2008 Pix Theatre Gala
The Pix Theatre Gala was a great success!
Over 200 people gathered to support the Pix Foundation at the second annual Pix Theatre Gala. The foundation- whose primary goal is to support bringing community entertainment to downtown Nampa- is now closer to making the theatre a reality thanks to the generosity of our community members.
The evening was filled with delightful entertainment, splendid cuisine, and many opportunities to donate to this worthy cause.
It is never too early to start thinking about next year! Make sure to save the date. Next year’s Pix Gala will be on April 18, 2009!

:: Marketing Gem of the Month ::
GO PRO!
We have all encountered the pathological “Do It Yourselfer”. These are the people who rely on their limited expertise and experience to take on a task better left to the professionals. Just because one can fix the leaky drain under a sink does not make one a plumber, and so it goes with marketing and design. Just because one can design a website, does not mean it will look professional and generate more business.
To make your business grow, you need to have an efficient and dedicated team of professionals working with you. If you hire an integrated marketing firm, then you can leverage the services and expertise of a team who has the knowledge to get the job done in the most effective and productive manner. This requires a certain amount of brave clientele, but in the end the results are worth it!
The benefits of hiring a professional integrated marketing firm:
1. Firms are updated about the latest trends in marketing and technology and have a continual flow of research that they apply to the trade.
2. If you hire professionals, your work will be done in less time and in the long run, will be more cost effective.
3. If you hire a professional to do the work for your business, you can remain tension free.
4. If the integrated marketing firm you hire is experienced in their field, your business will effectively produce a solid ROI.
5. Hiring out lets you make the decisions to take your business to the next step, communicate your wants/needs but then hand it off to someone who can effectively and productively implement the projects.
You do care about quality, right? You get what you pay for. Using a quality firm is beneficial because they live off long-term relationships and want great testimonials and referrals from you.
Just because you self produce a YouTube video handicam style doesn’t mean you’ll get value from it. A well crafted, high quality message will provide more value. Please refrain from turning your handicam into the next big idea, let the pros do it for you.
Leaders and experts in their fields come to you for your expertise, so you should do the same.
Don’t think “service provider.” Think long-term partnerships.
