The Venturer

Greetings!


Thanksgiving is just ahead and all of us at Product Ventures have been reflecting on our growing business this past year, knowing that we have much to be thankful for this holiday season.  Many of you have been able to visit us in our expanded design studio and research facility, experiencing firsthand the additional value that our comprehensive services can bring to your business. 

Wendy Church, Creative Director of Strategic Branding,  and her graphics team have been busy working on the package design for Rain, a new-to-the-world skin care hydrating product; Drive, an innovative sports drink package; and Absinthe, the powerful spirit which has seen an enormous resurgence in popularity in recent years.  Also, we will be sharing with you in 2011 the exciting graphics work we are doing with Home of the Brave,  a company founded by Glen Tomlinson in 1991 to provide tours for veterans visiting the historical US military sites of Hawaii, including Pearl Harbor, USS Arizona Memorial, Wheeler Army Airfield, Schofield Army Barracks, Fort Shafter, and Punchbowl National Memorial. As a former US Marine, I immediately connected with the passion and vision of this patriotic entrepreneur.

I encourage you to visit our website and see our growing team, or even better, if you are in the area for the holidays, please come by and let's talk in person. Our last two years have been our most successful ones yet, and we thank each of our clients for giving us much to be thankful for this holiday season.

Happy Holidays!

Best regards,
Peter

The Recycling Conundrum

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

 



But what if you can't get enough recycled material to continue to manufacture your product?

In the hierarchy of environmental consciousness, reducing the amount of material that a company uses to produce its products and its packaging is the simplest and most cost-effective way to lessen the impact of a company's business on the environment. Alternatively, developing ways for a company's product or packaging to be reused can also have a positive influence on a company's environmental footprint. Read More
