One day, a hungry fox spotted a big bunch of grapes hanging from the vine of a tree. The grapes looked large and juicy, and the fox’s mouth watered as he gazed at the grapes.

The grapes were very high on the tree, so the fox had to jump for them. He made several attempts, and even backed way up and took a running leap at the grapes, only to fall short. He tried again and again until he was exhausted and disgusted. After working for hours to reach the unattainable grapes, the fox walked away scornfully, muttering to himself, “I don’t want them anyway… they’re probably sour.”

If your business is struggling to find the perfect mix to stay in touch with your customers, you may want to consider a blend of print and digital marketing.

Chances are you are already using digital marketing to promote your business, whether it be your website, online ads, or social media. While digital media is essential, print is also a powerful marketing tool that is universal, credible, durable, and portable.

Many people still prefer looking at print materials at their leisure without being connected to a computer. The chances of a customer flipping through more pages in a print catalog are much higher than randomly clicking through various pages on your website, increasing exposure to a wider variety of products. In addition, print materials can easily be shared with others and offer an enduring message that can be seen again and again.

By joining your print and digital marketing efforts, you can create a powerful campaign that gets noticed and remembered. For example, your print marketing can direct traffic to your website, and your emails can remind customers to keep an eye out for a catalog or exclusive coupon in their mailbox. You can also use campaign hashtags on print to funnel traffic to social media.

If you’d like ideas or help to create the perfect print campaign to complement your digital efforts, our team would love to help! Stop by or give us a call today.

While custom printed gift tags are most popular during the holiday season, they are a great addition for any occasion.

Gift tags can be a great way to offer a heartfelt thank you message or other greetings for special occasions, such as corporate anniversaries, birthdays, open houses, and other celebrations.

Gift tags can be designed as a hang tag that can be attached via ribbon or string, or a label that can be applied on your gift or card. Gift tags can be customized in any shape (including die-cut shapes) and colors, and can also feature unique finishes, such as an embossed logo or raised UV spot print.

If your organization would like help creating the perfect gift tag for an upcoming special occasion or event, give us a call today. And remember, other printers may be nearby, but nobody comes close!

While we hope you look to us for all your professional printing needs, here are a few helpful tips to save money on your daily print jobs:

• Choose your fonts wisely. According to data from Printer.com, different fonts use different amounts of ink to print. Here’s a tip: Century Gothic delivered a 31 percent savings in your inkjet and toner cartridge printing costs over Arial.


• Print your documents in grayscale (black and white) to ensure your document is printed using the black cartridge only and not your color cartridges. Your document will print faster with nearly half the ink.


• Always use print preview to save time and avoid annoying reprints. If you have issues with line breaks, page breaks, placement of graphics, etc., convert your document to a PDF file and print from Acrobat.


• Change your default resolution setting. Most high-quality printers default to 600DPI or higher, which can waste a lot of ink. Lower your settings to save on ink and printing speed.


• When you get a low toner alert, remove it and shake it over a garbage can to loosen up the powder and extend the life of your cartridge.


• Beware of buying cheap bargain paper, which is often not cut evenly, and can cause printer jams and has a lot of dust which can build up and create issues with your printer.


• Never let a printer (or ink cartridge) sit in a hot or cold car all day. If you must transport them long distances, take your ink cartridges out and store them in a sealed bag.


• Clean and dust your printer often and keep out of direct sunlight. Also keep them away from heat sources like a furnace or radiator. You may also consider using a humidifier in the room with the printer if your home or office has low humidity.

If you let us help with your important printing projects, we’ll guarantee quality that is sure to make your office printer jealous.
