Why do I ask? Today I had a client tell me that a co-worker had mentioned to him, "oh, you're going to Typestries, aren't they too expensive for that type of project?"
That one line got me to thinking.....do you know us a specialty high end sign shop, or your all-around business promotion, sign, banner and graphic resource?
In many cases, we can offer you many of the sign products you may be looking to a "discount" source for-the internet, or the big box, with all the personalized service and eye catching artwork we are know for, at very competitive prices. We've geared up to provide you with affordable and effective sign and graphic solutions for the new economic reality of our world. We've added equipment and material sources that improve our efficiency, all with the goal to provide a better product to you at a very competitive price that meets your budget.
Have a budget sensitive job? A tough quote to beat? Give us a shout, we'll do all we can to get you a great product at a great price.
Ever wonder what else a product from a sign and large format graphic shop can do, besides hanging on or sitting in front of your business?
How about light up your sales, at a time when doing so isn't that easy by utilizing only traditional marketing techniques.
See how the big guys are doing it? Best Buy, Dicks, Publix, HBO, Cold Stone, Moes--they all utilize the traditional--TV, Radio, Print, Direct Mail, and the non-traditional: Vehicle advertising, custom storefronts, large window and building wraps, giant banners, custom interior point of purchase and point of sale graphics, wall wraps and custom logo wallpaper, promo banners and roadside signs.
There's a huge benefit to the use of multiple medias, and, the really great thing, your business can harness the marketing muscle of these medias--all with greater ease--and lower cost, than you might imagine.
That's because sign and large format graphic shops like ours have the design and production capability to produce all of the great, super effective graphic tools the big guys use, on a quantity, scale, and budget that's right for your business. So, next time something catches your eye, consider the fact that there's a way to apply that to your very own business, no matter the size of your operation. Our capabilities include production from one piece for one location to thousands of pieces for many locations. From one vehicle to a fleet of hundreds. Think that "crazy" marketing concept is unrealistic or out of reach? It's probably not! Reach out and challenge us.....888-597-3399......and put the power of non traditional advertising to work for your business.
It's the time of year when many American's have one thing on their minds.....REFUND! As in income tax refund.
If you are a paid preparer, do income taxes, e-filing, rapid refunds, and offer income tax services, we have an economical, effective, fast-acting advertising tool for you.
We have a line of lawn/roadside signs that are in stock, ready for immediate shipment or pickup. You can place theses signs in your windows, or on your lawn in front of your office for immediate added exposure. Even better, you can order as few as one sign (if choosing our stock designs) or as few as 6 if you would like the design customized with your name, phone number, or address for placement throughout your town.
These signs are affordable- just $19.95 including the stake (and, we'll ship them for FREE). We offer discounts on quantities over 10 pieces. Give us a call or email for more information or to place your order.
Over the years we have had many requests for some type of interior retail promotional display. Since many of our clients are small one to 20 location operations, they don't get the fancy displays the big chains get. Yet, they want that "look." Problem is, like trade show stuff, most retail POP stuff is prohibitively expensive in one off or small quantities.
Enter this unique product, the AdStand. I actually stumbled upon it at a trade show. I initially wrote it off, until the salesman stopped me later on. Begrudgingly, I took three in for sampling. I though "you've got to be kidding." How can a modern-looking, earth-friendly retail display at that price point actually look good?
Well, Today I finally printed one off on our Gandinnovations Jeti flatbed. I have to say, considering the price of the frame and printable sleeve, it looks really darn nice. Nice enough that it's worth considering for your retail store, lobby or trade show needs. Nice enough that we've got one in our own lobby!
This green product gives the small retailer an upscale POP piece they can afford. Since we have an in house industrial flatbed printer that prints with UV curing inks, we printed it directly onto the card stock sleeve. And, we can customize each side with different graphics should the need arise. Even better, since they are printed digitally, if you need a large quantity, each piece can actually have different artwork. Better yet, we can supply you with additional sleeves so you can re-use the stand over and over for changing promotions or seasons.
The overall size of the stand is 20" wide and 70" high, and it features a clean, sleek looking curved graphic panel. The panel, frame and base are made from recyclable materials and can be recycled.
Distributing these stands across multiple locations is a breeze thanks to their modular nature. They fold down into one carton that ships standard UPS and weighs less than 20 lbs.

Now, the sign boards, the blog, flickr, craigslist, and now facebook, too. How will I get anything done.......
Our very own clam, shown above, is still a tongue in cheek work in progress. But, there are some really beautiful pieces of art on these clams, created by local artists and other signmakers whose talent is remarkable. They serve the dual purpose of attracting attention to the sponsoring business, and the reclam the bay organization.
We have a client that moved into a very commercial location. So much so that the building has multiple garage bays facing the highway. Suffice it to say that the town approved the construction of these buildings about 10 years ago, before their "vision" of a downtown setting was put into place. Now, the town permits only non-illuminated sandblasted signs. And, because of the buildings location, no roadside sign is permitted. The only sign on the building is a large illuminated lightbox, a backlit sign, that was again, approved and installed way before the downtown "vision." Since this building is so non-conforming, the town seems to watch it like a hawk. Our client's attempts to use a sandwich board sign (a -frame) at the sidewalk was rejected. Banners advertising specials-rejected. Pennants-rejected! These do not meet the new "downtown" look.
Hence, our solution to the problem. This vehicle, while not your typical mobile vehicle advertising content, serves a very specific purpose. And, it works very well. Parked prominently by the street, this vehicle gives our client the needed advertising push his type of business requires. The response? An immediate upswing in the number of new clients stopping in to have vehicles cleaned.
Have a tough location with restrictive sign codes? Consider a special purpose vehicle or utility trailer to give you the added advertising boost you need to get noticed and succeed in our tough economy.
Sadly, the 419 scams are back, and considering the state of the economy as of late, are probably only going to get worse.
They seem to be particularly persistent with small businesses that make things, obviously figuring out that any business owner would "love" a big order that's "prepaid" on a credit card.
Recently, we even fell for a 419 scam, partway, at least. Here's a photo of a banner, printed as part of an "order" from a 419 scammer.
It seems that Reverend Bently Cole was kind enough to trick our own staff ( a Reverend's wife, no less) into thinking his order for "God" banners was real.
Fortuantely our losses were a minimum, our egos bruised mainly. BUT serves as a vivid reminder of the cleverness of web scammers.
