Direct to Garment Printing is the most cost effective way to get a design with a wide variety of different colors printed onto fabric.  With screen printing, there’s a screen charge for each color in the design, plus additional run charges, so designs with more than a few colors can get very complex and  expensive.  With Direct to Garment (or DTG) the design is created using a 4 color process, printed all at once- very similar to the way inkjet printers print on paper.  Instead of being limited to solid flat colors, designs can include photo realistic graphics!  Another advantage to DTG printing is that the ink doesn’t add a lot of texture on top of the fabric, so the clothing stays just as soft and smooth as if it were unprinted.  DTG is most affordable and effective on white 100% cotton fabric, but with pre-treatment and a white ink underlay, it can be done on colored or black fabric as well!  Check out some of these designs below and let us know if you have any cool apparel ideas you’d like to see come to life.  We can’t wait to see what you create!

We printed these beautiful coasters for the Fairmont, which feature their logo with a special cocktail recipe on the back.  This is a great example of adding  functionality to an already useful item, increasing the value of the item and the likelihood that it will be saved as a keepsake!  These coasters now serve as a home for each guest’s beverage, surface protector, advertising for the business, and recipe card all in one.  Gotta love that!  We print small quantity coaster orders in house, so turnaround time is only 2-3 business days.  Larger orders are available with about 2 weeks notice, and with significant quantity discounts.  Contact us about custom coasters for your event today!

How to Photograph your Event and Maintain the Guest Experience

Source

Capturing your live event is essential in documenting your companies efforts in designing and producing the event, not only to showcase your business, but to inspire your staff and thank your clients as well.

But capturing your event with photography or video should not come at the expense of the guest experience, after all, the live event itself is for their enjoyment.

You may have witnessed at many events, photographers/videographers standing in the sight lines of guests for the duration of the event, or placing tripods and camera mounts in guest traffic areas, forcing the guest to move around them.

First and foremost, the performance or invited speaker is for the enjoyment of your guests, and yes, capturing spectacular images of a possible once in a lifetime engagement is important and desired, but that can be accomplished with a little bit of pre-planning.

Always communicate the specifics of your event. Whether you have a single performance, multiple production numbers, speakers, or atmosphere talent. Ask your photographer or videographer not to linger in one area for any length of time. Ask them to refrain from standing in front of seated guests and if a choice needs to be made between the guest having a great experience or “getting the shot”- well, the guest is whom the event was created.

When you communicate the specifics of your live event, the professionals you partner with can work with your concerns and objectives, and still deliver outstanding and spectacular imagery and video while maintaining a positive experience for your invited guests.

7 Reasons Fridge Magnets Are Powerful Marketing Tools

Do you print refrigerator magnets to market your products or services? If not, you might be missing on a golden opportunity to boost sales and motivate repeat business. The following details seven reasons why fridge magnets are powerful marketing tools.

1. Fridge magnets are useful to customers

Fridge magnets have value to customers; they’re useful for attaching important documents, pictures, reminders, and kids’ artwork to refrigerators, the modern-day showcase gallery. Nearly everyone uses fridge magnets, so giving them to customers and prospects is a great way to get your company’s name in hundreds or even thousands of households.

You can also add value to fridge magnets by including relevant information: local emergency numbers, a popular sports team’s schedule, or handy kitchen tips. When you add value to fridge magnets, you increase their usefulness and therefore the chances your audience will use them every day.

2. Fridge magnets have outstanding value

Most marketing tools have limited shelf-lives; some, like direct-mail postcards, are meant to be viewed only once. Fridge magnets, on the other hand, last years (even decades) and can rack up hundreds of thousands or even millions of views – all for a single one-time investment. They’re not only cost-effective to print, they’re among the cheapest marketing tools per-view you can print.

3. Fridge magnets brand via repetition

Your audience sees your fridge magnets, whether directly or sub-consciously, every single time they go to the fridge for a glass of milk, the bottle of ketchup, or anything else. That repetition and constant brand reinforcement is priceless. Your magnets might not generate an immediate flood of sales, but they practically guarantee you’ll be the first company that comes to mind when your audience needs what you sell.

4. Fridge magnets offer excellent targeting

You don’t want to waste precious dollars trying to reach the wrong people; fortunately, fridge magnets offer exceptional targeting so you can reach a highly-relevant audience comprised of people likely to buy what you sell. Well-targeted mailing lists, direct-customer handouts, and event giveaways provide perfect opportunities to put your magnets in the right hands – and on the right refrigerators.

A carpet cleaning service, for example, might want to reach new homeowners. The company could rent a mailing list comprised only of people who have purchased a home in the past 30 days and send magnets detailing a special discount. When the homeowners need carpet cleaning, they’ll not only have the company brand recognition, they’ll have an incentive to call.

5. Fridge magnets are super easy to distribute

Because they’re useful, and because targeting the right audience is relatively simple, fridge magnets are very easy to distribute. You can hand them out directly to customers, pack them in every shipment, send them to a targeted audience via direct-mail, pass them out at trade shows and other events, and place them as point-of-sale displays (think “Free – take one”) throughout your community.

6. Fridge magnets are simple, easy, time-tested references

Customers like efficiency, and they’ll take the shortest path to get what they want. Fridge magnets bridge the gap between customer desire and your company by serving as simple, easy, time-tested references. Instead of searching their phones or looking online, customers will check their refrigerators for your phone number, website URL, or physical address.

7. Fridge magnets make it easy to stand out with customization

Custom fridge magnet printing lets you take advantage of premium magnet materials, attention-getting die-cut shapes, and compelling design to make your brand stand out.  Work with one of our talented and experienced designers to create a custom magnet for your business today!
