Sunday morning Mark brought me the Business section of the Star Newspaper and said look at this.  In the upper right hand corner of the newspaper was a small picture of one of our clients, Steve Gray of  Steve Gray Renovations!  How exciting!

Steve had a very nice article in the Business section about how he started his business five years ago and how he has been able to see it continue to grow! If you would like to read the article, here is the link.  I am sure you remember Steve because I have spoken about him several times on my blog.  The first one is found right here on this link.  He is the reason that I had to get the Wii for Christmas!!

Congratulations Steve!!

By the way, I LOVE the embroidered Turtleneck!  I hope it is keeping Steve's Neck Warm!!  Where did you have that done. . . Kristie's Kreations?

Have you heard of Angie's List?  If not, it is a company that is headquartered here in Indianapolis.  It is a members only organization in which consumers can check out businesses to see how they have performed for other members.  Once the member uses the business, they then rate the business on their performance by submitting a report to Angie’s List.   Companies can not put themselves on the list nor can they pay to be on the list.  The only way for a business to get on the list is by a member writing a report on them.  The goal is of course to have an A average rating and to have excellent comments!

Personally, Mark and I have been members of Angie's List for a number of years and have found it very useful!  As for Kristie's Kreations, we have been on Angie's List for about 5 or more years. One of our customers put us on the list because of our exceptional work and service. Over the years we have gained new customers simply because of being on the list. Some of the projects that we have completed have been really fun including fleece jackets for a group going to Alaska to take pictures of polar bears. We have also made wedding gifts that were taken to China to be presented to the couple. We can now say that our work can be found worldwide!

Last May, Angie’s List contacted us because they needed something other than a t-shirt for the race car driver as well as their CEO to wear in a press conference announcing Angie’s List Sponsorship. We Took Our Marks . .  Got Set. . .  and Off We Went to the Race completing the order within 15 hours.

Just recently Angie’s list contacted us again. This time it was for a different reason. They were contacting us to let us know that we have received the Angie’s List Super Service Award for 2008. This is a huge accomplishment. Less than 5% of the companies on Angie’s List receive this award. Companies who receive this award have to have a minimum number of reports a year as well as keep an A average grade on reports and be in good standing with the Better Business Bureau.

Are you a member of Angie’s List? If so, please leave a good report for us in the hopes that we can continue to receive this award every year! We are very proud of this accomplishment and are excited to share it with you!
