My First Moo Products Review

 As it is early days with my artistic freelance career one of my objectives is to keep my expenses low. I was in need of promotional products, so I researched a few printing shops and online stores. I came across Moo.

This online design printing store is stylish and very appealing. Sign-up and apply because they offer a sample pack of some their business cards. 

I do like the foil business cards in the free pack however, I knew I could not afford this at first, so I researched what was in my budget and ideal for my illustration needs. 

You can start designing your business cards right away and utilise the save button to your advantage. This gives you time to create more work, edit and resize your designs to place in the designated space areas on the business cards. I love this feature! 

Whilst I was working on more illustrations and artwork to add the design slots I received an email with a discount I could apply to my business cards. This is valuable! Take advantage of great offers like this to help keep your business expenses low on promotional tools. Plus, by going for the cheaper option it is a great way to test the service out.

I went for the Matte Laminate Business Cards with space for fifty designs. I chose my best and diverse designs for the front of the cards and then for the back I kept my brand name, keywords relating to my business and links to my website, social media and email organised as simple as possible for a well-balanced composition. There are quite a few delivery options, so I opted for standard delivery as I was in no rush. 

The package arrived on time and fitted well through the letterbox. No waiting around for the delivery person!

Inside was a rectangle slide box that holds my business cards neatly, organised and compact, making it easy to carry around and hand out to potential clients. Check out my business Moo promotional materials in the images provided.

Once I have run out I will upgrade my business cards and take more advantage of the design spaces with my next order batch. I am thinking the Letterpress or the Gold Foil Business Cards.

I also highly recommend investing in the Moo stickers. It was an affordable treat for my freelance business. I uploaded my logo brand name in black and white and ordered them in soft rounded square stickers. These are a nice touch to the back of my cello bags for packaging up orders for my online stores. The sticker pack is an excellent and low priced promotional item for marketing your business.

Take a look for yourself and browse the vast array of options that Moo.com has to offer. Here is a referral code for your new Moo promotional materials enjoy!

London babyyyy!

 

 

 

 

 

 

The past year I have been going to London. It is one of my favourite places to go. There is always something to see and do. I can and never will be bored of the city. It is an inspiring place and every time I go I make it my mission to do something new.

Lights inspiration

                              

I was sitting on my floor and noticed the light reflecting off a jar on my bookshelf and it was so beautiful I could not resist taking this image. 

                              

Mum was very proud of her Christmas tree display.  

                              

The most amazing Christmas decoration ever! Pretty expensive but ideal tree decoration for a Disney Frozen fan.

Liverpool art and craft fair at st George's Hall

The Liverpool Art and Craft Fair at St George's in Liverpool in December 2013 was festive, busy and had amazing creations on offer. I loved the hustle and bustle. There was a lot of stalls and creatives in St Georges that day I went and my favorites were GeekCycled and SophieGreen.

                 

I got myself two sets of amazing earrings. Rogue and Gambit and the words of Game of Thrones. They do other home ware and accessories too and you can find out more through their twitter and fb. 

I purchased these lovely postcards from Sophie Green. I definitely need one of her prints in my life! Check out Sophie Green's twitter and fb. 

I only went to two art fairs last year and it wasn't enough. So 2014 is the year to get out more, go to galleries, events, markets and art fairs.

A random garden rose.

A hibiscus flower I walked past outside the restaurant in our hotel in Malaga. 

At the beginning of November I spotted these lovely bunch outside a garden on the way to my Nan's. 

Autumn in the garden.

Book shopping!

In need of inspiration? I recommend TK Maxx any day! The books they have are random and inspiring. Most of the time cheaper than other retailers. They had close up books on space and the human body. I love organic shapes. The fashion book 'What on earth are you wearing?' is a lovely encyclopedia sketchbook of fashion.
