Recommended Vendors, Services, Websites & Downloads
Business Cards / Print Materials
Moo.com – Business Cards & Moo Mini Cards (my jewelry cards) read their blog to see the creative ways you can use these cards as great marketing tools
Vista Print – good quality, great price! You can even get a number of free pieces of marketing material if you don’t mind handing out their logo too.
Websites
- Mode Mayhem (NOT SAFE FOR WORK) – If you are offended by partial, implied or full nudity then I don’t recommend visiting or joining model mayhem.com but it is a great response to connect with models, photographer and fashion designers in the area to network and set up or become involved in some low cost (or TFP/TFCD) photo shoots. There are plenty of lovely models that prefer to keep their clothes on so don’t let my earlier comments make you think it’s some nasty website.
- Meetup.com – This is how I became involved with Lisa at Abielle and it has great resources for you to reach out to photographers and other jewelry and crafters.
