"When we contracted with BlueWater Business Promotions to help us redesign our brochures, I don’t think our committee understood how the project would develop.  Karen helped us to understand and accept that our current logo was really doing nothing for us, and worked with us to design a new logo that helped people get a sense of who we were just by looking at our logo.  Her patience through the whole project was amazing!  By incorporating photos into our brochures and guiding us through the selection of the perfect paper to show off the photos and draw people’s attention to our services, our brochures went from plain and ordinary to eye-catching.  Karen helped us reduce the number of different brochures that we were printing, by guiding us through the process of how to say more with fewer words.  Now people notice our brochure!  Karen also introduced us to rack cards which are even more “punchy,” getting people’s attention and giving them the bare-bones facts that help the reader to understand who we are and what we do in the community.  Working with Karen is always a pleasant experience."

“The Huronia Foundation for the Arts was more than pleased with our first 3 Arts and Culture
 Directories, designed and printed by Karen Newell of Bluewater Business Promotions.  Karen’s
 professionalism, expertise and innovative ideas made the first 3 editions (3 years consecutive)
 extremely  successful.  Our directories are eye-catching and beautifully completed, and very
 appealing to the consumer.  Bluewater Business Promotions’ follow-up was equally as attentive
 as the work on the  publication.”

-  Marianne Braid, Director, and Chair of the Directory Committee, Huronia Foundation for the Arts



“Karen takes the clients concepts and  ideas... and  translates  them  into  printed  form,  magically
showcasing the essence and flavour of their organization or business.  Whether designing business
cards or publishing unique books,  Karen's  skill  and  attention to  detail has always  translated  into
spectacular works.  Thank you Karen, for treating each and every project you've ever done for me,
as if it were your own!   You have an amazing talent for taking an idea and bringing it's essence to
life on paper. Wow!”

-  Pat Robinson – Founder, Inward Bound Expressive & Healing Arts

“BlueWater  performed  outstanding   creative  work  on  our  2008 – 2009  Antique  &  Classic  Boat
Society Scholarship Endowment Fundraising brochure.   Working with BlueWater on the brochure
was a real pleasure for me and I know that the entire board appreciated the design  skills  and  the
informative approach taken in working with our organization.    Working  with  BlueWater  Business
Promotions provided ACBS with a beneficial “one stop” shop approach, providing design, printing
and assembly of our brochure, envelope and letterhead package.  This  made  the  job a  whole  lot
easier for us.  BlueWater's quick response in producing the handout flyer for next year’s pre events
and AGM in Muskoka and the quality of  the  material resulted in BlueWater being asked to do the
design work and printing for additional projects next year.”
