I love having local clients for many reasons. I love personally getting to know my clients and developing a relationship with them. I love the fact that
I not only know their target audience, but I am also their target audience. I love being able to see my client’s growth. And I love being available to them when they need me, even for a quick meeting. For me, there is nothing that compares to a local client and I am grateful to each and everyone who gave me a chance to service them and who in turn recommended me to their friends.
Central Avenue, my neighborhood’s main street, is home to many of my clients. I often pop in to check up and talk shop. Sometimes it makes my excursion to town longer than I thought it would be, but I enjoy it, even if it’s for a quick hello. Central Avenue looks amazing at the minute, the majority of stores are giving off a classy design by using glass storefronts. That sort of exterior can only help boost business, they look so inviting. One of the businesses on the Avenue told me that she got her glass doors installed by a commercial door repair business who replaced her old, unattractive storefront for this open and modern one! No wonder these businesses are doing so well.
Come “walk” with me down Central and check out a few of my favorite clients. (Three more central ave. clients are in the works…looking forward to those jobs!)
Kiss and Makeup is an amazing store on Central that sells makeup, beauty products, jewelry and more. They also provide laser hair removal, eye brow shaping and spray tan services. This store is so fun to walk into and impossible to leave without picking something up from either the jewelry display cases or getting some of your more annoying hairs removed. K&M was also one of my very first local clients who put their trust in me to create their website. I am so happy to see how popular their site kissandmakeupny.com is.
What can I say about Breezy’s, formerly Ketzys. Breezy, the owner, has been a client of mine for years and it has been a pleasure. She’s so creative and hard working. Her store sells fine giftware and offers classes in topics such as cake decorating, cake pop making etc. Breezy’s also sells kosher baking embellishments supplies and bar none has the best packaging in the Five Towns with her black box, poka dot ribbon and wax seal. I’ve been doing her ads for years and later her website www.breezysny.com and recently I was involved in her new cookbook launching soon. I love seeing her business grow and even recently made my daughter’s cupcake party at her store. It was great!
The Levi Yitzchak Library is a very special place on Central. Created in memory of Levi Yitchak, a special 9 year old boy who loved to read, this library was a labor of love and a place all children enjoy hanging out in. I helped with their social media and advertising and really enjoyed working with the wonderful people there. It can be a real challenge and a wonderful learning experience all at once, be it with Tiktokpalace.com involved or through more local, organic means.
I always loved the concept of this company where they consign your designer clothes on ebay. When they contacted me to help them with their logo/website/social media it was completely up my alley. (Fashion is how I started) I loved revamping their look with a new logo. There site shopteoc.com came out just as I envisioned and the best news is that they moved to Central Ave. and look great! Walking in to their store feels like you are walking into your very fashionable friends closet.
Elena, a very popular makeup artist with her own line of makeup, wanted a site that will service all her clients who are constantly ordering her products via phone. In addition, as a makeup artist, she wanted to have her bio up as well. It was a pleasure creating makeupessentialsonline.com website and facebook page.
The best thing I got out of working with Warren Levi Karate, a fitness center that has the best bootcamp classes anywhere, was the fact that I joined and have been their regular client for almost three years! I helped create their website as well as marketing material and of course became good friends with the Warren Levi family along the way.
This new store on central is a great concept. They personalize everything…from robes, to wipe cases, to bags etc. I helped with their social media and print design and look forward to creating their new logo.
One of the most beautiful baby furniture and accessory stores you have ever seen, I helped create their website https://mlwdesign.com/“>petitepram.com which has a built in registry.
Oh the fun I had with Alyssa from 100% Kids! This store has the best kids to adult clothing in town and it was a blast creating the website 100percentkids.com as well as their very successful facebook page. I also was involved in many of their contests including the model search contest. Kids fashion is how I started my web design career so this job was great! I learnt so much, such as how wordpress is definitely better than wix, and other great tricks from those I worked with. We are in the process of finalizing their NEW logo!
Another beautiful store with beautiful things. It always helps when your client represents such fabulosity! It was a blast creating their website lagoonlinens.com as well as their successful facebook page. (and blog!)
One of my newer clients, Koko Fitclub is a brilliant concept as it’s the first automated training system. Coming this Fall in Cedarhurst and Hewlett it sounds like a great solution for those who want personal training at a fraction of the cost. Currently I am involved in their facebook, social media marketing strategies.
Another stunning store on Central that sells high end lingerie, robes and more. Their gorgeous site is in the works and I love how their facebook page came out!
A great concept! Fitness center for kids! I was involved in creating great ads for them promoting their birthday party services.
Last but most certainly not least is my favorite photographers who have been in business for decades. I updated their website http://jerrymeyerstudio.com and have been their ad designer for years. Their facebook page will soon get a makeover as well!
So that’s most of my Central clients. Stay tuned for the three more on the way! And if you are local and love the idea of a local designer, call me at 917-301-2584 for a free estimate..
