As-sallaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmahtullahi Wa Barakatuh,
It seems like only yesterday, we were just writing to introduce ourselves. Wait a minute, it was yesterday! Anywho, today we met up with the fantabulous Mr. M to try and finalize our first promotional piece. You see, yesterday, during a much-deserved work break, we decided to change the original color of our introductory postcard. At first, we were just going to stick with a simple gray front and back with a quick introduction. After speaking to an employee at FedEx/Kinkos the price went up from .09 cents a copy to .89 cents a copy! Okay, this is a brand new venture and we’re investing all of our savings into this, we CANNOT afford $890 for postcards. That’s just ridiculous. As if that wasn’t bad enough, come to find out there are restrictions on postcards that we hadn’t incorporated into our original design. Amazing Mr. M to the rescue.
Walhamdullillah, we had to take a time out and make a really good salat because we were starting to get discouraged, but, Allah is Merciful! We found a place online that Mr. M had used previously that offered the company an amazing price on the postcards and business cards, and they turn out an awesome product.
So off to the Square to have some awesome food and talk over some more design aspects. We even brought mock-ups for the website to tear apart. We basically finalized the wording on the back, switched to colors around to see how it looked and talked about the prospect of using promotional photos for the website. Insha’Allah, we’re keeping in mind the duaa about images and are trying to keep everything in compliance with Quran and Sunnah. Check back soon to read about today from Mr. M’s perspective and see what he’s working on. We’re meeting up again on Monday. Yeah it’s Christmas but so what, we don’t celebrate that holiday anyway! Another reason why being Muslim is awesome!
Sallaam!
