The economy in recent years has been less than stellar. Many people have lost their jobs. Lost their savings. Lost their cars. Lost their houses. And some have even lost their businesses. Enough is enough. We must help each other.

Ju.Nk Clothing
Ju.Nk Clothing (pronounced: junk) is a clothing line based out of Indianapolis, IN that works extremely hard to ensure customer satisfaction in every aspect. Every detail of this clothing line from shirt designs down to the brand name itself has been strategically pieced together and well thought out. An acronym that accurately describes the the brand is: “Jaunty, Unique, Non-Biased and Keen.” More specifically, the J and U represent our products, which are very high-fashioned and one of a kind. Separated by a period, the N and K come next as a representation of our customers, employees, and supporters. There is not a specific target consumer for Ju.Nk Clothing because our products are designed for no specific demographic and will always possess a powerful, deep meaning that can be interpreted in many ways by any of our many different customers.
The mission of Ju.Nk Clothing is to allow our customers to express their creativity, emotions, attitudes, morals, beliefs, and imagination through our clothing. We hope to open the minds of all individuals by allowing our product to be a form of self-expression; it’s more than clothing…
…Now that you know what Ju.Nk Clothing is all about, its time to log in and shop! What are you waiting for?
Press Release: TKO Graphix Merger
Plainfield, IN, November 5, 2010 — TKO Graphix President, Tom Taulman II, announced this week the merging of Plainfield Sign and Elite Sign Company, Inc. with TKO Graphix. The two central Indiana firms will operate under the newly-formed TKO Graphix subdivision, Plainfield Sign.
The merger allows TKO Graphix to offer additional services, such as architectural, illuminated, and dimensional signs to its national market. TKO believes the strategy will bring new contracts to central Indiana and expand the opportunities and capabilities of all three organizations. Taulman said, “We’ve all worked together for 25 years, and with the current economic realities, it just makes since to house all of us in TKO’s 50,000 square-foot facility.”
Plainfield Sign, founded in 1969, maintains up to seven employees with annual revenues averaging $400,000. President Lee Faulkner brings 35 years of award-winning multimedia and carved signs experience to TKO Graphix. Faulkner will continue to serve as manager of Plainfield Sign.
Elite Sign Company, Inc., owned and operated by Ron Long for 29 years, staffs six employees with annual revenues over $500,000. While the company will operate within TKO Graphix’s Plainfield Sign subdivision, Elite will also continue as a separate company to service their existing customers. Long will supervise electrical sign installation for Plainfield Sign / TKO Graphix.
TKO Graphix offers a full-range of graphic services — including graphic design, digital and screen-printing, graphic installation and removal. In 2000, TKO was named a 3M Scotchprint® Graphics Authorized Manufacturer. Its installers became members of the United Application Standards Group and 3M Certified Installers in 2001. In 2004, TKO moved into its custom designed 50,000 square-foot facilities in Plainfield, Indiana.

Delivra’s Extreme Email Makeover Contest
Calling all bad emails. Delivra, one of the original email marketing software companies, is holding its first Extreme Email Makeover Contest to help rid the world of bad email design.
“There are scads of awful emails out there calling out for help,” said Neil Berman, president of Delivra. “Marketers know they are guilty. Their emails contain all HTML and broken links. They have high unsubscribes and low click-throughs. They have committed these or other transgressions. Let us help you.”
The Extreme Email Makeover will overhaul the email design that is most in need of a “face lift.” “In our competition, the worst wins,” said Berman. “We are asking marketers to compete for the opportunity to have their poor, underperforming email transformed into a high performance, eye-pleasing email.”
To participate in the Extreme Email Makeover simply “like” the Delivra Fan Page on Facebook and then upload your worst email design. You do not have to be a Delivra client to participate. The contest will run from July 1 through July 31, so you have no excuse not to participate. After submitting your own email designs, you can vote for the one you think most needs the Extreme Email Makeover. On August 4, 2010, after evaluating the entries and the voting that takes place via Facebook, Delivra will announce the email design that is most desperate for a “makeover” as the winner.
If the winner is not a current Delivra client, they will win: one custom-designed, sophisticated email template; one hour of email strategy consultation; access to Delivra 101 and 201 email webinars; and a 90-day Delivra trial account. If the winner is already a Delivra client, in addition to the embarrassment this will cause us, they will receive a custom-made, sophisticated email template, which will be placed into their current Delivra account for future email marketing needs.
