A business that makes nothing but money is a poor business. Henry Ford

Hi Everyone,
           I hope you all are having a wonderful week. Over here at Merlin Embroidery we are having a very busy week. We have had all kinds of orders. Plus we are remodeling our website and exploring new ways to expand our SEO and SEM. We attended a seminar on Tuesday for Chamber Zoom. It is a new software provided by San Diego Chamber of Commerce. It is a media management system that allows you to manage your email, contacts, blog, twitter and Facebook. It also allows you to do some email marketing with mass email sending. This is a very useful program and is free with membership.
          We do much more than make money here at Merlin Embroidery. We make new friends and business associates with every new customer that puts in an order. We learn something new just about everyday and we teach interns the screen-printing and embroidery business. Though we would like to say money doesn't play a big role here, we would be lying. It does play a significant roll because we would have neither materials nor employees without it, but we try to not let it control our thoughts or emotions. To help us stay motivated we often refer to brainyquotes.com. Here are a couple quotes to keep you motivated.

Hi Everyone,
              Sorry the blog is so late this week. I have been really busy designing the new web page and finding new ways to improve our SEO. We recently contracted with Reach Local who is going to handle our SEM. They will be putting a beautiful ad for our business on the side of the google search results when you search for something relevant. I designed three compositions that will rotate. It sounds pretty promising, I will let you know how it turns out. It is also really nice to have the ear of Bob Phillips from Reach Local, not only is he helping with our SEM but has also suggested some good ways to improve our SEO, such as the like button at the top of the page. We appreciate all the help Bob.
             We are all working hard here at Merlin Embroidery to bring you the best quality product for the cheapest price. We don't claim to be the cheapest embroidery/print shop in town. However, we will bring you the best deal. If you want it cheap then you are free to go somewhere cheap. If you want the best quality product for the lowest price possible then we are the place for you. We love happy customers and we believe that if we do a poor job, just to fit it in a small budget, not only it will reflect badly on us when you tell people who did it, but you will be displeased with the poor quality and workmanship of your project.
             We like to stay motivated in our lives here at Merlin Embroidery. The best was we have found to stay motivated is reading and thinking about quotes from very inspirational people. My favorite website for these quotes is brainyquotes.com. They have a very wide selection and quotes from just about everyone you can think of. Here are a few that we really enjoyed.   

A real decision is measured by the fact that you've taken a new action. If there's no action, you haven't truly decided.
Tony Robbins

Beliefs have the power to create and the power to destroy. Human beings have the awesome ability to take any experience of their lives and create a meaning that dis-empowers them or one that can literally save their lives.
Tony Robbins

Too many of us look upon Americans as dollar chasers. This is a cruel libel, even if it is reiterated thoughtlessly by the Americans themselves.
Albert Einstein

True art is characterized by an irresistible urge in the creative artist.
Albert Einstein

True religion is real living; living with all one's soul, with all one's goodness and righteousness.
Albert Einstein

Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value.

A man should look for what is, and not for what he thinks should be. Albert Einstein

Hello everyone,
        This was a memorable weekend with the death of Osama Bin Laden. It has taken over 10 years to catch this over zealous megalomaniac. Due to his wealth and the mutual hatred of America in the region where he was hiding, he was able to evade arrest since he masterminded the terrorist bombing of the Trade Center Twin Towers on September 11, 2001.
        We at Merlin Embroidery take no pleasure from the death of any human being. However we are relieved that we no longer have to fear attacks from him, and now we maybe able to start healing from that terrible incident that happened on 9/11.
        To help celebrate this day we are offering 25% off your set-up fee, if you mention this blog. We are a San Diego based Embroidery and Silk Screening company, that has been excistant since 1992. We are devoted to the happiness of our client. If there is ever anything you would like to see changed or if you have any other comments don't hesitate to call us at (619) 466-9712 or email us at merlinemb@gmail.com or visit our website at merlinemb.com.
