Spotlight on North Country Wood Craft



It's amazing how time flies when your busy! I can't believe it's been so long since our last spotlight! Since it is the holiday season, we decided the best company to spotlight is North Country Wood Craft.


One of our favorite bowls!
Jim Berg, the owner and creator behind all of the wonderful hand crafted wood items has become not only a valued client, but great friend of ours over the past year.
His unique talent to take what one persona can dream up and make it into something special really makes his custom gifts a must have for the Holidays (or any occasion)!

Spotlight on Rat Rod Magazine

About a year ago, I started working with Rat Rod Magazine out of Shakopee, Minnesota. My purpose was to assist them with selling ads in their magazine. Being heavily involved with WWII airplanes, I had an immediate appreciation for the cars themselves and the pictorial vibe of their magazine. The pages are covered with stunning shots of  custom built Rat Rods, pin-up models, all with a wonderfully artistic aesthetic.

The MN Wing advertised in this issue! 
As with the WWII airplanes I hold so dear in my heart, it can sometimes be a tough to get people to really see the vision of what you are pitching to them, so I wanted to take the time to post some of the amazing photo's that fill the pages of Rat Rod Magazine for you to get a feel for yourself.

I don't think many businesses out in cyber space realize how great a magazine Rat Rod is to advertise in. I hear a lot from people who say the image they portray doesn't fit with their business belief's (which is fine, everyone has a different perspective), but have those people actually had a chance to see some of the stunning photos and articles within the pages of the magazine?!?

Rat Rod Magazines following on Facebook and in actual sales in remarkable- just imagine having your ad in the hands of millions across the nation for a tiny fraction of the cost of other publications...can you really pass this up? I think not!

Either way, take a look at their site, their pictures, and get a feel for what they do and how much of an artistic process goes into producing this high quality visual journal into the Rat Rod Culture!

Enjoy,
Amy
