The eyes of an artist….

Yesterday was national cheeseburger day! Not only do the Tag Team love of a good burger, but cheeseburgers hold a special place in the heart of Tag Team Prez, Catheryn. We all know Catheryn as our fearless leader here at Tag UR It! Inc. As our President/CEO, Catheryn inspires the Tag Team to always be our best! What some may not know about Cathryn TheRtist (as many know her in the art world) is that Catheryn is not only an entrepreneur and leader, but an amazingly talented artist with her paintings displayed nationwide!

“Look into the eyes of Catheryn’s paintings and you will see the soul of the subject.  Look into the eyes of this award winning artist and you will see why; she has the soul of an artist. 
She doesn’t simply recreate an image; she studies the image, garners the personality and the essence of her subject and brings these multifaceted qualities to realization.  Catheryn is the surrogate between subject and canvas.”  -Perry Steele Patton
                                                                                                          
You may be thinking “How does any of this tie in with cheeseburgers?”  One of Catheryn’s more recognizable pieces of art was created exclusively for Cheeseburger Restaurants™, “serving paradise daily at www.cheeseburgerland.com“.  Catheryn’s Princess Kamanaiwana Cheeseburger Oil Painting has been transformed into a Cheeseburger Restaurants™ icon! Seen on their website, on the backs of teeshirts and other merchandise, and and in many of their restaurant locations, this iconic painting shows Catheryn’s passion as an artist.

Here at Tag UR It! Inc., we find inspiration for new and exciting products in many places!

Great Name Tag Sales! Its all good, like CHEESECAKE!

This month, Tag UR It! Inc. has quadrupled its sales compared to the sales of July 2011!  People really do love our high quality products at great low prices! …. And you know what?? Its all good, like cheesecake!

Speaking of cheesecake….

It’s NATIONAL CHEESECAKE DAY!

OK, so I will be the first to admit that this blog post has nothing to do with name tags, engraving, recognition awards, or anything else Tag UR It! Inc. is well known for…. But here is a little known fact about me, Sara, Tag UR It! Inc.’s Director of Sales and Marketing.   I LOVE cheesecake! When I realized that today was Nation Cheesecake Day, I couldn’t help but share a few of my favorite takes on cheesecake with the our wonderful blog readers!  Here are a few of my favorite variations of your classic cheesecake!

  • Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries: What could be better than these little bites of heaven!! A fresh sweet strawberry is a delectable dessert all on its own, but adding a cheesecake filling and graham cracker crumble makes for an irresistible bite sized treat!

  • Red Velvet Cheesecake: Red Velvet has made a come back and is the hottest dessert out there right now! A perfect combination of rich chocolate tones in the red velvet, the slight tang of buttermilk, and a perfect classic cheesecake layer, this Red Velvet Cheesecake hits all the right notes!

  • Cheesecake Brownies: Now this is a decadent dessert! A gorgeous swirl of creamy cheesecake through rich fudge chocolate brownies. I cant imagine a pan of these lasting very long around me!! I can almost smell the amazing aroma of sweet cheesecake and chocolate just looking at this photo!

  • Reese’s Peanut Butter Cheesecake Squares: Who doesn’t love the combination of chocolate and peanut butter?!? Now add a little cheesecake into the mix, and you have yourself a fabulous trio of flavors!

  • Classic New York Style Cheesecake:Last, but never ever least, is a classic New York style cheesecake.  I love all takes on cheesecake, but the classic will always be a winner with me. Add a few strawberries on top and I am in heaven!  I tasted me first slice of cheesecake in college and could not believe it took me that long to discover the incredible treasure that is cheesecake! It will forever be my favorite dessert!

    A few years ago, I created my own little saying…. “It’s all good, like cheesecake”

    It will forever by my motto in life, because life sure is great, just like cheesecake!!

    Happy National Cheesecake Day everyone!

For the love of MacBook! ….and Name Tags!

Tag UR It! Inc. definitely has a love of Mac!

After falling in love with the Tag UR It! Inc. iPad, the Tag Team decided to take the plunge and learn more about Apple products.  Over the last 2 years, all Tag staff have begun using iPhones, iPads, and MacBooks! It is amazing how much having Apple products can change the way business is done in any company!  The 13 inch MacBook Air and the brand new 15 inch MacBook Pro with Retina display are the newest additions to our company computers.  We are still exploring all of the new features of the Mountain Lion operating system as well as all our MacBooks have to offer, but here are a few things that have changed the way we do business on a daily basis thanks to Apple!

  • Graphics: There are so many great things to say about the graphics on all of our Apple products! Viewing our products, the logos we work with, and our beautiful new website in such high definition takes away any question as to how great our image quality is!
  • FaceTime: As a Tag Team member currently living on the east coast, it is often a challenge to feel connected to the main Tag UR It! Inc. headquarters based in Southern California.  FaceTime has completely changed the way our staff is able to communicate.  Because of FaceTime video conferencing, I am able to jump in on weekly staff meetings and never miss anything important that is happening at the office!
  • iCloud for Calendar and Email: We have a very busy staff, always juggling many commitments, meetings, and deadlines.  iCloud allows us to always know exactly where we are supposed to be! By using the calendar applications on all of our Apple devices, the iCloud keeps them in sync with each other.  I can tell my Macbook to remind me of a meeting at 2pm, and my iPhone will remind me if I am away from my desk at that time!  Between the calendar and email syncing to all of our devices at any time, we are always in touch with our customers and fellow staff whether we are at our desks or on the road!
  • Creativity and Movie Making: Anyone who follows Tag UR It! Inc. in the social media world knows that we love our fun movie trailer series! iMovie among other movie making software that Mac offers allow us to create professional advertising videos with ease. I will definitely be learning a lot more about movie making in the future and cannot wait to produce more great advertising material!
  • Integration of Dropbox: Dropbox and Mac computers can now be linked to share files with complete ease! Right along with all of the other folders on my hard drive is my Dropbox folder.  We do a lot of file sharing between staff members here at Tag.  From sharing high resolution product images to sales letters, Dropbox integration within our hard drives allows us to share folders from coast to coast with ease.
  • iBook Publishing: Electronic books are definitely one of the hottest things out there! One of my newest projects is going to be publishing our first iBook of feature products! Stay tuned….

While Tag UR It! Inc. is still slowly making the switch over to Apple and still has a ways to go, we are thrilled with the beginning of our switching process!  Our MacBooks are going to help Tag UR It! Inc. grow even more!  Does your business use Apple products? We would love to hear from you!  We are definitely still learning and would love to read your suggestions in the comments below!

What’s in a name?

“What’s in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet.”                           ~Shakespeare

                               Hey, Joe!
                                           How are you doing, Linda?
                                                                  What’s up, Mike?
 
Your name certainly doesn’t define who you are, but it gives you an identity, especially to the casual acquaintances you meet on

a daily basis.  These acquaintances could be the nurses that treat you at the hospital, the hostess and waitress at the restaurant you dine at, the staff at the hotel you stay at, the lawyer, the doctor, or the businessman preparing your taxes. One thing most of these acquaintances will have in common? They will wear a name tag. That name tag will be your first personal impression, introducing you on a personal level. When you know someone’s name, they are no longer just a face you pass by throughout your day, but someone you get to know, even just for a moment.
 
Companies and businesses have their employees wear name tags for many reasons. First, of course, in order for customers or clients to be able to identify employees by name. That name tag brings a sense of responsibility to that employee. When they are wearing it, they represent their company and are there to make the name of that company proud. This gives the individual the confidence to stand tall and represent themselves.  The name tag may also show rank or position, demanding well deserved respect of those wearing it. 
 
Who knew that a name tag could mean so much? So if you ran a business, company, or event, wouldn’t you want that first impression to be the best out there?? That’s where Tag UR It! Inc. comes in! Tag UR It! Inc. makes a name tag that will stand out above the rest! Whether you need name tags or event ID tags, Tag UR It! has the best out there! Wouldn’t you want your employees to be proud of the name tag they are wearing, representing your company or business? Give them the confidence with a great name tag!!
