Happy Holidays from the MayeCreate Team!
Holiday season at MayeCreate means a few things.
- We’ll be in and out of the office a bit more than usual. Marie and Monica will be taking a bit of a break between Christmas and New Years and Stacy will be in and out of the office periodically during the entire week. Please feel free to email us if you need assistance. We’ll all still be available, just not as readily as usual. If you need immediate assistance you may call the Tranquility office at 573-443-3983 and they’ll track one of us down.
- We’re too proud of our fun word art Christmas cards, designed by our new designer, Laura, with a surprise snow flake cut out activity on the inside. So if we were not previously convinced of our own cleverness we would be now. We hope you all enjoy these fun artsy cards as much as we do!
- We are thankful for your business this year, for believing in our company and helping us achieve success. We wish you a safe, healthy and lovely holiday season!

So it took us a minute. The audio and video needed love. Here’s the fully loved, edited and super fun open house “commercial”. We’d like to give a big thanks to our “in studio audience” the Chamber Ambassadors.

You’ve heard about or seen those pixelated squares they call QR codes, but what are they, what do they do and how do they work?
QR, or Quick Response, codes are an emerging marketing tool utilizing smartphones’ capabilities to scan an image, store data, and access the internet. QR codes are images that tell your smartphone to open a specific webpage on its web browser when they are “read” by a QR Reader. Common uses include links to contact information, details about a special event or an advertisement for current promotions or coupons. Anyone can create custom QR code and they can be shared in a variety of ways.
Common Uses & How QR Codes Are Shared
QR codes can be used for a variety of things you want to promote/share, such as:
- coupons
- benefits
- specials
- events
- contact information
- directions or maps
- porfolios & examples
- landing pages
- … the list goes on!
QR codes can be shared on printed material, for example business cards, resumes and posters or digitally, on computer screens or another handheld device.

You may have noticed a new icon displaying in your search results. I know we all feel a little social media-ed to death at this point, everyday promoting your website gets a bit more like running for homecoming queen, but don’t discount this friendly little addition (pardon the pun). Read More >

Ultimately when making a decision about what to name your business consider the big factors:
- your audience
- how well do they know your product or service
- how you will your market your business
- if you plan to eventually sell the organization
Naming a business after yourself doesn’t mean you’re all about you; it can be a good decision for your business in many cases. Don’t shy away from it because you think it’s too prideful or too simple. Read More >

Support the Ideas, Beliefs and Actions Your Customers Support.
In my quest for a new coffee shop I now know I have found a home. I had my doubts a few mornings and my husband was opposed at first but is coming around as I bribe him with gourmet beans.
As I walked into the shop this morning I looked to my left. A blue square of paper taped to the window caught my eye.
I had never seen the icon before but I know immediately what it meant. And my heart welled in appreciation. My coffee shop (yes it’s mine now) had taken the time to print out this lovely supportive icon and put it in their window, welcoming nursing mothers to come in, pull up a rocking chair and nurse their babies.
THANK YOU!
As nursing mother to 7 month old Ellis I have felt the ups, downs and frustrations of all nursing mothers, come close to quitting and yet still drag my pump to work daily. I’ve felt the support of other moms and websites yet had to pump in bathroom stalls and nurse in dark corners. To be given the support of a business is a wonderful welcome feeling.
Society tells me, “you should nurse your child, it’s healthier for you and the baby.” While in fact I hear, “Nursing is best but do it at home, no one wants to see you feeding your child.” As if the act is some type of terrible PDA.
My mother always told me, “there’s a time and a place for everything.” I still believe she’s correct, though there are times in a mothers life that time and place are not an option, your baby cries, “EAT!” And you just search for an acceptable location. Now I know another one.
Moral of the story, I support the coffee shop that supports me.
Thanks again and order some new mugs, I want to proudly sport your logo on mine!

I found a disappearing ink marker in my pen jar this morning and had to giggle. This pen has been living in my jar since I operated MayeCreate from my home about 5 years ago. The sight of it made my fingers itches to grab some material and start sewing. Instead I headed to the keyboard with a new found inspiration.

Marie's design for the new MayeCreate website home page.
It’s true the cobbler’s children have no shoes. And we’re calling ourselves out. I admit we’ve had the same website for three years now. We’re in the website comfort zone. We like the pictures; we like the colors, even the fonts are pretty okay. We added on a blog and a resources section that’s quite frankly gotten out of control. Even I can’t find what I’m looking for sometimes! So the kamikaze web development must end.
I’m writing to tell you about our website goals so that you can hold us to them. When we do website design for others we make sure they don’t stray too far from the yellow brick road. Now we need your help to keep us from being attacked by those darn flying monkeys.
Our revamped website will reach the following goals:
