Face It Bitter-Clingers … Biden Has Been A Far, Far More Successful President Than Trump

Mon, 2024-01-15 23:00 +0000

The proper response, whenever someone tells you that Biden has “failed” on the border, is to laugh in his or her face because that person is either very stupid or thinks that you are very stupid. America’s open-borders are INTENTIONAL.

They are not a failure; they are a resounding success … because the goal of the Left is to transform America into a socialist-based-on woke state.

The estimates that I have seen are 10 million new illegals since the Biden-Regime took over. Do you really believe that these people want to assimilate? The Biden-Regime is creating new countries within this country. And the vast majority of the residents of these new countries (and their children after them) will vote Democrat and give the Left permanent control of government.

But just keep pretending that America’s open-borders are a failure and that somehow we can work with and find common ground with the people who opened the borders in order to replace us.

A Bill To Protect Citizen’s Sexuality From Abuse and Negligence by Their Doctors

Mon, 2024-01-15 21:00 +0000

I have one purpose in writing this article: as a former trial attorney, I believe that it is a fundamental right of every man, woman, and child to seek Justice in our courts for legally recognized wrongs that they feel have damaged them.


On Tuesday, January 16, 2024, the Senate Judiciary Committee will hold a hearing on SB304-FN. This bill guarantees to all citizens- including those who see themselves as transgender – the right to seek justice when they feel they have been improperly abused, mutilated, and castrated by their medical care team, including their treating physicians and surgeons.

The bill would extend the legally recognized protections afforded by the New Hampshire medical malpractice laws (RSA 507E) to Gender transformation treatment and surgery, thereby giving all citizens, including those who identify as “transgender” folks, the same rights to seek justice as everyone else.

I hope to enlist your support. Please consider the following:

Imagine now that you are a very accomplished, high-powered Trial attorney. You have a big office with a big desk and lots of well-paid attorneys working for you. You are in very good standing with the legal profession and the courts, and you have sworn to provide legal services of the highest quality to all those who have a need that you can help fulfill.

On one wall of your office, you have a painting of the founding fathers signing the U S Constitution that they had drafted. On another wall, you have a picture of Martin Luther King with the words “Do Justice.”

Next to you on your credenza is a picture of Mom with the look that says, “Don’t be a scum  bag; help folks.”

You hear a knock on your door. The door opens, and your young paralegal ushers in your 2 o’clock appointment- a young lady who offers her name, Sandy. She is neatly dressed in a lady’s business suit; she wears minimal but appropriate earrings and a necklace. She has a small amount of make-up and appears quite lovely.

She sits in the chair directly opposite of you and opens the conversation by thanking you for agreeing to see her. You then ask her why she feels she needs a lawyer. 

In response, she opens up one of two briefcases she brought and pulls out two packages of photos. She directs you to the first package. It contains on top, a picture of her at 15, standing at the beach with her mom and dad. She looks happy and healthy and very much a beautiful young girl.

The next picture shows the same 15-year-old, very naked, in a surgical center, just moments before breast removal surgery. To your eye, her breasts appear to be quite normal and very attractive.

The next photo revealed the same young lady three months after surgery. Instead of the breasts she had, she now has a very noticeable, very substantial scar that essentially went from one side of where her breasts were to the other. 

You carefully put the photos back into the package and look at Sandy, who is now sobbing. She says nothing but asks you with a point of her finger to look at the second package.

The second package shows a photo- a very intimate photo- of what looks to be a very normal vagina. The next picture shows the same area only now, the picture is of a gaping surgically created “hole” where her vagina and uterus used to be. She has been laid completely raw, and you are looking at her muscle, her tendons, everything left once the skin and external female parts were removed.

The final picture, taken months later, shows the same area where her vagina had been. The open hole has been surgically stitched together, and in place of her vagina, there is an appendage extending from her body. The surgeons have taken the vaginal skin and attached it to her clitoris to form what vaguely looked like a penis.

Sandy waits for you to finish and then hands you two feet of medical records that she had in her second briefcase. As you thumb through them, what you see are medical records showing that she had taken hormones since she was thirteen, was still taking them, and was suffering serious side effects. The records also show that for about five years, she was constantly in need of surgical revisions to the original surgery to stop bleeding and to reform the disfigured areas that the surgeons created. Moreover, the records show that she had had surgery to transform her face with masculine lines, replacing her former female structures.

You turn then back to Sanday and ask her to somehow convey to you what you are seeing. ” I want to help you, Sandy. Please tell me what I am seeing and what you need from me.”

Sandy is now openly sobbing. She reaches again into her briefcase and pulls out more records. These are records from her various and numerous counselors and psychiatrists who saw her before and after her surgery. Before the surgeries, way before, when she was 13, these folks diagnosed her with “situational anxiety; bipolar depression; gender dysphoria.” 

“Was this your visit when they diagnosed you?” you ask.

“Yes,” she replies. “After only twenty minutes. They told me that there was a real danger I would commit suicide unless I had immediate treatment. They recommended to me that I undergo hormone treatment to become a boy and that after the hormone treatment succeded, I should have the transgender surgery. They told me it would make me healthy. And happy. “

“Did they tell you anything else?” you ask.

“Yes, they told me to listen to these podcasts of other transgenders so that I could learn all about how to be happy. I listened to only one but I listened every day.”

“Did you then have the “top” surgery where they removed your breasts?” you ask.

Yes, I did. Two years after the hormone treatment and two years of hiding my breasts with binding, I did what they recommended. They told me to use their surgeon as he is the best.”

“How did you feel before the surgery, and then how did you feel after?”

Before, I felt worried and hopeful. They assured me I would be “fixed” by the surgery. They told me that I was trapped in a woman’s body and that until I became a man, I would never have any chance to be normal. After the surgery, I was horrified. When the bandages came off and I saw the scar, I realized what I had not really understood – I no longer had breasts. I cut off my female body parts. I cried for weeks. My parents insisted I go back and see the counselors. I did, and I told them how unhappy and desperate I was. I told them I wanted my breasts back. For the next two years, they “counseled “me. They showed me all kinds of studies from universities like Yale that showed how great the surgery was. They told me that after I transitioned to being a man, I would lead a new life as the man I was supposed to be. They constantly told me to trust them and that I would become who  I was meant to be.

After two years of this “counseling,” I had the second surgery. When all the bandages came off and I saw my new male appendage dangling off where my vagina should have been, I was overwhelmed by a feeling of horror, I remember the surgeon telling me in the exam room how proud he was to see the new “penis” he had fashioned for me.

“Penis?” I screamed. “This is not a penis. It does nothing. It has no erection. It has no sperm. I cannot make love with it. It’s just a cartoon version of a penis, a piece of garbage that just tells me the crime you committed on me!” 

Sandy then paused. She then sobbed uncontrollably. 

She then said, ” I am a woman. They lied to me. They told me that I am a man inside a woman’s body… after talking to me for 15 minutes. I was only 15 years old. 

They told me I would be better off mentally and spiritually without my breasts. They told me they had done this breast removal to hundreds of young girls, and all of them were very pleased and had a new sense of freedom.  I have since learned that many of these girls who had the surgery hated it, regretted it, and regretted the lifelong scar they now had. Each one of them said they wanted to have their breasts back. “

Sandy sobbed again.” I will never know what my breasts will feel like when the husband I will never have touches them. I will never be able to breastfeed my children, which I now will never have. They lied to me.

They should have told me about all the girls who reacted as I did. If they had let me talk to them, let me see the scars they got, I would never have agreed to do this to myself.”

Sandy again paused but then continued, more angry than before.

“I told them I did not want the bottom surgery. I told them to stop all the transitioning hormones. I told them I wanted to remain a woman, have babies, a husband, and a home with children. They refused to listen. I was just 15. They told me I was going to commit suicide if I stopped. They arranged a Zoom call with a TikTok transgender, and he convinced me to trust the Doctors. So I did. And when I saw myself after the surgery, I realized really for the first time, I just let them butcher my womanhood -I let them cut me into a freak of nature with no hope ever to be the woman or the mom I know I now want to be. I stormed into their offices and yelled at them with all I had to yell with. They called security and told me to leave. They sent in a prescription for all kinds of drugs to calm me down. And then told me to get another Doctor.

I tried to commit suicide three times. I was committed to a 72-hour observation many more times. I don’t want to live inside the male body they surgically carved into me. The only thing that keeps me going is that I don’t want them to get away with this. I don’t want them to do this to anyone else. I want Justice.”

Question: if Sandy presented herself to you, and presented her story to you, and asked you to help her get “JUSTICE,” what would you do? Does she have a right to be heard.?Does she have a right to tell her story to a judge and a jury and ask them to render a fair and impartial verdict?

SB 304 fn says she does have that right.

NOTE: It does say she wins. It only says she has a right to be heard, a right to present her case to the jury and ask them to do justice.

The transgender lobby-well funded, well-heeled, well trained- says Sandy has no such right. They say that SB 304 fn should not be passed because people like Sandy should just SHUT THE HELL UP, STOP WHINING, TAKE THEIR NAROTIC DRUGS AND GO AWAY. Why? Because they say, “We are special. You cannot sue us. We are immune from being sued. Now go away.”

On Tuesday, whether or not Sandy and anyone like her has a right to seek Justice in the courts will be set down for hearing. If you want Sandy to have her day in court,  it is up to you to stand up for her. Make your view known. Attend the hearing and speak your piece.  I guarantee you the transgender folks will.  God bless them, but I hope they fail.

It’s up to you in more ways than you know.

NBC “News” Already Normalizing A Military Coup Against Trump

Mon, 2024-01-15 19:00 +0000

“Trump is Hitler.” “Trump is a dictator.” The Regime-Media, Big-Tech, and all the other usual suspects – most of whom couldn’t even define dictator because Joe Biden has been the most dictatorial President in history – have made this their mantra. Because?

Because what wouldn’t you do to stop the next Hitler? Answer: Nothing. Nothing is off the table to stop the next Hitler. NBC “News” has an article on today’s (1/15) RCP normalizing the idea of a military coup against Trump should Trump somehow get elected despite the rigging of the election:

Now, bracing for Trump’s potential return, a loose-knit network of public interest groups and lawmakers is quietly devising plans to try to foil any efforts to expand presidential power, which could include pressuring the military to cater to his political needs.

What NBC “News” is promoting is an insurrection or a coup. A military that answers to “a loose-knit network of public interest groups and lawmakers” and not the commander-in-chief is an insurrection or coup.

MONDAY MEMES

Mon, 2024-01-15 17:00 +0000

And yet another week starts with… mockery, ridicule, and occasional insights.

Take heart – there will be both a Wednesday and Friday Edition.  Last week’s Friday Edition.

Remember, ridicule and mockery are effective weapons:

  1. Ridicule cannot easily be fought
  2. Ridicule makes the enemy angry, and angry people make mistakes
  3. For those in the “squishy middle” a Thought Splinter (and Part II and Part III and Part IV) can often be hidden inside humor.

Now, let the mockery and mayhem begin.

 

*** Warning, a few possibly off-color ones, in case tender eyes are about ***

 

 

See the concept of the Thought Splinter again.

This quote applies:

“NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF THE HUMAN MIND TO BELIEVE WHAT IT WANTS TO BELIEVE, NO MATTER THE CONFLICTING EVIDENCE.”

Learn what you can while you can.  I just ordered another book on foraging.  And speaking about learning:

How to Learn Something New—And Make It Stick (duolingo.com)

 

 

Is there a precedent for this?  Any lawyers want to chime in?  I can’t imagine how it’s Constitutional – not that the Left gives a carp about that – to forbid the accused from speaking on their own behalf.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Comedian Evan Sayet – after his “waking up” (see this seminal essay) had this to say:

Hey, I know… let’s invite them in by the metric f*ckton.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Remember, in 2017 (!) what Fauci said:

 

 

This was one of the critical data points in my growing skepticism.  Working in my field, one learns to NEVER say things definitively – sometimes to the point where it’s so ingrained it bugs my wife.  The fact that he was so definitive, so sure, really rang my alarm bells.  Especially when, IIRC in 2022, he said some statement that was full of weasel words like should, and is likely to, etc.  The contrast really sticks out to me.

 

 

 

I don’t mean to be cruel, but… if you haven’t figured it out by now, make sure to take choline supplements for 30 days prior to your Jab.

The Grok does a good job of highlighting upcoming legislation; recently I made several posts about such in the NH Patriot Gab group based on their alerts.  But if you live in NH I also urge you to at least get on the mailing list of RebuildNH.

RebuildNH – Liberty for New Hampshire

As long as we still – at least in theory – have free speech and the right to petition our government, let’s use them.  Also don’t forget Jury Nullification.  Because IMHO we’re approaching the point where the fourth box is being increasingly seen by many as the only possible option… and if it starts – as I believe it will, alas?  I want my conscience to know and believe I tried everything else first.

Land grab, pure and simple.

 

 

 

 

 

Only one box?   I’ve targeted by new acquisition based on a conversation I had today.  Just to diversify my ammo use potential.  And, of course, at least 1000 rounds to go with it.

It’s not incompetence.  They made it up as a test to see who would obey.  And there are multiple videos out there of people screaming at people for not staying six feet apart, or being harassed out of stores for not wearing a mask.

Fear.  Fear, pure and simple.

 

 

Good point!  I remember when our kids were bottle-age, I’d mix a bit of peanut butter into their formula bottles.

 

 

 

 

What I want to know is – who still has faith in the government?

 

 

Basically, they don’t work.

 

 

 

 

Emotional decision-making is what drives the fear porn.  To wit, be afraid of climate doom:

 

 

 

Don’t forget to eat your bugs to save the planet!

 

 

 

When dealing with Democrats there’s always a caveat.

 

 

And I still vote to add dipping your finger in indelible ink to avoid people going from polling place to polling place in states that have same-day registration.

Can There Be Too Much Success

Mon, 2024-01-15 15:00 +0000

To us dinosaurs, life used to be a system of meritocracy. You worked and studied hard to get ahead at school, work, and life. You planned well and surrounded yourself with positive mentors. You were proud of your accomplishments, but not to the point of being brash. The action that disrupted the equilibrium was nepotism.

Because of this system, we continued to build a country on the excellence of its people. A few decades ago, things changed, and the system was turned upside down. Meritocracy was replaced with parity. It became the social norm to replace winners and losers with participants. Everyone played the game, and leaders in all facets of life were now chosen based on their grades on the DEI scale and not on the ABCs. Competency and excellence that once were colorblind are directly measured on one’s shade of the rainbow. This new scale does not improve society.

The sports and news worlds focused on Foxboro this week as the end of an era in New England Patriots history was marked by the departure of Coach Bill Belichick. The book is closed on a quarter century of excellence that was the envy of most and the target of hate and jealousy by some. There will always be questions about whether Brady or Belichick deserved the credit for the dynasty that brought six Lombardi trophies to Gillette Stadium and New England. I will yield to the sports folk to debate coach versus quarterback. I will tackle Kraft.

If not for Robert Kraft, pundits would not be debating the person responsible for the dynasty, for there would not be one. Like the rest of us, Kraft was a frustrated fan who cheered for a team that suffered from mediocrity for forty years. Everything changed with the team, town, and even New England when Kraft stepped up and bought the Patriots in 1994, preventing the team from moving to St. Louis and setting the stage for the most successful twenty years in a football franchise.

Kraft established a level of excellence that should be a model to learn from and emulate, but instead, some want to tear it down or watch it crumble. Excellence is no longer something to strive for but to avoid. Parity is the new norm. The demise of the Patriots since the departure of Tom Brady is not Bill Belichick’s or Robert Kraft’s fault. The Patriots are doing exactly what the league is designed to do: return to the pack. Free agency, the salary cap, and even the requirements for staff hiring are intended to prevent dynasties. Kraft is a dinosaur, like us, and will fight the norm, and my money is on him to succeed.

Many of us still remember the hapless Patriots. I saw my first game in 1964 at Fenway Park, one of the many homes of the Pats until Kraft built them a permanent residence. Knowing the past made us appreciate what Kraft, Belichick, and Brady gave us for twenty years. Fortunately for YouTube, we can relive those thrills with the click of a remote. But for our younger fans who know nothing but championships and duck boat parades, this period of rebuilding for the Patriots is a new and uncomfortable experience.

It is made more difficult because we were blessed with too much success, and damn, it was a great run. In this WOKE era, we should ensure our kids understand the how and why of the Patriots story. Maybe they will focus on propping up merit and success and reject those who want to suppress them with Woke. If this happens, this week will end an era, but WOKE and DEI, not excellence, will end.

Our Next Comment of the Week Winner Is…?

Mon, 2024-01-15 14:00 +0000

I remember way back in the early 2000s when I was exploring my politics. After 9/11, I wanted to know how that might happen and realized years of disinterest left me unprepared to discuss it. Politics. Some might argue I still am. But I tried to learn. I started with the Founding documents and kept going.

Lurking on websites was vital. I could read news and opinions and then skim through comments to see what others felt and why. The first time I dared to add, my voice was likely precarious, but it didn’t end badly. I think Early Red State (2005-2006), and I was nervous, but ideas must be laid out, explored, and tested right or wrong. A few years later, the pile of questions and ideas needed a better outlet, so I started a free WordPress blog. I still have it.

Many articles, connections, and years later, I’ve written on at least a dozen platforms, some for pay and others to get the questions, challenges, thoughts, and observations out of my head. I’m still doing this after fifteen-plus years and probably 25,000 pieces of content later, you probably want me to shut up and tell you who this week’s Commenter of Week is.

I will, but I said all that because we have a lot of folks who aren’t shy about sharing, and at least a few do it as themselves. That’s not a dig on those who don’t or can’t. You have your reasons, and I’m good with that, but at some point, any one of you might want to take the next step as I did, and we’re here for you even if you don’t want to use your actual name. We need to know who you are, but no one else does.

So, congrats to NHnative. You are this week’s winner for this. It wasn’t just a comment but an excellent idea.

 

One of the most significant plagues rotting NH is our court system… reading this article, I don’t have to tell you how bad it is.

I’d like to know why this is okay with the residents of NH, first of all.

Second, I’d like everyone to know that it’s not that hard today to find yourself IN this corrupt court/legal system.. it’s only then will most people understand what a crisis we’ve got here that just rolls on with seemingly no real efforts to fix anything.
So yes, this does really impact us all.

It’s not really IF you’ll have a turn, it’s when.

The majority of folks in NH don’t have the extra money to hire attorneys and take this on like Laurie did.. and this is precisely how this system is designed to work.

Laurie, what I’d love to see you do is start a non-profit, build a team, and help citizens learn what they need to know to represent themselves pro-se to go to court.
NH has a shortage of attorneys, and it’s become more clear that We, The People out here, need somewhere we can go to learn the ropes of taking more and more on ourselves in court.

 

NHnative, if you’d be so kind as to email me an address I can ship to, I’ll send you your “prize.”

To everyone else, again, damn difficult decision. We’ve got more commenters and comments this week, and again, I can only afford to reward one a week at the moment, but I can still give you a shout-out because there was plenty of great stuff. David Ss, Mike Remski, Bowana, Josue Lugo, Neil Johnson, Dan Batten, Gary Davis, Old Vet, Rick O’Shea, Bryan W, Steve Earle, LunarDog made me laugh (was not a finalist for that), Asperous for “Stop referring to “Lia Thomas” as she/her,” NITZAKHON, gramps, Jay Eshelman, Tombstone Gabby, and more.

As a reminder, if you see a comment you think should be considered, email it to me. In the first two weeks, I received one of those, and I’d like a few more each week if possible.

Thanks for reading and commenting!

Distancing Themselves From Social Distancing

Mon, 2024-01-15 13:00 +0000

We were a few months into the COVID chaos – well past the two weeks or fifteen days or whatever the narrative had shifted to to flatten the curve. Masks were not just a mandate but a political statement, and social distancing dots had appeared on floors across the land—six feet, they said, which made no sense.

We went looking and uncovered a source on all things social distancing.

No one can prove it works or does not. There are no clinical trials. In fact, the basis for the theory comes from a 14-years old’s high school science project back in 2006. A computer model developed with the help of her dad, who has no medical training or experience.

Much like medical or cloth masks and quarantining healthy people, none of which had any basis in science, the Machine Media took up the call. Fearmongering pied pipers spread the message across the land, stealing the lives of children in their wake as schools stayed locked down and those that opened months later mandated masks and, yes …distancing.

Last week, one of the founding fathers of COVID-era medical fraud, Tony ‘Little Shoes’ Fauci, admitted under oath that “guidelines to keep six feet of separation — ostensibly to limit the spread of COVID-19 — “sort of just appeared” without scientific input.”

Did someone make it up? They did. It started with then-14-year-old Laura M. Glass, who has long since distanced herself from her “work.” But back then,

Laura, with some guidance from her dad, devised a computer simulation that showed how people – family members, co-workers, students in schools, people in social situations – interact. What she discovered was that school kids come in contact with about 140 people a day, more than any other group. Based on that finding, her program showed that in a hypothetical town of 10,000 people, 5,000 would be infected during a pandemic if no measures were taken, but only 500 would be infected if the schools were closed.

That experiment later became the basis for a paper by Laura’s dad, Robert, “a complex-systems analyst with Sandia National Laboratories. He had no medical training, much less an expertise in immunology or epidemiology.” Robert was the lead author of Targeted Social Distancing Designs for Pandemic Influenza (his daughters also get credit), and, again – he had zero medical training or public health experience, which invited a scathing refutation by some actual medical professionals.

There are no historical observations or scientific studies that support the confinement by quarantine of groups of possibly infected people for extended periods in order to slow the spread of influenza. … It is difficult to identify circumstances in the past half-century when large-scale quarantine has been effectively used in the control of any disease. The negative consequences of large-scale quarantine are so extreme (forced confinement of sick people with the well; complete restriction of movement of large populations; difficulty in getting critical supplies, medicines, and food to people inside the quarantine zone) that this mitigation measure should be eliminated from serious consideration

One of the authors of that refutation was D.A. Henderson, who is credited with eradicating smallpox, so when the time came to ask whether lockdowns and distancing were sound, the “experts” chose the paper by the systems analyst and his teenage daughter and not the world of a real scientist with practical global experience.

Three years later, Fauci forgets the backstory and goes with, yeah, we don’t know, and no one checked. So, drunken-brainstorming at the CDC or NIH. That would explain a lot about how the situation was mishandled and one of the legitimate digs on the Trump presidency. He let Fauci run the show for too long, and while he openly commented on things with which he disagreed – death percentages were too high, defending the efficacy of HCQ and Ivermectin, it wasn’t enough to protect us from Fauci and his microphone-addicted, attention whores whose guidance on more than just distancing just appeared and – in some cases – contradicted existing scientific input.

“It is clear that dissenting opinions were often not considered or suppressed completely. Should a future pandemic arise, America’s response must be guided by scientific facts and conclusive data.”

That sounds like a mea culpa, but he is also reported to have said: “that the policies and mandates he promoted may, unfortunately, increase vaccine hesitancy for years to come.”

I’m guessing Facui still has a vested financial interest in vaccine uptake, so that statement, to my mind, is less about public health and more about Fauci’s financial legacy.

How to Make Custom Keyrings That Stand Out: An Actionable Guide to Design Strategies

Mon, 2024-01-15 12:16 +0000

Custom keyrings are multipurpose items with many advantages for businesses. These advantages include creating a memorable brand presence, marketing that is affordable, customised branding, increased client loyalty, and word-of-mouth advertising.

Furthermore, they function as useful and practical advertising items that are exceptionally effective. Businesses must place a high priority on having a superior keyring design if they want to take advantage of all these benefits. In this article, we will explore effective design tips for custom keyrings that guarantee the fullest possible utilisation of their advantages and create a lasting impact on everyone who sees them.

Effective Custom Keyrings: Design Tips for Optimal Impact

To get the maximum benefits of custom keyrings for businesses, these useful design tips must be included in every design strategy. 

Integrate your brand story

A brand story is a narrative that conveys the core principles, goals, and distinctive character of a brand. To fully reap the benefits of these indispensable promotional objects, you must incorporate your business’s story into the design of your custom keyrings as a fundamental practice. Your brand’s mission and values, logo and visual identity, unique selling proposition, personality, cultural influences, interactive elements, and future vision are all components of your brand story. These strategies improve customer engagement, word-of-mouth marketing, memorability, differentiation, brand consistency, and long-lasting impression. They also foster an emotional connection between your brand and the consumer.

Maintain a minimal design for effective custom keyrings

For promotional items to advance clarity of message, timeless appeal, versatility, improved brand recognition, ease of integration of promotional tactics, lower production costs, ease of use, and user-friendliness, their design must be minimalistic. Practices like simplifying shapes, incorporating a simple colour scheme, concentrating on essential components of your brand or message, incorporating clean topography, utilising whitespace, adhering to a consistent design language, maximising scale and proportion, emphasising a single focal point in the design, and streamlining logo elements are some ways to keep the custom keyrings’ design simple.

Consider your target audience when creating custom keyrings

How your brand’s audience will feel about the custom keyrings will have a major impact on their success as marketing tools. Cultural sensitivity, perceived exclusivity, usefulness and practicality, brand connection, relevance and appeal, aesthetic preferences, perceived quality, and word-of-mouth impact should all be evaluated.
