Opportunity Knocking - SOHO Office

There are a lot of good local print-and-mail shops in Dunwoody but one has an edge.
I do all of my "official SDOC business" at the local SOHO Office store in Orchard Park (near that Kroger and right next door to that restauarnt that doesn't seem to last more than a few months at a time.) 

Technically, this isn't "in" Dunwoody but I do my business here because they offer a corporate meeting room with WiFi.  Sure they have mailboxes, notary, printing, and the usual services too.  But if I'm meeting a client for the first time, or making a presentation, and I don't feel like stalking Starbucks for a half-decent table, the meeting room service makes a very professional impression.  The location even matches my mailing address.  Even the chairs are nice and cushy.

Most of all this is a small, local operation created by a couple of guys looking for new careers with hands-on service.  They understand "small office / home office" needs.  (SOHO - get it?)

Lots of opportunity here.  For part-timers, and entrepreneurs, this set of services is a big hand-up for the inevitable meetings and presentations that have to be given "face time".

SOHO Office is also looking to open new franchises.  If you're in the market for a new career or new business, check out the operation at http://www.sohooffice.com/

For the other mail store companies in town:  you might want to put some serious thought into renting meeting space to meet the needs of entrepreneurs in this growing market.

INTRODUCING ... Traci With An Eye Graphic Design, LLC

I'm proud to present the new (and continually growing) website for Traci With an Eye Graphic Design, LLC.  Traci Sampson has been a Dunwoody Chamber colleague, a partner in crime and business, and a good friend.  She specializes in logo design, print materials, advertising, and interior design.  When her extensive portfolio is uploaded the new site will showcase all of her work. 

You're probably already familiar with Traci's art - she designed the current Dunwoody Music Festival logo in use this year.

Traci is also in the process of developing SDOC's print promotional materials coming soon.

The Traci With An Eye site is based on WordPress with a custom-built theme and functionality for showcasing an art portfolio.  In the mean time the current splash page will get you in contact with her and introduced to her design work.

You can usually find Traci in person at Dunwoody Chamber 1st Monday Networking events so stop by to say hello and get her viewpoint on your logo and print material needs!
