Farewell 2011, it’s been a fantastic year

Yesterday we sat down with a notebook, a pen and a profit & loss comparison statement print-out from Quickbooks. With these tools, we evaluated our last year in business and in life, since they inevitably converge in the creative field. We first sat down and wrote down all the things that went well and why. The exercise served as both a pat on the back and an evaluation into what to continue to do in 2012. But the past year has been exhilarating.

Thinking differently about holiday gifts for clients

In our years of employment, we’ve seen our fair share of gifts sent by vendors to clients during the holiday season. One web design company sent branded Nalgenes filled with candy to every member of the communications team as a thank you for their contract. Another vendor sent hand-crafted chocolates in branded wood-burned boxes. Beautiful presents indeed.

But when it came time for us to think about sending a holiday “thank you” to our clients and the subjects in our independent films, we decided to go in a different direction: homemade. Eidolon Films is a small two-person company and our appeal to large clients is not our size and brand, but rather our quality of work, attention to detail, personalized service and passion for the mission more than the bill.
