			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With businesses having to shrink their budget for any sort of advertising, one of the items that might not make the cut is the local chamber of commerce membership. Before you throw the membership form in the trash, lets analyze the benefits.</p>
<p><strong>What is the fee for joining the chamber of commerce?</strong><br />
Usually a range of $150-over $1000 for different benefits.</p>
<p><strong>What are the benefits of joining a chamber?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Advertising opportunities</strong>-if you are a business to business company, you have a list of potential customers at your fingertips in the members directory. Some chambers have banner advertising on their website and send out monthly newsletters with ad spots.</li>
<li><strong>Targeted Networking</strong>-There are weekly or monthly events for members only to get out and network with other business owners. Where else are you going to find potential customers gathering in one area?</li>
<li><strong>Member to member discounts</strong>-Because you are part of the chamber, you will have access to some very attractive discounts in many different industries.</li>
<li><strong>Discounts on major expenses</strong>-As a member, your chamber might have discounts on phone/internet service, office supplies, and insurance to name a few.</li>
<li><strong>Website traffic increase and search engine boost</strong>-Because the chamber will link to your website, you will receive traffic! The Chamber websites have all sorts of relevant content relating to business, so you should receive a modest boost in search results.</li>
<li><strong>Get active in the community</strong>-You can help your community grow which will trickle down to help your business grow. Customers like businesses who are involved in their community. Plus, if you are a home business, community activities get you out of the house and allows you to talk to people which is one of the best ways to gain business.</li>
</ul>
<p>If you haven&#8217;t saved enough from those benefits, here&#8217;s the estimated ROI breakdown:</p>
<p>Average profit per customer: $150<br />
Average cost of Chamber Membership: $350<br />
Amount of customers to payoff membership: 3</p>
<p>For best results from your membership, become involved in the chamber and attend as many events as you can.</p>
<div id="attachment_121" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 211px"><a href="http://www.graphicdesigngreenville.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/index_r1_c1.gif"><img class="size-medium wp-image-121" title="Greater Greer Chamber of Commerce" src="http://www.graphicdesigngreenville.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/index_r1_c1.gif" alt="Greater Greer Chamber of Commerce" width="201" height="123" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Greater Greer Chamber of Commerce</p></div>
<p>I recently joined my local chamber, Greater Greer Chamber of Commerce. My membership will be paid off just by the membership coupon book! I also get a free banner ad for the year. Visit <a title="Visit the Greater Greer Chamber of Commerce" href="http://www.greerchamber.com/JointheChamber.cfm" target="_blank">Greater Greer Chamber of Commerce Website</a> to check out the benefits. Here&#8217;s a <a title="Photo Graphics Membership Listing" href="http://www.greerchamber.com/member_detail.cfm?m=8407" target="_self">sample listing</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just finished up the Rosewood Properties Design. They needed something that conveyed their high quality custom homes in Greenville SC. After a few revisions that played with circles, ribbons, house elevations, and leaves, we decided to go with a simple but classy, personal script font and a serif font for the &#8220;communities&#8221;. The end result is below.</p>

<p>Rosewood Communities trusted Photo Graphics to create a blog to give home buyers their most up-to-date information on communities and new homes in Greenville, SC.</p>
<p>Visit Rosewood Communities blog <a title="Rosewood Communities - News on New homes" href="http://www.newhomes-greenvillesc.com" target="_blank">here</a></p>
<p>Photo Graphics can set up blogs for less money than you think. Blogs are great because once they are set up, anybody can write a post! For Rosewood&#8217;s site, I invite the new home builders to post incentives for buyers as well as write posts on new communities progress.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Cabinet and Tops came to me with a need for a new logo and complete revamp of their branding. Myself along with the owner Shawn have been working hard on getting advertisements, business cards and their website all looking consistent throughout their marketing materials.</p>
<div id="attachment_24" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 310px"><a class="shutterset" href="http://www.graphicdesigngreenville.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/cabinet-and-tops.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-24" title="Cabinets and Tops of the Upstate Logo" src="http://www.graphicdesigngreenville.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/cabinet-and-tops-300x175.jpg" alt="Cabinets and Tops of the Upstate Logo" width="300" height="175" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Cabinets and Tops of the Upstate Logo</p></div>
<p>Above is their new logo. They wanted something that reflected their service to high quality home builders. I wanted to create something unique so I took a script font and modified it quite a bit in Adobe Illustrator. I took it into Adobe Photoshop after to add shadding and create a more photorealistic logo. It can however be simplified for use on t-shirts and vehicles.</p>
<p>Cabinets and Tops is located in Greenville, SC. Visit their <a title="Cabinets and Tops of the Upstate Greenville" href="http://www.cabinets-tops-upstate.com" target="_blank">website here</a>.</p>
