Peanuts

I received Schulz and Peanuts A biography by David Michaelis as a birthday gift. The book is outstanding and would suggest anyone that enjoys biographies about artists, entrepreneurs or just people with a dream to check it out. This is very detailed book and offers explanations and lineage to all of the Peanuts characters.

To purchase the book check out:

Holiday Messages can Help Raise Awareness

Shaffer Design Works assists many different companies with their marketing strategies and overall advertising and marketing messaging. A sample of the work that the team at Shaffer Design Works produces can be found here. A financial institution located in Akron, Ohio needed our help when faced with a quick holiday newsletter.


Marketing Tips:
When considering the execution of newsletters, direct mail or any correspondence that will be sent around or during the holiday season be sure to allow enough time for fulfillment as holiday time is the busiest time of the year for the United States Postal Service.

Also, when writing and designing marketing pieces it is always a good time to let your customers, users and associates know what your business is up to and how they can participate in any holiday activities.
