"Branding Your Image"!

Wow, finishing the month of July, NDS would have hosted our 2-day Branding Expo this month (one in the Bay area and one in Sacramento)- really a bummer as we miss our clients, vendors, and friends who make it an amazing event. We look forward to resuming a live event in 2021, over 100 companies represented. Like most companies we have had to make the change our format, we are hosting a virtual Branding Expo - Your are invited to join us online for great ideas in a quick to watch format at your convenience. Comment on five of your favorites and you will receive a special food gift box :) Wishing you a great Expo and to be well!

Bet you're as tired of this mess as I am- being relocked down is like needing a filling redone (lived through that in my youth, replaced a full mouth of poorly installed filling- another story), painful, a waste of emotion, energy and efforts. Now is a time to show love to our neighbors, support local businesses (buy gift certs even more takeout), tip heavier, smile more, share small glimpses of joy, hope and life! With the over abundance of social media, there are a number of funny posts that anyone can snap and share (just look at the " funnies " section on our PPE site, wwwppe4covid19.com), I am amazed the positive responses when I share with others. We launched the NO COVID19 symbol mid-March, it has become our stand to remind one another- the need to physically distance (stay emotionally and socially connected), to wash often, and now wear masks. Not hard, just needs to become second nature for all, by all, to support all. May you find new joy, new optimism even wi...

Regardless of our personal viewpoint, face coverings- masks or face shields are now a part of our daily fashion statement. For some, the utlitarian paper blue masks have become the go to, function over fashion. For some, sublimated full color masks allows for a wilder side to be presented, or for team or brand loyality to be announced. With the loss of almost 55% of the non-verbal communication that some experts say we lose when we can't see a persons lips, the advent of the windowed mask gives a partial view of a persons face and what they are communicating. The face shield offers full face visability and is now being seen as a strong safety contender With a goal to help you be successful, NDS can supply any and all of these styles- let us help you find a face covering that send the right message and keeps everyone as safe as possible.

Branding comes in all sorts of styles, images and colors- to be know immediately is the ultimate of any marketing plan. Speak of the "Red, White & Blue" or the "Stars and Stripes", you and most of the world knows immediately what country your talking about, the United States, a symbol or Brand of hope, opportunity and freedom readily identifiable- Regardless of world events, the United States brand is still strong and the beacon of better things, may we all take time to thank God for opportunities and even the challenges because in the midst of them we still have choices. Let us not forget the choices made by others so we can have the choice to celebrate or not, the sacrifice of blood, sweat, tears and possessions. Happy 4th of July to all!
