... the process of capturing moving images on electronic media (e.g., video tape, direct to disk recording, or solid state storage like a tapeless camcorder) even streaming media. The term includes methods of production and post-production. It is the equivalent of filmmaking, but with images recorded electronically instead of film stock. It is the art and service of creating content, video editing and delivering a finished video product as is the case of distributing television programs for broadcast syndication. This can include production of television commercials, corporate videos, event videos, wedding videos and special-interest home videos. A video production can range in size from a family making home movies with a prosumer camcorder, a one solo camera operator with a professional video camera in a single-camera setup (aka a “one-man band”), a videographer with a sound person, to a multiple-camera setup shoot in a television studio to a production truck requiring a whole television crew for an electronic field production (EFP) with a production company with set construction on the backlot of a movie studio.

Some owners will tell you, they just don’t have the time, resources or budget to invest in marketing materials and plan on continuing as they always have. But in today's economy and technology driven age, can your business really afford not to change with the times? Businesses using an outdated website and/or poorly designed marketing materials are giving their competition a marketing advantage. Let’s face it, word-of-mouth used to be the best form of marketing, but times have changed drastically. Technology has quickly reshaped the way we do business in the industry. Most consumers focus on vendors who offer website interaction, a social media presence and professional marketing materials. Dental professionals are forced to change or risk becoming extinct. In order to compete with dental labs that offer the same quality of products and services, it is imperative that a lab demonstrates a strong professional presence. Lack of a consistent design and company branding reflected across all platforms of media could be detrimental to the lab's success.

Who Doesn't Judge a Book By It's Cover? Each and everyone of use judges companies, products and service provider on the way they appear online and offline. If a company has either a unappealing website or only listing on some random business directory, or worse yet -no website at all. You can beat they are losing many more possible customers then just myself. After all, if a company thinks it's not worth investing into their website and marketing materials, then why on earth would anyone else think it's worth doing business with them? Since most of use are internet savvy customers with instant access to research for any product, business and service provider. If we don't like something, get bad service or have any other reason for being a unhappy customer, we all have the internet for placing reviews, comments or complaint and spread the word via social media around the world.

The Importance of Branding and Online Presence for the Dental Industry is often overlooked. In order for dental labs to compete in the market a professional company branding along with a strong online presence is a must. My catch phrase, "Either you're visible or you're invisible!" is the honest truth. Please watch my presentation below on the importance of standing out among your competitors. The last half of this short video demonstrates how an online business website can help small business owners operate a modern online system that is quick, easy to use and efficient. This is a must have for any serious dental lab, clinic or dental related company to compete in today's market. Nowadays you need more than a basic business card and a plain old website. Please feel free to contact me if you would like to Avoid Becoming Extinct.

How Did Ck2design Get Started? Most companies are started by one hardworking person. And for Ck2design, that one person was Carrie Kuehn. Back by in the late 80s, before computers were used in the graphic industry and marker comps, typesetting, paste-up and clip art were used, Carrie began working as a part-time freelancer. Through the years as the graphic arts field changed and morphed with technology, so did Carrie's creative abilities and career choices. After working for well know corporations as a full time marketing department in-house designer, while also working as a part-time freelancer, it was time for a change. As the economy seem to be rapidly deteriorating in 2009, Carrie made a leap of faith and expanded Ck2design's freelancing into a full time creative media studio.

A logo is a graphic mark or emblem commonly used by commercial enterprises, organizations and even individuals to aid and promote instant public recognition. Logos are either purely graphic (symbols/icons) or are composed of the name of the organization (a logotype or wordmark). In the days of hot metal typesetting, a logotype was a uniquely set and arranged typeface or colophon. At the level of mass communication and in common usage a company’s logo is today often synonymous with its trademark or brand.[1]
