BUSINESS EDUCATION – VEI CLASS

Chelsea had the pleasure of presenting to students at Fenton High School today

Instructor: Bruce Burwitz

Before Ms. Chelsea Mills, owner of Behind Your Design in Fenton, came in to talk about branding and marketing for our company, I had no idea the importance of it and how essential it was for a company to thrive. Within the span of the class she taught us about branding and marketing. The first impression of the company is always key and it should be minimalistic but still show off our company in a unique way. Ms. Mills also showed us the significance of details, that something small can really change your perspective of a company. For example she showed us an ad that a hospital put on their elevator, it said “let today be the day to take the stairs”. They wanted to convey the importance of exercise, but this is located in a hospital and some people can’t walk and are in wheel chairs. It was not their intention, but it comes off that way. She also talked about the value of social media and media influencers. In this day and age, social media has taken over and is one of the best ways to promote Waybound. She made a suggestion to have someone dress up like a lumberjack and have them walk around and talk about Waybound during a trade show. All of these suggestions will take Waybound to the next level and will tremendously help us succeed and be able to make a profit. Thanks to Ms. Chelsea Mills, everyone in VEI will have the knowledge to brand and market Waybound and maybe even our own company in the future.

At Behind Your Design, we enjoy partnering with businesses that are passionate about what they do. That is exactly what we found while working with Superior Lawn & Landscape. From launching a new website to developing branded merchandise and planning a grand opening celebration, this project focused on supporting the continued growth of a company proud to serve its clients. A Website Designed to Reflect the Brand One of the first steps was creating a website that showcases the professionalism, experience, and range of services Superior Lawn & Landscape offers. The goal was to build a strong digital presence that clearly communicates the company’s capabilities while making it easy for potential clients to explore their services. Clean layouts, organized service pages, and strong visuals guide visitors through the site while highlighting the company’s landscaping expertise and portfolio. The website also incorporates content from clients and partners, allowing real voices and experiences to help tell the story of the brand.

When you're choosing a spring or summer promo item, the real question is simple: Will someone actually use this? If you live anywhere near lakes, boats, kayaks, camping, or summer travel, dry bags are a no-brainer. These aren’t just cute swag items. They’re so functional. You put your phone, wallet, keys, towel, inside, anything you don’t want getting wet. Roll the top down. Clip it shut. It seals everything in. If it falls in the water? Your stuff stays dry. That alone makes it valuable. And here’s what we love about them from a branding standpoint, not many companies are doing them yet. Everyone has water bottles and tote bags. A dry bag stands out. Even better? It actually lives with someone all summer long. In their kayak. On their boat. In their camper. At the beach. At tournaments. On vacation. That’s real visibility. If you're planning a golf outing, marina promotion, summer festival, or outdoor corporate event, this is the kind of promo piece people will thank you for and keep.
