Textura Design, Veering Off Brand:

When you visit the Veer site, you get a whole “paint it they way you want thing.” Uhm … not so much. The creative professionals they’re marketing to can “Revel in what they create” from the 3 choices they give you. And, of course, up sell you to more. That’s a […]

What are the ads saying this long weekend? Not much, they’re all the same as last week. Apparently Plaza Del Sol hasn’t sold any condos in the last week, either that or they haven’t updated their ad. Though the Vulcan properties are advertising for the first time:
