Halloween is one of the most long-awaited holidays of the year. We're used to seeing peoples' creativity around this time of year from the spooky decorations to the spooky costumes and makeup, people go all out when it comes to this spooky holiday. What comes to your mind, when you think of Halloween? Scary movies to watch? Getting dressed up and acting the part of your favorite scary character? Or maybe it's trick-or-treating? Seeing kids and even sometimes adults walk around the neighborhood with their buckets of candy going from house to house, ringing the doorbell or knocking on the front door of some stranger's house.

Now, imagine that same scene being played out slightly different, instead of candy being handed out, freshly baked pies and cakes decorated with Halloween quotes, phrases and witty scary themes. I think parents and adults a like would certainly get into the Halloween spirit even more than some already do! No more flimsy candy bags, kids and trick-or-treaters would have to pull around wagons to carry all of their baked goods from one house to the next.

For someone just starting out, it is important to have a sense of what you want to achieve as a business owner or entrepreneur over the short term. If your needs are extremely simple, at least at the start, you probably do not need to start wondering how much you're going to pay for professional web design, logo design and branding, and graphic design. However, the more complicated your initial goals are, the more apparent it will become that professional experience in web, logo, or graphic design is essential. It comes down to making the most of your resources to save time and money on getting a professional solution right out of the gate. To that end, how much should you pay? Experts say it can vary wildly. Web design in the broadest terms possible can run you anywhere from a few hundred dollars, to tens of thousands of dollars. Chances are, your aspirations do not run to a $100, 000 tab for web design. However, you can still expect to pay as much as $1000 for significant web design.

Even if you yourself don't drink coffee, the odds are pretty good that virtually everyone around you does. In 2015 alone, we spent over 74 billion dollars on coffee here in the US alone. Imagine what the numbers are like for the industry on a global scale! We like our coffee, is what I'm saying. It would almost seem as though the world does not need more coffee shops, but that is not the case. One of the most interesting things to emerge in the past decade is the idea that any kind of retail shop be opened with a specific purpose in mind.

Asking about qualifications is one of the most important things any business owner or entrepreneur can do, when it comes to finding the best possible web designer for their needs. This can include their degrees, work history, years and forms of experience, and more. Ask to check out their portfolio! In this day and age, there really isn't any excuse for a designer of any kind to not have a detailed, engaging collection of what is essentially their greatest hits. Talk about rates. This may seem obvious, but you would be surprised how often people forget to discuss this aspect to the letter. It can also be a good idea to talk with the web designer about the specific software they use. You don't have to be an expert on this, but know that a large paid platform is generally the best way to go. If not, they should be using their own software. That is a different conversation altogether!

There is a marked difference between paying attention to your competitors, especially when it comes to how they market themselves, and focusing more on what they are doing, than what your customers might want/enjoy. Competitor obsession can distract you from more important things. Paying attention to businesses similar to yours can be good for inspiration, but it's still important to ultimately focus on giving your customers the best experience possible. It can be particularly damaging to focus on specific competitors. Paying attention to patterns in marketing and brand success can be wise. Taking things to the point where you're essentially cloning what someone else is doing can be extremely problematic. At the end of the day, getting feedback from clients is always a better idea for making changes, if those changes are necessary. And while identifying certain patterns can steer your own design and branding goals in the right direction, you still want to ultimately establish your own unique identity.

It was very difficult to advertise your business online back then because of how complex the process of setting up and managing advertising campaigns, monitoring results, and modifying your strategy based on those results was.
