Chelsea Mills • September 10, 2024

We’re excited to announce that Behind Your Design, a local company owned by an MSU alum, will be at the Michigan State University Annual Apparel & Promotional Product Vendor Fair on Thursday, October 10, 2024, from 12:00 – 3:30 p.m. at the MSU Union Ballroom! This event is free to attend, and we’d love to connect with you.


As a licensed vendor with MSU, Behind Your Design is approved to sell custom apparel and promotional items to student organizations, campus groups, and internal departments. We’ll be showcasing a range of products, including MSU-branded chapstick, hair ties, and custom apparel designed for Spartans.


If you know anyone at MSU who could benefit from our services, please send them our way! This is a fantastic opportunity for us to connect with new groups and offer our creative solutions.


Let us know if there’s someone specific you’d like us to meet at the fair!

Let’s be honest—when’s the last time you actually looked at the “Meet the Team” section on your website? Not skimmed it. Not clicked past it. I mean really looked. If it’s been a few years, there’s a good chance that what’s up there doesn’t match the reality of your team today. Maybe Susan grew out her bangs, or Greg hasn’t worn a tie since 2019. Maybe two of the smiling faces in your header moved on ages ago—and yet, there they are, frozen in pixels like ghosts of small business past. It's nothing to be ashamed of. We've all been there. But here's the thing: your team photos aren't just filler. They're first impressions. They're trust-builders. And if they’re out-of-date, awkward, or clearly cropped from someone's wedding—well, you’re not exactly rolling out the welcome mat. Let’s talk about why updating those photos is one of the simplest, most effective ways to level up how people see your business. That “Stock Photo” Energy? Yeah, People Can Tell You know what’s worse than old team photos? Generic ones. We’ve all seen those painfully stiff group shots—everyone lined up like they’re auditioning for a corporate crime drama. Or worse, the fake handshake photos. (Why are those still a thing?) Customers and clients can smell fake a mile away. In a time when people crave authenticity—real faces, real stories—those overly polished, clearly staged images just don’t cut it anymore. What works? Real teams, real smiles, real settings. We recently worked with Women’s Integrated Health Care , which has locations in Grand Blanc, Clarkston, Davison, Fenton, Marlette, and Sandusky. Their team was incredible—warm, welcoming, and passionate about what they do. Our photo shoot focused on capturing that exact energy. Not just headshots, but moments that reflect how they care for their patients and support each other. That authenticity? It jumps off the screen.
