Keep moving forward. Every time you look back you slow down. -Anthony Stuart

Never forget the customers are keeping you in business

 Too often in doing our jobs we forget that the customers are paying our checks. We get tired and irritated at unknowledgeable or annoying customers. We have to remember that if it wasn't for them we wouldn't be in business. So we should be grateful for every customer that decides to give us their business no matter the circumstance. Here at Merlin Embroidery we do everything in our power to make sure that every customer leaves satisfied and with a smile on their face. So if you have a design or an idea for a design you need embroidered on something, come to Merlin Embroidery, where we will get it done right the first time. Here are a couple quotes to keep you motivated.

Business is heating up

          Business is heating up here at Merlin Embroidery. We have orders coming in from up and down the west coast. We can do orders in person or over e-mail. We are completely capable of doing an entire order without ever having met the customer in person. We are always really busy in the Embroidery, and screen-printing business, so please allow at least a week turn around. We always have rush service for 1.5 times the regular rate. Have a good Labor Day weekend everyone, and remember DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE!  Mention this the title of the blog and get 25% off set-up fee. Here's the weekly parable to get you through the weekend and next week.

A PENCIL MAKER TOLD THE PENCIL 5 IMPORTANT LESSONS JUST BEFORE PUTTING IT IN THE BOX :

1.) EVERYTHING YOU DO WILL ALWAYS LEAVE A MARK.

2.) YOU CAN ALWAYS CORRECT THE MISTAKES YOU MAKE.

3.) WHAT IS IMPORTANT IS WHAT IS INSIDE OF YOU.

4.) IN LIFE, YOU WILL UNDERGO PAINFUL SHARPENINGS, WHICH WILL ONLY MAKE YOU BETTER.

5.) TO BE THE BEST PENCIL, YOU MUST ALLOW YOURSELF TO BE HELD AND GUIDED BY THE HAND THAT HOLDS YOU.


We all need to be constantly sharpened. This parable may encourage you to know that you are a special person, with unique God-given talents and abilities. Only you can fulfill the purpose which you were born to accomplish. Never allow yourself to get discouraged and think that your life is insignificant and cannot be changed and, like the pencil, always remember that the most important part of who you are, is what's inside of you.
