your Audience: Design with your audience in mind. What appeals to them? What are their needs and how can your design meet those needs? Tailoring your design to your audience can significantly increase engagement.
Utilize White Space: Don't be afraid of empty space. White space, or negative space, gives your design breathing room and can help highlight the most important elements of your design.
Learn the Basics of Colour Theory: Colours evoke emotions and convey messages. Understanding colour theory can help you choose a palette that aligns with the message you want to send.

While these tips can guide you on your DIY design journey, there's no substitute for professional expertise. Did you know PRowl Communications began its journey as a graphic design company many moons ago? Our roots are deeply embedded in creating visually compelling, effective designs that speak volumes.

If you're hitting a creative block or need a more sophisticated touch to your designs, we're here to help. Ask us about our monthly graphics packages. We design it all – from logos that leave a lasting impression to brochures that tell your story with elegance and clarity.

Stuck on a design? Don't hesitate to reach out. At PRowl, we believe in empowering businesses with designs that resonate and engage. Let's create something remarkable together.

Shout Out - Feldenkrais® in Niagara

Feldenkrais® in Niagara | Become pain free, confident in your body again. Have the tools to help yourself by moving your body the natural way.

I spent two years struggling with chronic hip and leg pain - visits with osteopaths, physios, RMTs, and several "releasers" (active and fascial) did not help. My function was still not optimal. Fariya and her Feldenkrais® practice offered me something completely different.

Rack Card & Business Card Design

We loved working on this project for Fariya - redesigning her rack card and business cards.
