EvoloDesign Website Launch


Tarte Advertising just launched the EvoloDesign website!

EvoloDesign, formerly Olde Montgomery Kitchen & Design, is a full-service interior design firm (located in Montgomery) that offers comprehensive design, premium products, and custom remodeling services.

Earlier this year, Olde Montgomery Kitchen & Design was in the midst of some internal changes at their firm - adding new comprehensive services, hiring an award-winning interior designer to their core staff and expanding their studio space in Olde Montgomery.

With such big changes, there was no better time for a complete overhaul -- including re-naming their company, re-branding their image, new logo, new print materials and website.

Tarte Advertising has completed phase one of the overhaul, which includes the new EvoloDesign website.

For more information on how Tarte Advertising can refresh your brand, give us a call at 513.984.8278 or check out our portfolio online at: http://hellotarte.com/work.html.

We're Abnormal

I can't tell you how many times I have had people call us and say, "I am looking for a new website. I was working with this other person and they are just so unreliable that I think I need to find someone new. It takes them weeks - if not months - to get changes made to my site. Is this normal?"

If this is "normal", then Tarte Advertising is "abnormal" and that is fine by me. One of our top priorities in our business is customer service - making sure our clients are taken care of in a timely manner to the best of our abilities. It is sad to us to get these phone calls because the potential client has a bad taste in their mouth because someone else wasn't responsible enough to take care of the job the right way, the first time.

When a client asks us for changes to their website, we let them know when those changes will be made, and most of the time the changes are complete before the deadline. We set deadlines and we stick to them.

The next time your web developer or designer or copywriter or PR person can't give you a timeline and says they will "get to it soon", nail them down. Make them give you a solid deadline and when they can't meet that deadline, think really hard about if this is the right person to be working with. If you decide they aren't, give Tarte Advertising a call and let us show you the difference.

Cincinnati Spring Fling Logo



The Cincinnati Horticultural Society's Spring Fling Committee approached Tarte Advertising in 2007 about developing a logo for the Cincinnati Flower Show's annual after party — Spring Fling. The committee was looking for a versatile logo that could be used for years to come (this is the second year for the logo). Tarte developed a logo that was fresh, fun and could be utilized in several different formats depending on where it was being used.

This year the party is on April 24, 2009. With the musical entertainment of DJ Will and Naked Karate Girls, an array of food, drinks and over 1,600 guests expected this year. The party starts at 8pm and continues until 1am at the Museum Center at Union Terminal.

See you there!
