 I want to talk about Nasty Gal. Sophia Amoruso's book #GirlBoss is AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING!  I ran across it by accident while I was getting my hair cut a few months ago. She was written up in one of those fashion magazines these salons have laying all over the place.  My cell phone was almost dead, so I picked up the magazine and read her interview.  I have to say, from the first paragraph, I was hooked.  I bought her book on Amazon while my head was in the bowl getting washed! For anyone who's looking for a great business book, inspirational read, or to pick up some savvy business tips, this is it.  Check out #GirlBoss on Amazon.  Sophia's the real deal.  She tells her story about how she started Nasty Gal (an online trendy women's retailer) on Ebay and built it into what Inc. Magazine called one of "the fastest growing companies."  I love this woman!  She's funny, raw, and she gets the job done with style and integrity.  She's cutting edge for sure and likes to push the boundaries.  My whole book is pretty much dog ear-ed because there's literally something she says on each page that you want to remember.  Yes, I'm a total Nasty Gal groupie :)   We were SO excited when Nasty Gal called us wanting to do a scratch off promotion! I almost felt bad because the girl who called us for a quote had to listen to me swoon about Sophia for about 10 minutes and ask her fashion advice before I even gave her a price.  I couldn't believe I was on the phone with someone who's office was right down the hall from Sophia.  I mean, this was cooool. We ended up getting the project.  To be able to work with Sophia and her team was an honor!  They were launching their 2nd brick and mortar store and wanted to do something fun, festive, and interesting for their customers when they opened.  They wanted a scratch off.  They also wanted the promotion to match the artwork they were using on their signage and bags - and to look young, hip and trendy.  This is what they went with:

Today I feel a little hypocritcal...in lieu of my favorite Starbucks, I have a thermos of Nespresso coffee sitting next to my keyboard.  It's hazelnut.  With coconut milk.  Supersized.  Not a bad replacement for Starbucks actually.  I think it's safe to say I have enough caffeine in my blood right now to keep me writing and blogging until it's time to go home. Probably around 11pm!

So today's project is (drumroll please!)...scratch off company incentives. Gosh these are great promotions!!  They're fun, they work fast, and they're extremely affordable.  This seems to be the season for incentives looking at all the projects on my To Do list.  We were featured on MSNBC for the Star Card program we did for Whiting’s Foods.This is the video...our little moment to shine in the spotlight.

I love scratch offs!  I'm a tech geek, a total Starbucks addict and a niche marketer.  As I'm typing this, I'm actually on my 5th espresso shot of the day already (and yes, it's not even noon yet!)

I grew up in the promotions and printing industry.  What started as a local, Cleveland-based printing business has grown over the years into a full service design, marketing and printing firm that services clients around the world.  We produce award winning scratch off promotions.  We do printed and digital scratch offs too.  I've seen a lot of different types of promotions come and go over the years (a lot of them gimmicks to be entirely honest).  If you're looking to raise brand awareness and increase revenues, scratch offs are the real deal.  Scratch offs work.  That's why we named our business Scratch Off Works!

Scratch off contests are fun for everyone.  They're inexpensive to produce.  Super fast turnaround time.  And the results are virtually guaranteed.  What's not to love?

So our company is Scratch Off Works and we're located in Cleveland, Ohio.  It's a family run business.  We design, print and ship custom scratch off cards all over the world, for small local companies up to international corporations.  Some of our clients include QVC, Turner Construction, the Chicago Bears, Miller Coors, Marriott Hotels, Bacardi, Goodwill, Whole Foods, Lincoln Electric, the Red Cross, and Cintas.  We love our customers and give them the best hands on customer service in the industry.  We've built our lives around our business with integrity and making our customers happy.
