Hello and Welcome to our campaign!
We are a small business owned/run by two Metis women hoping to
launch shortly in Northern Ontario, specifically serving the North Bay
and Timmins area. What we are looking to do is to infuse the world of
Design with the Event Planning world to offer our clients an inclusive
experience. Giving clients a quick cross-market will allow them to
stay in one location without running to various others for services.
This isn't the only unique service we will offer, we are also
purchasing a laser engraver to create REAL WOOD invitations, business
cards, postcards or whatever may be of interest. We will offer both
engraved wood and ink stamped wood. Being able to offer this fun and
unique alternative in Northern Ontario is something we know will be
well received. Allowing clients to create unique wedding invitations
that will be treasured forever or a business card that will leave a
lasting impression, we want to be able to bring that unique twist to
you. We have also partnered with a printer to offer a full line of
printed items to cater to every need you may have.
Our events team also plans on offering a very magical service,
character birthdays! With various options you are sure to find the
party that will meet your financial needs. These parties will launch
with “Fairy Godmother” parties, allowing the birthday goers to have
their own Fairy Godmothers for the day to play games, read stories, do
crafts and even get a little Fairy Godmother makeover of their own.
Characters will launch as the service expands. Services like this are
widely available in Southern Ontario, but rarely seen up North, which
is why we want to bring a little magic to you.
We are also striving to offer competitive pricing as well as
upfront pricing. Most services require you to contact them for quotes,
etc. Our plan is to simply post our rates and the services offered and
then customize from there if need be.
Since the majority of services can be offered via our website
through email correspondance, it allows us to work with people all
over the North! Travelling to our clients in Northern Ontario will
also be introduced for Event Planning keeping our spectrum broad as
well.
Now that you know about the business, why not tell you a little
more about us!
Stacey
Future Owner/Design Manager
Hi everyone! My name is Stacey and I live in Porquis Junction,
Ontario. I am recently married and have actually just recently moved
to where I am currently living, given my husband's promotion at work.
I have always carried an interest and persued my artistic talent, most
recently getting a Diploma with Honours in Graphic Design, sponsored
by the Metis Nation of Ontario.
Being Metis has had a big impact on both my art and my life as a
whole. This is why I chose the name "Infinite Blend" for the
company. Taking the symbol of the Metis people, the infinity sign, and
creating a more swirl-look to introduce the "blend" to it
made the company logo what it is today.
For the name, keeping with the infinity theme, I chose the word
"Infinite", also introducing the idea to our clients that we
will create what it is they are looking for and the word
"Blend" as we will be blending services as well as the
overall design inference as well. The ideas came so fluidly as far as
the business went, I felt it was truly meant to be.
Melissa
Future Event Manager/Coordinator
My name is Melissa Lafrance working along with Stacey, sharing
the same passion and and creative touch, I am Infinite Blend.
A little about myself, I have three beautiful children who are my world and my reason for life. They offer me creativity every day and fuel my desire to succeed. Having worked with children in the past and the combination of my own, I am current with a lot of the trends kids follow. I am anxious to bring the magic of our parties and future event services to you.
Why we need you
Why are we looking for your help? As Metis women in Northern
Ontario, we do have access to grants, most of them require at least a
25% to 50% contribution on our part. So we thought, why not attempt to
raise as much of the funds as we could, perhaps not even requiring
grant applications, with some fun perks? This led us to our desicion
to launch this campaign. Though we do have most of our technology
covered thanks to it being provided through Stacey's Metis Nation of
Ontario funded college program, there are still a few items we need.
We also want to be able to have our laser engraver and stock on hand
so we can start that service as soon as we launch. Being that we also
want face to face customers to get the best understanding of services,
we require samples and swatch books, and the cost can add up quite quickly.
As you can see, our logo is an infinity symbol, influenced greatly by the Metis culture, being it's representative symbol. The Metis culture, an Aboriginal entity in Canada, is rich in inclusion being that we are descendents of a “mixed” nature. Being unique is in our blood, so integrating it into our business model was very easy for us. This also had an influence to share our story in this unique manner, being able to not only share our story to inspire fellow Metis/Aboriginal women in Northern Ontario, but also to inform the online world in general about our heritage.
Looking for something cool for helping us? When we decided to do
this, we decided to launch a Limited Edition version of our logo on a
bunch of fun stuff. This logo will not be reproduced again after this
campaign wraps, it will be limited to the perks in this campaign and
be representative of the "Original Backers" of our company.
It will be displayed on our site/in our offices in the future as
representative of this as well, but never reproduced on anything else.
So rest assured that you can sport your logo and our clients will know
you had a big hand in our making!
