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.

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

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.

Hello Everyone,
I hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful Thursday. I sure am, Thank you for wondering. I have really been on the ball lately. I have found inspiration in many things and have gotten a ton of things accomplished these past few days. It maybe due to desperation, because I have been praying for ideas about designs.

Either you run the day or the day runs you. Jim Rohn
Good Afternoon Everyone,
I hope that everyone had an exciting and extraordinary weekend. I hope your Earth day was one to remember. We always are trying to save the earth here at Merlin Embroidery. It starts with my our earth friendly garments that we promote and recommend to all of our customers and continues everyday when we reuse boxes and recycle all recyclable materials. Embroidery is the most earth friendly type of clothing printing available to date.
I chose this quote for the title because it reminds me of the Latin phrase Carpe Diem or Seize the day. It is important to make everyday count for something. Make sure that we stop and enjoy the simple pleasures in life, cause you never know when it will be your time. Here are a few more inspirational quotes from brainyquotes.com to help you stay motivated and on the path to success.
When you reach the end of your rope, tie a knot in it and hang on.
Thomas Jefferson
Wherever you are - be all there.
Jim Elliot
Who seeks shall find.
Sophocles
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Gordon B. Hinckley
You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.

Action is the foundational key to all success. -Pablo Picasso
Hello Everyone,
I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Mine was good. I worked both days. That is a good weekend to me because I would rather be making money instead of spending it. This week I would like to talk about success and what it takes to achieve it.
You can't just sit around on your butt and wait for success to present it's self to you. You have to go out and hunt it like a cunning, illusive tiger that could turn and bite off your legs at any minute. The trick is, when you feel your tiger biting down on your legs. Slow down, take a minute, step away, and comeback and give it every thing you've got.
Here at Merlin Embroidery we treat every customer like they have been coming here for twenty years. Success to us is having excellent product, excellent customer service, and excellent pricing. It has taken nearly ten years to perfect the perfect system of usability for the embroidery or silk screening customer. Come on down today and talk to us about your project, I think you will be surprised how easy it is.
Here are a couple quotes to keep you motivated and on the road to success.

After I won the Oscar, my salary doubled, my friends tripled, my children became more popular at school, my butcher made a pass at me, and my maid hit me up for a raise.

Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other.
Abraham Lincoln
Belief in oneself is one of the most important bricks in building any successful venture.
Lydia M. Child
Defeat is not the worst of failures. Not to have tried is the true failure.

Develop success from failures. Discouragement and failure are two of the surest stepping stones to success.

We are never content at Merlin Embroidery
Hello Everyone,
I hope your week is going well. I was thinking about it, and I think we as a human species are never content. This in turn makes us constantly try to improve ourselves and our surroundings. I believe this is a necessary God given attribute to help us survive in this world. If you become content, you become docile and unmotivated. We work to live. If you stop working, and just lay around you will die.
Now, I'm not saying work your fingers to the bone and never take a break. I'm just saying, try to stay busy, not only will it keep you out of trouble, but it just might keep you alive. Here at Merlin Embroidery we love to stay busy. Not only does it keep us alive, but it makes the time go faster too. We are always kinda busy embroidering, but if there is a lull in the action we begin cleaning. We really don't like cleaning so bring your embroidery or silk screening order in today. We will have it back to you in about 4 days or less. If you need it faster than that, rush service is available. If you opt for that one we will work all night for you and have it ready in the morning.
Although we joke and have fun, we take our business very seriously. So if you want your embroidery or silk screening job done right the first time, come to Merlin Embroidery. We are in La Mesa across from CostCo. Here are a couple quotes to keep you from becoming content then dying.
