Back to the real world …

Exciting News No Comments

Ronnie and I returned yesterday from San Miguel de Allende, Mexico for my beautiful cousin Amy’s wedding. We left last Wednesday and have had nonstop fun since. San Miguel is a gorgeous town with a really cool vibe, and we spent most of our days drinking coffee on the square downtown. We will post more photos on our facebook page soon, so be our friend if you aren’t already.

We came back home (reluctantly) to a puppy who did not want to leave her grandparents’ house and a box full of business cards on our doorstep. We are incredibly pleased with the way they turned out, and we will certainly be handing them out a lot more than our last batch of cards.

This post will be fairly short because I am still exhausted from too much fun on our trip, and since we’ve been out of the country for the last week, I should probably catch up on actual work. As always, thanks for reading.

Sincerely,
Meredith

The Busiest of Bees

We have already been overwhelmed with positive response about our new website, and for that, we thank you all. Ronnie and I both feel incredibly blessed to have such supportive people surrounding us all the time.

We’ve had quite a busy week, and it has been very productive. We are almost ready to go live with L2 Marketing’s new site, but at this point, all that’s left are the tiny, tedious tasks which are a necessary evil in actually getting a site online. Until recently, I never realized exactly what went into building a website … as it turns out, it takes more than just making it look pretty.

We also ordered new, redesigned business cards a couple days ago, and it feels like I’m waiting for Christmas morning. We ordered a ton of business cards about a year ago (when we first started the company), but this time we ordered spot UV coating on them, plus I get some with my name on them. I’ve never had business cards before, and it really excites me that at the top it will say, “Meredith Mason, owner.” The minute they get in, I think everyone in Tyler will know because I’ll probably be going door-to-door handing them out and asking strangers to admire the inevitable prettiness that will be our business cards.

I also just set up a facebook page for Silversoap, so if you want to be in the loop, you should become our fan. We’re still tweaking it, so it’s a little rough around the edges at the moment (although Ronnie has been tweaking our logo for the last year, so I doubt many things we create will ever be completely satisfactory to him). Let us know if you have any cool ideas for our facebook … we’re always open to suggestions on improvement.

Thanks for reading!

Welcome to Silversoap Media

Exciting News No Comments

Welcome to the totally redesigned Silversoap Media website, now complete with a blog that we intend to update regularly to keep you informed on our happenings. We’ve had a number of exciting developments for our business lately, such as acquiring a downtown office. For the last year, we’ve been working out of our home, but we found an amazing building that has been recently renovated to look fairly modern while still maintaining an old, historic feel. Ronnie and I instantly fell in love with it, and we are privileged to share the office with our good friend and brilliant photographer, Allen Arrick.

Another major occurrence in our business has been Ronnie taking the plunge and making Silversoap his full-time job, instead of just a side project. We are incredibly grateful to all the business owners in East Texas who have allowed us to be this successful, and particularly the people at L2 Marketing who have asked us to provide websites for many of their clients. We are currently developing L2’s own website, so keep checking our portfolio page for their name … we think it will be one of the best sites we’ve ever done. I was thrilled when they told me to “get creative” with all the text on their site, and I was able to write everything from standard information on the main page to a fairy tale about how they formed their business.

We hope you’ll let us know what you think about our new site or tell us about yourself if it’s your first time to visit. Feel free to also come by our office at 418 S. Broadway, suite 200, or come see me at Starbucks on Hwy. 64 and Loop 323 … I’ll be the one in the black apron downing shots of espresso.
