Fast forward to today, and I constantly receive golden nuggets of wisdom on the ever-evolving world of SEO. Because of their insights, I've achieved first-page placement on Google and have complete trust in their processes.

The cards are perfect and exactly what I wanted and such a special tribute to my brother. I honestly can't say how much it meant to me that they went above and beyond to get these done so quickly for me family and me.

If you want a website that is eye-catching, streamlined and contemporary from a team that works…read morewith you hands on--literally on a day-to-day basis--then I suggest you connect with the folks at Zulu Creative. Here's why... In December of 2008 I started thinking about turning my cooking blog into a more professional website. I began researching companies that month, but nothing really stuck: I found it difficult to find a web designing team that seemed at once highly professional but also young enough to understand the style I was going for. I met with countless web designers, and finally discovered Zulu Creative by admiring the website of a bar in town I especially love. I looked through the rest of the Zulu portfolio and discovered that many of my favorite shops, cafes, bars and organizations in Houston had used Zulu for their websites and marketing. I worried that they would be way out of my price range, but decided to call anyway. They were willing to work with my budget and got started with a ridiculously close deadline. Before they began working, I met face to face with the entire team and explained what I do and what I was looking for. Within a week they had drafts of site architecture for me to look at. Within a month they showed me a first draft and were very amenable to making changes. I even asked them to redo the entire look of the site, and they obliged--just to make sure I was happy. After my site was up and running they invited me to the Zulu office for a full tutorial, and were incredibly patient as I learned how to manage all of my tags, categories, photos and entries. The best part: they had a box of organic cupcakes waiting for me! I highly recommend the Zulu team, if you're looking for people you'd trust with your time, money and brand. They'll also invite you to some really cool parties and are probably the most connected people in Houston... Sometimes when I'm home and have a free moment, I open up my website and drool at the design. It's really, really beautiful. Thank you ZULU!

Opinions Unlimited is a marketing research firm that different companies hire to do marketing focus…read moregroup studies. I got started participating in their paid focus groups many many years ago. I am reviewing them from the focus group participant view... Opinions Unlimited periodically calls or emails me when there are studies that might suit me or sometimes they just call when they just need to fill some more seats. They ask a series of questions to determine if I fit the needs of the focus group and then schedule me for a time that I'll come in a participate. Some of the studies have been during the day but most of them are after work hours. They are always paid typically $50-$200 for a single focus group. The focus group session lasts anywhere from 45 minutes to 2 hours. I have been asked to participate in a full day session once, but I declined. When you get there, they have light snacks and sodas. You go into rooms that has a table and typically a single person from the client's company conducts the focus group. There is a large mirrored wall where people from the company will sit on the other side in a separate room and will usually video tape you. They do not use the videos for anything other than reference because you don't sign a waiver allowing them to use your likeness in commercials. The focus group might consist of just questions, watching commercials and responding, trying food items, etc... It's typically interesting and the time goes by quickly. At the end you check out and are handed a check and a parking validation. They always book more people than they need and if you show up and they don't need you, they pay you anyway and you are on your way home! You can only participate like 2-4 times a year, depending on the requirements of the client. Some of the studies I've participated in are for Biore skin products, lean cuisine commercials, army marketing to students, something about computers a long time ago, etc... I get paid for my opinion! How great is that?

"Finally, someone who wants you for your mind."…read more That is on the back of the business card of the Opinion Research outfit In the Galleria District of Houston where I spent my day, yesterday. :-D "Nice brain, mind if we pick it?" No, I didn't. :-D Opinions Unlimited is a marketing research firm that different companies hire to do marketing focus group studies. Early this month I discovered them via Facebook and took the online survey. On Sunday I got a phone call to see if I was interested in coming in on short notice and answered some more questions. I have never done anything like this before and did not know what to expect. I am reviewing them from the focus group participant view... This was a full day session, with about 30 other participants and paid $250. For anyone who does not drive a car Houston Metro #20 & #47 conveniently will drop you off on the corner of Woodway & Post Oak LN, a quick walk from the complex of buildings consisting of Riverway 1-7, and #3 is not hard to locate. Depending on where you live in Houston and the time you have to be there, you should have little problem...I live in Upper Sharpstown and it was a 90 min., 2 bus, trip to be sure to get there by 730am for the 8am check in. When you get there, they have light snacks and sodas and check-in is easy. The Deli Lunch (In this case it was sandwiches, chips & a cookie from Panera), is well worth it. While, for certain reasons given us, I can't talk about what the Focus Group I participated in was about (other than "About 8 hrs"....hee, hee!) I WILL say that it was a very interesting and informative day, and the people running things were friendly and encouraging and helpful. At the end I was given a check for $250 and went on my way. For those who think they would never be chosen for one of these in a million years, due to age, race, political persuasion, sexual orientation and other notions... I am a 59 yr. old Conservative single white heterosexual male, and I saw plenty of people, male and female, white and black and Hispanic, around my age, or older and a couple of disabled people in wheelchairs.. Oh, and they also consider people who identify as "Non-Binary/Gender Fluid. They have been in operation since 1979, and in Houston since 1996 and appear to be a very highly respected outfit. If invited to participate again, and it is on a day off, I would not mind doing so.
