There should be only one boat that comes to mind for luxury sportfishing in Kona, Hawaii: TOPSHAPE. It is, quite simply, in a class by itself. As Captain Al, the owner and operator of TOPSHAPE, likes to make clear: there is Kona fishing and there is TOPSHAPE fishing. This makes sense: there is chocolate and […]
One of the most cost-effective, revenue-generating thing a business can do is upgrade its signage. The saying that signs don’t cost; they pay is certainly true in most instances. One of our recently completed projects is new signage for the Alii Gardens Marketplace. This is a nice, open-air market on Alii Drive. Popular with tourists […]
A few months ago, one of Coach Walters’ sons, Brett, came in to Kona Impact asking if we’d design a new logo for the football team. We immediately knew this would be a “community project”; that is, something we do at no charge for a good cause in the community. Kona Impact does a lot […]
More and more people are turning to the internet to find local providers of services. In fact, it was over two years ago that more people began searching for local providers online than using phone books. As such, a local business that wants to attract local customers or clients is missing a big marketing mojo […]
Looking for a great Kona snorkeling tour? There are many options–from small six person boats to large, crowded vessels. Our favorite…and new client…is Sea Paradise.

The problem is that almost all cell […]
One of the best things about living in Kona, Hawaii is the ocean. With the Kona Impact office a block away, we often find ourselves going for a stroll and looking out at the magnificent Pacific Ocean. One of our new clients runs a glass bottom boat tour tour from Kailua Bay. What we love […]
Our office will be closed from Friday, May 27, through Monday, May 30. We will reopen again on Tuesday. Have an enjoyable Memorial Day, and don’t forget to remember those who have given so much to make America what it is today. They deserve our thanks and gratitude!
In the early days of Kona Impact, we would do business with anyone who came in the door. I think most businesses are like this when they begin–desperate for customers and willing to do anything to make expenses for that month. Now, after several years, we are a bit more picky. We often invoke what […]
Bye-Bye Borders The end of the Kona Border’s store has finally arrived. I’ll miss the ability to get trade and reference books quickly, though at a premium cost compared to online, and locally. The selection of books available in Kona is now fairly limited for specialty topics, magazines, and kid’s books. There are a few […]
