Our committee worked for over a year planning the big fundraiser to help out our local homeless shelter.
- Advertising dollars were narrow so when all of us contacted a print shop to do the flyers, posters, and signs, all of us were honestly careful to get the most for our money.
One of the committee members found an online corporation that would do all of it for less than 2 thirds of the big box office store in our area. A few of us were concerned about using a corporation so far away but all of us ended up using them anyway. The concern came when there was a change of venue at the last minute and all of us were stuck trying to find a way to inform all the people who was attending. The two of us had no time to print a current flyer from the online corporation so all of us needed to find a satisfactory print shop close by. The two of us started searching the local corporation listings and found a small shop that gave overnight printing at budget friendly prices. It wasn’t legitimately advertised anywhere other than the listing but all of us decided to give them a call. As it turned out, the corporation put its money into quality device instead of flashy advertising. They had the latest technology in printers that used UV printing. This form of printing ensures that they copies are full color when needed, weather resistant, and dry before they emerge from the machine! Many print shops are using this now because it is also safe for the people operating the machines. The solvent based printing units still give you the same quality, however, print shops must have powerful ventilation and air cleaners to ensure the health of their employees. The two of us all agree that our future event will use the services of this local corporation because they legitimately saved us this time.
