Not Every Customer Works Out But We Love to Help

We had a customer over the last couple of days from Thailand who eventually we figured out was looking for a wall map and not an electronic map. But because of time difference, language and just not sure what they were looking for we sold them a CD-ROM of our maps. We had emails, missed phone calls in the middle of the night, everything. We finally connected today and were able to figure out what the customer wanted. We refunded the CD and gave them as much info as we could figure out of where to go. Suggesting looking for maps from our competitors, from sites in Australia, Singapore, and Thailand. It truly is a global world. Customers come from all over and we are glad to pick up the phone and just talk. All in the day of a global web based business. Sometimes the world is really pretty small.

"Hello Bruce Jones,

Thank you very much for your good support and suggestion. I’m really sorry to make you lose time.
If I have any job that concern about your software, I happy to contact you and buy your software again."

United Kingdom in All Its Detail


One of our favorite PowerPoint maps is our United Kingdom map. This map which includes England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland is broken down by administrative districts. To get this map we had to contact and license it from Great Britain's Ordnance Survey (OS). I think they are kind of like our US Geological Survey with some Copyright Office thrown in. This map took a long time to draw and I think it ended up pretty well. I enjoy working on these complex map, I often image myself in the areas that I am drawing.

This map is broken down by administrative districts includes surrounding countries, in color with district names and capitals, editable objects. Very detailed map for building sales and marketing territories and regions.

Like all of our maps the administrative districts are individual objects that can be colored and changed so you can build a regional territory map. Add a star for an office, change colors, edit text, pull out sections to highlight a region.

Each map comes already placed into a PowerPoint slide ready for customizing. Names, color, fully editable, PowerPoint map.

We Have a Home Page


Yea, the home page for www.mapsfordesign is looking great. Lots of color and pictures of maps. It is looking like a real site. And with the continual addition of new maps it is pulling itself together.

Fixing Some of the Art

The process of getting the text and art correct is a huge process. Because when you work with maps, say the US State maps, if you make a change, you then have to go back and make 50 changes. The site is getting better and better. We have our detailed county maps ready to go up. That is this weeks job.
