I’ve also just celebrated my 5th anniversary! I am now 5 years cancer free! Woo hoo! I started Bardangle Jewlery and I’m in desperate need of HELP! Bardangle sells jewelry and accessories via our website and through our Sales Associate Program. I do my own website and it looks it! My business cards are plain, boring white. Nothing conveys how fabulous my merchandise is. I know how to sell jewelry just not how to do the marketing end. I think you should vote for me because I am on the cusp of success and, with a little bit of professional help I know that my business will succeed. Plus, I’m really nice. I work with various ovarian cancer charities and hold fundraisers for them. I sell silk bags from Cambodia and I am setting up a partnership with an NGO in Cambodia to help sexually abused women. Vote for Bardangle! |

I should win because, simply put, MY COMPANY AND I ROCK! We inspire woman to feel good about their hair and let them know that it's ok if you're hair is "different!" We also educate women on the proper way to care for their hair and love it when they have an "aha" moment! It's so cool for women to feel empowered by something as simple as their hair but it happens all the time! We know that with the proper designing of promotional materials, such as our logo, we will catch the eyes of more women than we are now. The more attention we garner, the more hair we can rock! Look forward to getting a call from you guys, telling us we have won!! |

I would love to have someone create an ad that I can re-size and use for other publications to keep things consistent. I have no idea how to create an ad. I can only supply you with photos and words that I would like. I am a hard worker and I volunteer as NC State Coordinator for the Association of Bridal Consultants and as Treasurer for Wish Upon A Wedding and don't really have time to create ads. I also have 3 beautiful girls and am trying to run a business. |

It would be a real blessing to win this gift for services. I am a mother of two, a wife, I have a full time job as a consultant for a corporation and am trying through patience and hard work (not quitting my day job) to save enough to make my wedding planning business a full-time endeavor. It's been tough balance but I believe that God will provide. I absolutely love Savoir Faire Media's work! This would be a fantastic opportunity like winning a raffle win you really need it. Winning this service would truly make a difference for me. I really need a complete business make-over including a new website, matching business card and marketing materials, etc. So I would greatly appreciate your vote. It would be an amazing blessing and a definite part of my testimony to others! Thank you~ |

I think I would be the perfect candidate to win this contest because I honestly need something to help my small business survive in the 21st century. Since I am working out of my home my website is my store and would be the main source of advertising it will also help me get new customers and keep the old ones coming back. |

While I was a student at the University of Central Florida, I was actively involved in planning campus events, from Homecoming to Campus Activities to sorority/Greek functions. I began helping friends plan their weddings, which I fell in love doing and decided to start my own wedding/event planning business! After several years of successful bliss, we first found out that I was pregnant with our first son, and I decided to slow down to concentrate on our family. Then with the arrival of our second son, that slowed business down more, and since then I’ve been itching to return to business full force. I’ve always created my own business materials, but have realized that our image needs reinvention and new life, from our logo to website! I would like to have it all – family, business/work, success, happiness and life! I would love to have Savoir Faire Media help me achieve this! |

I hope to win the contest because for the past year and half I have put my heart into producing an arts & entertainment blog with my friend from graduate school, Vanessa
Camozzi. Many times we have worked for free and reached into our own pockets in order to produce content and grow our business into what we hope someday will be a full-fledged
arts & entertainment online magazine. |

Hi! I am Dionisa, the owner of Dionisa's Designs, a custom invitation and stationery design studio. I have been designing invitations for family and friends for 6 years
and launched my business in 2009. Since I was a little girl, I have always had a passion for paper and anything created out if it. As I got older, I decided to take my
paper passion and my creative skills to the next level. I run my business while working a full-time job, taking classes and raising two small children. My funds are limited and it took me a year to save up to launch my website. I am slowly growing my business, but there are things I would love to add if I had the funds. I would love the opportunity to win a design from Savoir Faire Media. I just love your work. Congrats on your 5 years!! |

Well, I have been putting off a website for years. And, I figured if I won $500. to put towards a website it would start the process of getting the ball rolling. I don't want to wait for a New Years Eve to make a promise to myself. I believe in trying something new everyday. ( I am a hair and makeup artist living in Orlando. I love my job, I love my clients and I feel blessed to do something that I love.) Thank you!

As a visual artiest my clients need to know that I'm creative, modern and understand them. It would be foolish to believe that my work can stand alone without a strong marketing message behind it. My logo, website and business cards represent my work as much as the work itself. I would love to update our logo, and find a true voice for our style and quality of work we produce. |

I've struggled for 14 years to make my passionate dream of being a profitable DJ happen. I've had it thrown in my face all 14 years that a DJ is not a "REAL" job. I'm determined to prove to all those people that it is and I can make it happen...despite all my failed efforts. I have volunteered immense hours of work, changed my marketing strategies countless times, attended DJ Conventions, purchased (and read) books and DVD's, even changed my business name. I recently decided to go back to college and switch majors to business hoping it will help with whatever it is I'm doing wrong. I know I have outstanding services and customer service (there's always room for improvement) but my problem is getting the phone to ring...Which leads me to MARKETING! All my life I helped others and continue to do so. Now, I need help!!! |

I've had a shingle out for a few years as a part time business, but a makeover would give me the chance to actually think about making a living as a photographer. Please help! |

Pageant Resale deserves the opportunity to grow! This idea grew from the mind of a struggling college student to be the largest pageant themed consignment site in existence. We continue to add clients every day, but there is so much more we want to accomplish! Our website is terribly outdated, and very hard to maintain after such incredible growth over the last 5 years. Because we want to offer the lowest price possible to contestants looking to sell with us, we are limited with funding and manpower to create a better looking and more efficient website! Please help me to acheive the beautiful site that will propel my small idea to the next level! |

I am a wedding and event designer. I am a wife and a mother of two. I have been creating beautiful, elegant, and romantic events for years now. I believe I should win because I feel that what ever happens in a person's life that their wedding, birthday, birth of a child, or congratulations should be honored. Life events however big or small should demand acknowledgment and I believe I create that special place for all my clients. I believe winning this contest would allow me to still give a person or families a lifetime of memories. |

I’m a newbie to the wedding planning industry and professionalism is one of my top priorities, but truthfully I’m starting this business on a shoestring debt free budget. Unfortunately, I find myself completely lacking business confidence when it comes to my brand (or lack of). I tend to shy away from opportunities to talk about my business because although my speech, knowledge, and personal appearance reflect professionalism, I feel that my lack of website and other branding items are preventing further growth right now. I know that having the right branding image would give me a boost of confidence towards the next steps for my small business. The American dream is still alive and I’m just trying to live it out. I’m ready to move forward and grow my fledgling business, but I need my business image to truly reflect all that I have to offer! |

I've been DJing since I am 15 years old. Since I went full time with my business after graduating college, I have always been unhappy with the way my business's image. It really all starts with the logo. I never had one that I've been proud of. When I found Savoir Faire Media I thought, "Really? A company that gets it?" I've paid other designers to come up with concepts but none of them were really any good. I am hoping to win this contest so that in 2011 I can finally be proud to display my logo, business cards and website! |

I graduated a year ago and have been desperately looking for an event planning job with no luck. I ended up moving from Orlando to New Hampshire to try and find some work. Recently, I got some great advice from a job-seekers newspaper article- “Hire yourself.” So I did! I am now the proud owner of Stephanie Irene Events, LLC. The problem is no startup money! I was able to get a domain name but couldn’t afford to hire anyone to do the site. I had someone working on it for me, but it was put on the backburner and has been at a standstill for months. I would try to do it myself but the last time I took a computer class was 2000, so my computer skills are seriously lacking! Savoir Faire Media’s sites always look amazing and I want my site to be amazing too! Please help! |

My name is Roshanda Pratt, a stay at home mom of 3. I am a former tv news producer leaving my passion for news to pursue my passion for jewelry. After working in the news biz for close to 10 yrs, I decided by my husbands prompting to take my jewelry business to the next level through selling it. I have done great so far but as you can imagine it is not making the money it could bc of the lack of exposure, I had a website at one time but it did not demonstrate the level of professionalism and creativity of my work. Please help this mother of 3 take her passion to the next level by showing her kids that all things are possible if you just believe! |

We have so much content that we can't show right now. Looking for creative ideas to get our services out there. Facebook has been amazing for us this year. Now it is time to blog and link the two together as one. We are very happy with the current site we have it just needs a face lift. We have many services to offer our clients but as I said we aren't sure of the best ways to present the information. We have tons of customer feedback forms already scanned and online but viewing is difficult I will admit. Thanks for the chance to win and congrats on your birthday! |
