So we are
back home from Blackpool and it’s the start of the Christmas season which I was
looking forward to because I have a few regular events that book me each year
and are always fun but this time I had a bunch of new customers which meant it
kept me on my toes. After a week or so the photos were edited and finished and
I was really pleased with the completed product. They were how I imagined them
and are perfect for advertising the company.

Next on the
list to do is costume. If you ever see me at outdoor events or in between shows
you will see me in my Prof Dan hoodie. I like to stay casual but still look
professional. During December I was looking at embroidery companies because I have
updated my logo I now need an updated hoodie. I tried going with somebody local
and recommended to me but got nowhere, trying to get hold of them was a pain. I
tried online and narrowed it down to 3 businesses once again one did not bother
getting back to me this is the second time now. The second company I emailed
kept changing their quote which was frustrating that left me with one final
company to try lucky for me it was my preferred choice they replied in a good
time and I was happy with the quote so got the new hoodies booked in. Is it
just me or does everyone trying to do a simple task find it this much hard
work? looking at this from a business point of view there are some sloppy lazy
companies out there. Whatever service you supply replying to a customer is not
hard I try to get back to everyone within a day but that’s just me. Anyway
whilst waiting for a sample of the new hoodie I went on to make a start on some
new business cards…
In 2014 I
ordered 10,000 business cards which I think is a lot and two years later I have
finally given them all out. Since I have new photos and promotional material
and no more cards to give out the timing could not have been better. I decided
to go with the same people I went with last time as they have never done me
wrong and as the saying goes if it’s not broke don’t fix it. Trying to upload
my new design however was proving a task as I am not the best with technology.
The amount of times my wife has had to help me is ridiculous, it’s like
teaching a toddler to spell. So I got a magician friend of mine to help I think
he only did it in sympathy for me. 😊 By the end of the night we had the business cards done and something new
for 2017 Professor Dan now has flyers. It’s the simple things in life that make
me happy.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand
we are DONE!

All updated and not a moment too soon as my little lad was born in
May so I am getting used to being a dad and not having to mess about
updating the business is one less thing for me to worry about. I do have a
few ideas I would like to do for example getting a professional show reel done
for the website would be fun but for now my priorities are doing the best shows
possible and becoming a family man. Wish me luck.
