I have to say...I really enjoy receiving the elf design newsletter each month and I really like the Not Just Pretty blog information...you really pack it full of great USEFUL information for any small business owner wanting to increase their business exposure.

I read your article correlating site design and house architecture and so enjoyed the metaphor that I went to your site. I'm really impressed with your work and inspired to learn more about color usage in corporate branding, specifically.
...I'm going to sign up for your newsletter now.

"I love elf design's newsletter, Stand Out. Its quick, clear, incisive approach to business branding and differentiation has helped me focus on what's most important right now."
Nancy Ross, Nancy Ross Coaching
I very much enjoyed your newsletter this morning. So many of today's ezines contain nothing useful. Yours is a refreshing change. Helpful info on working with design and designers. Brava.
Cheers

"elf design's newsletter is a valuable resource for me and my clients, especially when creating new or more effective websites and collaterals. Erin's articles are well written, relevant and convenient to share. They provide backup and reference, in layman's terms, for better understanding the logic behind my work and recommendations (copy writing and design content) and for their future self-made changes."
Kathryn Smith, KAS Marketing
"I love reading the elf design Newsletter because its' useful and plentiful information always has the audience at heart. Its clear from the genuine tone of the newsletter and the copy on Erin's web site that she truly wants her clients to succeed. And to go that extra personable mile, she ends it with a fabulous recipe. It adds the human touch something missing from most e-newsletters I receive."
Julianne Nardone, Designing Words
"If given the choice, rather than hearing, 'What a gorgeous outfit!'
we women would prefer to hear, 'You look wonderful.'
Similarly, I prefer that the design of my business promotions
motivate people to buy, rather than to simply comment on the
beauty of the typefaces I've selected. That's why I'm a huge fan
of elf design's newsletter."
Kare Anderson, author of LikeABILITY & SmartPartnering
"I just got the most recent of the regular elf-designs e-mails that you send out, and I thought I should drop you a line to tell you how awesome I think they are. Each one is so chock full of useful information!
Thanks for sending it to me."

Over the weekend I studied your last issue of the newsletter, what a great job!
It's been running through my mind ever since. This morning we were talking about a place for eats and drinks that we had "discovered" last year on a week-long trip to Sacramento, and I could really see how the menu, the murals, even the servers' demeanor did an excellent job of defining and differentiating their brand. I'd be willing to bet there's no other place like that. These people obviously didn't say "so and so has a model that works, lets do something like that here..."
So it struck me that the overall brand has to be communicated not only to potential customers/clients, but also to anyone who is responsible for delivering any aspect of the product or service.
Thank you for a great, enlightening, enriching issue! And thanks again for the referral!!!

"Erin is at the top of her game. Having consulted with Erin on several occassions, she takes no short cuts with providing services for clients. She is extremely knowledgeable, creative, and professional. Best of all, I appreciate her laser-like, straightforward approach to getting small business owners what they need. I recommend Erin without reserve."
I especially want to acknowledge my sincere gratitude for all you have offered in advice and in posts and on your blog. Your information is invaluable and I have learned a great deal. I can't do all that I've learned from you but try as I might!!! If I counted every dollar for every hour I pussy-footed around changing my blog template- which still is sucky, not signing up for emailbrain sooner- trying to do it my way to save a few $$, and trying to do the amazon thing on my website I could have bought a Lexus!!!
I am very grateful for the time and effort you take to respond to questions. You are truly, truly talented.
Maggie F. Keenan, givingadvice
A big thanks to you for your web site and the information you offer to others. It is most helpful to me. Thanks for caring enough to share yourself and your knowledge.
I am an executive coach and trainer in Homewood AL who has had difficulty deciding what and how to create a website. Your designs were very clear and specific. Because they are, I was able to 'inscribe my thoughts' inside a 'web box' (that's my name for it, anyway).
In addition, I was able to 'see' how to compose the home page while limiting my more lengthy discourse to specific described pages.
Kyle DeLoach
I have been really impressed with your site ever since I first found it a couple of months ago. You seem to really know what you're talking about and have a genuine desire to help people in their businesses.
Allison Chambers
Just letting you know I really like your website and your work. Plus I like how you use "elf" (a nick of mine).
Just a note to say "well done"... and, don't ask how, 'cause I'm not even sure which part did it, but your site fills me with hope and a renewed invigoration.
