Internet Services
Marketing Make Over creates websites that save money spent on mail-outs and menus, are cost effective and provide an additional means of producing revenue.

Training Classes
The classes consist of two sections: motivation and marketing. The motivational portion is a great way to expose your staff to the direct effect of customer service and provides a way for them to identify and own their own personal power in the customer service arena. During the marketing portion, participants gain pride in their work as they learn easy and effective ways to brighten a serving line.

Designs for Kitchen, Serving, and Dining Areas
Designs for efficient operation and eye-popping looks---creative and cost-effective use of materials--- designs based on an understanding of the psychology of users--- are the bread and butter of Marketing Make Over. The facilities we designed and re-modeled have consistently stood the test of time for providing good looks and increasing the bottom line.

Annette Lansdowne

Annette is a multi-faceted entrepreneur whose creative outlet has always been expressed through design. In addition, her experience in the world of art and marketing provides a broad range of expertise and provides exceptional value for her clients. After having been art curator for Standard Oil for 12 years, purchasing and displaying the corporation’s extensive art collection, Annette began designing for the hospitality field in 1986. Her design clients include restaurants and clubs in and around Houston, Texas and in the international community as well. In addition to designing clubs and restaurants, she has owned and operated them. Her experience as a restauranteur provides practical, hands-on knowledge and perspective in her designs. This allows her to create projects that are as utilitarian as they are attractive.

Wholly Guacamole, a magazine produced and published by Annette, was designed to meet the needs of food service directors nationwide. This magazine provided timely information on food processes, equipment, and décor in an easy-to-read, colorful and comfortable manner, reflecting the personal style which Annette brings to all clients.

Over the last 17 years, Annette’s focus has moved from the private sector to the public arena as she began designing and remodeling school cafeteria and dining facilities. For traditional institutional facilities, she creates an exciting and colorful atmosphere normally only found in public restaurants. The results provide not only a more pleasant environment for students and staff, but increase sales… as much as 20% in some cases.

Being aware of the decreasing budgets, Annette now offers marketing training and décor items that bring color and interest to any food service line for just a few dollars through her Market Magic book.

Annette and Marketing Make Over offer a complete range of design and décor items. She has the experience and creativity to design “showpiece” facilities within limited budgets that are timeless in their look and yet practical.
