Your company:
All-American Printing Services
What Makes You Unique:
In my family I am the fourth generation woman in printing. My great grandmother started a small business folding grocery store flyers in down town San Francisco. My grandmother grew that small business into a multi-million dollar printing company. Forty years later my own mother took over. The women in my family managed that company for over 67 years. You can say I was born with printing experience.

I believe my biggest challenge is to turn print buyers into environmentally friendly buyers who make purchasing choices that will help to protect our enviroment.

Printed materials are still important!

Printed materials still important was the headline that caught my eye in the
Small Business Strategies column by Rhonda Abrams; the Marin IJ Aug 1 2008.

If you didn’t get a chance to see Ms. Abrams column on the importance of printed material in your marketing plan here is what she had to say.

She pointed out that printed materials are an important part of your marketing efforts because they
>are tangible
>are long-lasting
>create a positive impression, if done well

I've uploaded my files, now what?

On line printing – no service in that name!

You have checked all the boxes with what you hope are the appropriate selections, you have entered your credit card for immediate billing (if not faster), you have uploaded your files for printing...NOW WHAT!

You are wondering why you have that uneasy feeling… “What have I done?” you murmur. “Who is going to help me?” After a quick and thoughtful moment you say “I’ll just hit the back page button, there has got to be a phone number for me to call!” Y… Continue

Hi Lauri,
The catalog is done and is on my website for anyone interested to download. It is too expensive for me to go to print unfortunately. Just another downside to being a small business, but at least I am green!

Lauri, just an update....catalog is almost done. I need to go through it today and approve the copy. I want to implement a program for my reps to get catalogs. Do you have special programs in place for companies that have sales reps?

Thank you Lauri Dear. I think of you with much affection! Sasha

Great meeting you at the Foundation Fundraiser. I have a question: BizTechDay is this Saturday and my friend Hazel Grace needs her "Saving Face on Facebook" handbook printed. Can you turn it around that quick? Email me at adryenn@wowisme.net if you can!

You're awesome! Thank you. My sister's name is Janet in case I neglected to mention that before. Janet Fazio....she also has her own start-up ad agency which I believe is one of your strategic partners :)

Hi Lauri: I was terribly swamped today. Should I have my sister call you? she is the one that is handling my catalog. it is 16 pages, full color. I didn't want to print out hundreds of them. I was hoping to do 100 or so of them to get an idea of how receptive everyone will be towards the catalog

Hi Lauri, I'll send you my specs. Thanks!
