VanDesign was established as a freelance business in 1981. VanDesign consistently acted as a secondary income to a permanent professional position, in the graphic design/marketing industry, held by the now principal owner. Clients at the time were all encompassing with a wide variety of advertising and design needs. In 1990, based in Massachusetts, VanDesign was relaunched into a New England based, full time marketing, advertising and design firm. At the time of the launch, 85 percent of VanDesign's clientele were secondary school or college related. Every possible promotional material was researched and produced for several admission offices. The goal of course was to increase the actual yield of admitted students. It was a very successful launch, for within the first year of business VanDesign grossed more income than the previous years combined. VanDesign (currently located in Gilmanton, New Hampshire) is now a successful, nationally based, recognized agency with clients throughout the United States and Canada. With a background and a serious interest in the equine marketplace, VanDesign has slowly shifted it's client base to acquire an 85 percent equine related clientele. Our clients include; manufacturers of horse clothing/equipment and rider apparel; farm management/veterinary software; fine jewelry; tack shops; breeding stallions; national horse shows; etc. VanDesign still maintains approximately 15 percent of it's business in other areas. VanDesign has actively pursued other ventures by creating Gestures™, a part of the Yearling Division™ of VanDesign. Gestures™ is a series of note cards, with horse related illustrations, that are sold at various tack shops and horse shows/events nationwide. Introduced in 1995, also under the Yearling Division™, are Foxy-T's. A series of Fox Hunt related T-shirts. These shirts are being actively marketed and sold in the Fox Hunting segment of the equine industry only. Gross billings to date have more than doubled every year since the business' relaunch. Within the next five years VanDesign's goal is to diversify more fully into the wholesale/retail marketplace with the Yearling Division™ product line. On an annual basis, VanDesign's future goals include but are not limited to, maintaining our successful growth levels to date and ensuring the quality of our services to our current clientele as well as to potential customers. The future looks very prosperous with the $25 billion dollar equine industry as VanDesign has created a niche role in a very unique marketplace. VanDesign is one of only a handful of nationally known agencies primarily pursuing the equine client.
