GuRuStu Group Producing 3D Move Music Wonderwall For Tulsa Mayfest

Beverly Tilley McDaniel — Tue, 08 May 2012 18:21:01 +0000

Tulsa Mayfest is set for May 17-20 this year and will celebrate its 40th birthday.
GuRuStu Group is excited to be a part of Mayfest once again this year.

Last year we designed a new mobile app for Mayfest (mayfestmobile.com). The app allows visitors to quickly fine show times, food vendors, and artist locations.

This year GuRuStu Group designed a new website for Mayfest (TulsaMayfest.org). Plus, in honor of Mayfest’s 40th Anniversary, GuRuStu Group is producing a 3D “move music wonderwall”, sponsored by Cricket Communications. We hope you will come out for Mayfest and watch as the 22-story, 320 S. Boston Building is morphed into a three-dimensional work of moving design.

The GuRuStu Group was pleased to learn we were recognized on the website One Page Love, the ultimate showcase of one page websites. We were recognized for our work on the Joe Momma’s Back to School Battle of the Bands website. This website was a one page site designed and donated to promote an annual event held in downtown Tulsa by business owner, Blake Ewing. The event features sets by local high school bands and through paid votes raises much needed funds to benefit Youth Services of Tulsa.

We are so pleased it was recognized on One Page Love and even more pleased with the success of the event. Many, many thanks to all those who attended and helped raise money for Youth Services of Tulsa. Good luck to all the bands as they go back to school this year. Everyone was so great.

Visitors to Mayfest were able to utilize the map’s search feature to locate their favorite food vendors, their favorite artists, as well as, view the festival’s entertainment schedule.

We had a great time working with organizers of Mayfest and look forward to an even bigger and better event next year.

Website Design in Tulsa – What’s Your Favorite Flavor at Josh’s Sno Shack?

Beverly Tilley McDaniel — Mon, 16 May 2011 13:00:27 +0000

Summer is quickly approaching and nothing says summer fun in Tulsa more than nice refreshing shaved ice from Josh’s Sno Shack.

The GuRuStu Group recently designed a new website for Josh’s and had a great time sketching the entire Josh Family to appear on the new site. Now Josh’s fans can enjoy caricatures of their favorite ‘Baristeskimos’ or those who serve snow cones.

Stop by one of Josh’s Sno Shacks and pick your favorite flavor. Then visit their new website at http://www.joshssnoshack.com and mark the “like” button next to your favorite flavor to see your name appear on their website and share your favorite flavor on your Facebook page.

My personal favorite flavor is ‘Charlie Brown’, a scrumptious blend of banana and chocolate, sure to turn any average Joe into a Good Man. Try one and soon folks will be telling you too, “You’re a good man, Charlie Brown”. And isn’t that what it’s all about, staying cool, having fun, and being good.

The GuRuStu Group is an interactive media and design agency in downtown Tulsa, specializing in branding, marketing and web design. We hope you enjoy your summer and get to try many of the different flavored snow cones from Josh’s Sno Shack. Be sure to check their website often for special promotions and offerings.

The GuRuStu Group can help you with powerful ads and innovative ways to incorporate new technology into your advertising and marketing measures. We would enjoy the opportunity to discuss your branding and marketing strategies.

QR Codes Tulsa – GuRuStu Group’s 2011 Mayfest Mobile Map & QR Code

Beverly Tilley McDaniel — Thu, 05 May 2011 14:00:33 +0000

What are QR Codes? How do they work?

You’ve probably seen them, but may not have understood their purpose.

They look like miniature crossword puzzles, but really they are powerful marketing tools.

Try it yourself! The next time you see a QR code, scan it with your phone and see how it works. You’ll quickly understand the power of its marketing capabilities. Or better yet, come to Mayfest and scan our QR Code for the Mayfest Mobile Map. The GuRuStu Group is sponsoring the 2011 Mayfest in downtown Tulsa. We’re building a Mobile Mayfest Map to allow visitors to find all their favorite artists, entertainment and foods.

http://www.MayfestMobile.com (Launching soon!)

Using your mobile device, you will be able to scan the QR Code printed on Mayfest posters and banners throughout the event and you will be directed to the the mobile map.

QR codes are an emerging technology. They are not quite main stream yet, but they are catching on quickly. The acronym “QR” actually stands for “quick response” code. At a rapidly growing pace, more and more of these codes are being used across advertising mediums.

QR codes look like little digital squares or mini-crossword puzzles. You can easily find them in magazines and online advertisements. They are being used to share additional information about services, products, and locations to people with smart phones. The reason being is that QR codes must be scanned in order to be read. Smart phones have a built in QR reader. In fact, QR readers are becoming a standard feature on most cell phones today.

To scan a QR code, you simply take a picture of the code with your smart phone camera. Once the code is scanned by your phone’s camera, it can take you to a website, map, or even call a phone number. The destination depends on how the QR code was programmed to function.

The technology is amazing, but how can it benefit you? Think about your own ads, your business cards, your flyers, and basically any promotional material you customarily give away. Wouldn’t it be great to be able to provide even more information? Perhaps you would like to link people to your website or a YouTube video! The possibilities of the QR code are endless.

Here’s a free source to make your very own QR code: http://www.QRstuff.com

You can make a QR code and download it. Print it on labels, t-shirts, mugs, or even your business card.

But keep in mind the technology is mobile. So anything you do with the QR code should be mobile friendly. For example, don’t direct people to a website with a lot of animation or one that is not mobile friendly.

Also, the technology is still emerging, so don’t rely merely on the QR code alone. But rather use it to enhance your ads and to provide valuable information that is more effective in a mobile version.

The GuRuStu Group can help you with powerful ads and innovative ways to incorporate new technology like QR codes in your advertising and marketing measures.
