			Welcome to Mind Vault Solutions   If this is your first time here the questions below may shed some light on just what it is that goes on here.   If you're already in the know you can dig right in through our main menu.   Frequently Asked Questions   Q: What is Mind Vault Solutions? Mind Vault Solutions is an intentionally small new media marketing and graphic design firm that provides a variety of business marketing and design solutions to small and medium-sized businesses on an as-needed basis.   Q: What do you mean by "intentionally small"? Why would any business not want to be as large as possible? Because, quite simply, times have changed, and service providers must now be more nimble and creative than ever in their ability to meet client needs. Mind Vault is engineered to expand its staff when project volume requires it, and then immediately contract when this demand is reduced. This elasticity is what allows Mind Vault to offer project and hourly rates that are often considerably lower than those of a traditional marketing / design firm.   Q: What do you mean by "on an as-needed basis"? Many small businesses today, especially those just starting out, will find it difficult to impossible to serve all of their initial marketing needs by utilizing only on-staff talent, and because hiring additional staff is often equally implausible, a partnership with Mind Vault can give your business the marketing it needs to get off the ground, or stay off the ground, as you need it, with no additional staff, and with none of the budget commitments required by large firms.   Q: What types of "Marketing" and "Design" services does Mind Vault provide? Mind Vault Solutions assists small and medium-sized businesses with services such as social media integration, professional email marketing, surveys, search engine optimization (SEO), website and application hosting, website design and development, logo design, business card design, print / press layouts of all types, graphic design, FLASH Animation, podcasts, RSS, directional marketing consultation, campaign building, and more. Check out our services section for a complete outline of our services.   Q: How long has Mind Vault been in business? Mind Vault Solutions was founded in March of 2004 to provide small and medium-sized businesses with technologically advancing marketing and design services.   Q: How many employees does Mind Vault have? Mind Vault Solutions boasts only one full time employee, company founder Aaron Di Blasi. The remainder of the MVS staff is comprised of an independent network of design, marketing, and information technology professionals that Aaron manages according to client needs.   Q: What types of businesses will benefit most from a partnership with Mind Vault? Since every business will require some form of brand exposure in order to prosper we can confidently say, "all of them", though smaller businesses will see additional benefit in our thorough explanations of the advantages, and disadvantages, of each of your various marketing options, as smaller businesses often do not have a dedicated marketing professional on staff.   Q: I've just started a business. Can Mind Vault help me get my business off the ground? Starting a business is a hectic time. There are so many questions to be answered and all of them needed to be answered yesterday. At Mind Vault we understand this, have been through this with many clients, and can assist you in identifying priorities as well as designing and developing a logo, website, and business cards, and then identifying and/or assisting you with the implementation of any other marketing initiatives that you may wish to consider as your business grows.   Q: We are a Medium-Sized Business with a dedicated Marketing Professional on staff. How can we still benefit from a partnership with Mind Vault? Often, the task of a dedicated, on-staff marketing professional is to keep an eye on the big picture, or overall brand of the company, and to make certain that the brand is being used consistently and in accordance across all marketing mediums. This specificity also means that, more often than not, your marketing professional will not also be a web developer, graphic designer, pre-press technician, or any of a myriad other specific skill-sets required to accomplish and maintain modern day marketing initiatives. This is where Mind Vault can assist your on-staff marketing professional by working under them to provide any marketing or graphic design services that they may require, on an as-needed basis.
