Hello Everyone,
Sorry for the delay in writing my blog. I just got the new website up. It is MerlinEmbroidery.com. You should defiantly check it out. We have been working on a huge 6,000 piece order for a Catholic School. I can't say which one cause they went through someone else. If you get an embroidery job done in San Diego or El Cajon there is a very good chance that we are doing it, no matter where you take it. So you might as well skip the middle man and take your embroidery job to us.
We do Custom Embroidery on hats, jackets, tshirts, polo shirts, dress shirts and much more. We also do Screen Printed tshirts, Silk-Screening, and Graphic Design in San Diego. We try to stay motivated here at Merlin Embroidery. Here are a few quotes to keep you motivated too.

Good business generates more business- Anthony Stuart
Here at Merlin Embroidery we firmly believe that if you do business right, word of mouth will spread and more and more business will come your way. However if you do the opposite by trying to cheat or get something over on your customer, Bad word of mouth will spread and you will surely go under. That is why we do every order like there is a million dollars on the line. You will consistency get the same excellent service and product every time at Merlin Embroidery.
The ordering procedure at Merlin Embroidery goes something like this: If you have a logo, bring it in as a jpg, psd, ai,or pdf file. If not, come on in and our graphic designer will work with you to create the perfect logo for your business. You can also send it in a email to merlinemb@gmail.com.
Once you have your logo, pick something out of our many catalogs or buy your own cloths and bring them in. After you have talked to Kevin about the size and stitch count of your order, he will give you a very reasonable quote. If you want to proceed, we will start your order and you will have it back between 5 and 7 working days. If you need it in a hurry, rush service is always available.
We like to stay motivated here at Merlin Embroidery. Here are a few quotes from brainyquotes.com to keep you motivated as well.

The new site is almost up!
Hello Everyone,
It has been an interesting couple of weeks. Sorry I haven't written in a few weeks. I have been learning more of the shop. Have have learned how to load a design, hoop hats, and how to embroider puff embroidery. That is the embroidery (usually on hats) that puffs out a little. It is a very interesting process. For those of you that are new to this blog, my name is Anthony Stuart. I am the graphic designer/ I.T. Guy here at Merlin Embroidery. I have been an artist my whole life, but actually started to go to school for graphic design only about a year ago. I will have my associates in graphic design in about two months. Then I will then proceed into the bachelor program for 3D animation or web design, I haven't decided.
I really like Merlin Embroidery and don't plan on leaving any time soon. Kevin, Jeremy and all the of the employees here are beyond nice. They will go out of their way to make you as happy as possible. We don't try to cheat or get anything over on the customer. We believe in honesty and quality here at Merlin and that is something all of us here practice in every aspect of our lives. Anything that should be given through Love can not be gained any other way.
The new website is almost done. We are just working out the last few kinks. It should be up and running by the end of next week so look for it. It will be at merlinembroidery.com. There is only a landing page there now, but keep your eyes open cause it will be coming your way soon.
Motivation is very important to us here at Merlin Embroidery. One way we like to stay motivated is inspirational quotes. Here are a few quotes from my favorite quote website brainyquote.com

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.

A small leak can sink a great ship.
Benjamin Franklin
Absence sharpens love, presence strengthens it.

Admiration is the daughter of ignorance.

All mankind is divided into three classes: those that are immovable, those that are movable, and those that move.
Benjamin Franklin
All wars are follies, very expensive and very mischievous ones.

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.
