Managers Share Money-Savers & Money-Makers
 
Money Saving IdeasSignage and mailing discounts were among the new avenues generating the greatest return in the past 12 months. 
 
Most successful new ventures:
  • Adding parking signs and vinyl cutter to the line-up of services has added about $35,000 to one shop's annual revenue.
  • Wide-format printing of posters, banners and signs has increased over 100% YTD year for yet another in-plant.
  • Huge postal discounts are being enjoyed by one Mail Center simply by having the Bound Printed Matter indicia printed on books so they can be mailed at $1.46 rather than $5 each.
     
     
  • Skupien Wins IPMA's Ad Design Contest
     
    StephanieFour ads designed by Stephanie Skupien, graphic designer with the City of Boise, have been chosen as the winners in IPMA's "Design Our Ad" Contest. These ads will be featured in journals throughout the year. The first ad will appear in the September issue of In-Plant Graphics. Skupien 
    believes do-it-yourself desktop programs can't replace the eye of a professional designer. "We can provide design more efficiently and troubleshoot any problems that arise."
