Partner vs. Vendor

Posted on March 16, 2015 by admin

Partner – vs – Vendor

Vendors: Vendors are hired for a single project. With no guarantee of future work from you, they must make as much money now as they can.

Partners: Partners, on the other hand, approach your work with a long-term commitment to creating a win-win situation for all involved. Knowing that there could be (or will be) more projects in the future, they always work skillfully and efficiently to prove their worth.

We’ll never be a vendor. For many reasons. We take incredible pride in each client, each account, and each project. We see the value in partnerships. We believe our clients do as well.

Which begs the question: Are you looking for a partner or a vendor? : )

Tomorrow, tomorrow, we love ya

Just a head’s up that National Pie Day begins in just a few short hours. Not to be confused with Pi day (on 3.14) – tomorrow is truly a celebration of delicious crust and filling.

Declared a holiday in 1986 by the American Pie Council (Who knew there was such a thing?!), we are called “to pause amidst the hectic pace of everyday life” and eat pie. Sounds like a plan.

For those interested in celebrating it with us, our favorites are Banana Cream, Apple or Pumpkin. : )

Welcome, Justin!

Here’s your chance to get to know 2-Story’s new Web Developer extraordinaire.

What do you never leave the house without?

Justin: Wallet, cell phone and chap stick.

You’re a family man. What is the most audacious thing your children have done under your watch?

Justin: One day last fall I was watching a Packer game before work. My son asks me “Dad, can I turn on cartoons?” My response was clearly a no. He then responded (of course with the rest of the kids agreeing), “Dad, all you do is watch sports.” That’s when I had my “Why I oughta!” and “Back in my day…” moment and sent the kids outside to go rake leaves.

Sounds audacious. Way to be efficient… Now, be careful about the following answers…Walker’s Point or the East Side?

Justin: Walker’s Point! My grandparents grew up here and my father, grandfather and I all went to Milwaukee Tech H.S.

Mad Men or Arrested Development?

Justin: Arrested Development. I always prefer a comedy.

Soufflé or Pâté?

Justin: Soufflé. I was a fat kid growing up, so I love cake.

What are some of your favorite things about Milwaukee?

Justin: Beer, brats, and cheese… the normal things people like about Milwaukee. Well, the long winters, short summers, and unpredictable weather are pretty great, too.

Is web developing more like knitting or peanut butter & jelly? And why?

Justin: Probably more like knitting. I spent too long trying to come up with a clever way to relate it to PB&J, because I love PB&J. But no luck, it’s like knitting.

Mac or PC?

Justin: Mac

What are some of your hobbies?

Justin: I enjoy playing basketball, watching sports and drawing. Oh, Fantasy Football, too.

Tell us a secret about yourself. Just kidding, you don’t have too. But really, fill us in.

Justin: I had a mullet in 2^nd and 3^rd grade that evolved into a shaved head with long bangs in the 6^th grade.

Last but not least, what do you have to say about being the only guy at 2-Story? (At least for the time being.)

Justin: Well, I guess I’m the most handsome and intelligent guy that works here.

Wise words, Justin, wise words.

Woo-hoo!
