Creative Process & Project Strategy

Josiah’s journey to luxury fashion success is rooted in a consistently positive mindset. His approach to design and marketing is methodical and inspired, always aiming to add value to his customers’ lives. “I always love to create a good mood board before starting any design project. It helps keep the style and aesthetic consistent throughout through entire process.

Inside the Pages: NeckJuice Collection Catalog

What specific goals did you set when you planned your collection catalog design? “I had set a goal from the very beginning, prior to starting my project, that I would not settle for a sub-par sales kit. That meant designing all materials I would include in the sales kit; Presentation folders, catalog, packaging, etc.” 

“I knew I would end up making revisions to the catalog, even after having it proofed and sent to print the first time. I ended up sending 2 additional formats to print and third time was a charm! I was lucky to have someone from PrintingCenterUSA assist during that process.”  

What actions contributed most to your success, and what lessons did you learn in the process? What did you do right, and what did you do wrong? “It is important for me to create A Consistent Positive Mindset because every action begins with a thought. This then leads into believing  Yourself And Your Abilities. Stay consistent and keep showing up for yourself every day — even on hard days. These actions have helped me to accomplish many things during my career, even when matters appeared to be out of reach. Persistence and determination is the key. Determination is focus on the purpose. Persistence is the continuation of action around that purpose. Both are required for success.” 

When asked about his marketing efforts and materials he uses, Josiah shares, “We use a combination of Marketing materials including catalogs, thank you cards, referral cards, loyalty cards, presentation folders, brand logo stickers, gift bags, labels, business cards, pricing guides and order forms.”  We asked Josiah, “How have the printed products added value or contributed to the growth of your business?” Josiah share, “They have helped us stand out from the competition, increase customer loyalty, and create a positive impression of our company.”

When asked if there was a memorable moment or a creative breakthrough on a project he would like to share, Josiah shares, “A memorable moment for me was receiving the final product in the mail. Physically holding my catalog and skimming through its content was a great feeling! On a computer screen, colors and images are never the same as in real life and seeing how vivid and vibrant the catalog turned out was just the icing on the cake.” The creative vision behind NeckJuice is further brought to life through its partnership with PrintingCenterUSA.

All of my questions were simply answered just by the way the site is set up. The fact that I could get an instant quote and a quick review of my files helped me to correct image resolution issues before sending to print.”

We asked how PrintingCenterUSA has added value beyond just printing his materials, Josiah shares, “PrintingCentersUSA really set the standard when it comes to the customer experience. In a time when customer service is on steady decline everywhere, from help desks no longer being helpful to customer service being automated instead of with a live person, your company has reminded me that not every company has lost what the meaning of the customer experience should be.”
