ResultsKatalyst - Issue 4

Welcome to the 4th edition of the ResultsKatalyst newsletter from Katalyst Solutions. We are excited that the fall is here! That brings lots of football, kids back in school, and a chance to get back into the swing of things.

This month, we’re continuing our Web Marketing series and looking at Streamline Your Design and exploring a few of the important components of good design! Traci is bringing us some tips on Taking Great Photos and we have a guest article from Robert Showers who explains the importance of registering your Trademark or Service Mark.

We are also spotlighting one of our customers this month: Jessie Mann. Jessie is a local artist who specializes in designing and painting Limoges Porcelain and English Enamel boxes. She does some beautiful work and they certainly make unique, exquisite gifts.

Thanks, and as always, we would love your feedback and suggestions.

Whether a non-profit or a for-profit organization, the grief and aggravation that come when another entity adopts its trademark or service in connection with the same or similar goods or services is the same. Organizations spend large sums of money to create logos and marketing plans to come up with a mark in which they will use as their brand or source identifier in the marketplace. If another organization begins using the same or similar mark with the same services in the same field, then your investment and goodwill associated with the mark will be severely diminished. The confusion generated can cause great damage to your organization’s goodwill and can cost thousands to resolve.
