Holiday Gift Ideas are Here

Well, we've made it through Thanksgiving, and if you're like me, you still have some shopping left to do. (Not many of us are such go-getters as my friend Jean--she had all of her shopping done two months ago! You go girl!) So, if you're still out there looking for that perfect gift, I have a couple of ideas:

#1: A Red Canary gift certificate! For the last 7 years, we have been offering our patrons gift certificates, available in any denomination, and good towards any painting services--basic or decorative, interior or exterior. Give your friends or family a gift that will last for years . . . . and be a thoughtful reminder as well, all year long . . . .

#2: A Dane Buy Local gift card. Available in many denominations and accepted at any Dane Buy Local member business accepting credit cards, including Red Canary LLC and paint suppliers such as McGovern and Sons. From books and art (go see the unique gift ideas at Absolutely Art) to printing supplies (check out Think Black Ink for local printing supplies) and more . . . the gift recipient can use the gift card at several local businesses.

With these unique gift-giving ideas in mind, it is important to note that the average person "enjoys" a paint job for 5 to 7 years . . . . when was the last time that special someone in your life updated their home? Can't remember, but the walls have looked the same for the last 10 Christmases? Then, consider a gift certificate from Red Canary or a gift card from Dane Buy Local. To purchase a gift certificate from Red Canary LLC, please call us at (608) 843-1580 or email us at redcanarypainting@gmail.com. To purchase a Dane Buy Local gift card, please go the the Dane BuyLocal website at www.danebuylocal.com.

Have a safe and joyous holiday season . . . . and good luck wrapping up (LOL. No pun intended) that holiday shopping! To you and yours, all the best wishes this season from Red Canary LLC.

From Shena' Desk

Hey, Folks! The holidays are upon us, once again . . . . here at Red Canary LLC, we would like to offer some advice: If you are planning a painting or other decorating project for any of your holiday gatherings, consider doing it on the small scale--small changes can make a huge difference. For instance, add an accent wall to a room using paint or wallpaper (wait to paint the rest of the room until after the holdidays), replace old accent pillows in your living room with new ones . . . or change your drapes. Keeping holiday decorating (on the construction side) simple is usually the best option. Taking on a large project can be stressful (and the less stress we have during the holidays, the better), and, as it goes in the construction world, even the best made plans most often take longer than expected. (But, it's usually worth the wait, just not during the holiday season . . . . )

New Yard Signs Unveiled

Dear Readers,

Happy Tuesday, folks, and what a great Tuesday it is! Today, we are unveiling our new yard signs. If you are a current or former client, you will notice the yard signs (see photo at left) display a definite similarity to our biz cards. At the Red Canary, we are always excited to share with those we know every step toward becoming a well-established and easily recognized business in Dane county.

Furthermore, this event (the unveiling of our yard signs) allows an opportunity for us to thank everyone that has been connected with and offered their support to the Red Canary since establishing ourselves in 2001: Current and former clients, associates and colleagues, friends, family and anyone that has grown with us or expressed a general interest in the quality painting and customer service standards we uphold--today, we publicly thank you.

Undoubtedly, we are proud to say we have been providing the Madison, WI, area with a unique approach to painting services, and without your business and continued interest in our services, our reasons for being a business would be meaningless. You--the current, past and present clients of Red Canary--are the reasons we continue to grow and maintain our business here in Dane County. Thank you for your patronage.
My sincerest thanks,
Shena Blomgren
Owner and Artist, Red Canary LLC
