Our new web site is LIVE!

If you saw the old site you will realize why we are so excited.

We think you will be able to see at a glance the scope of what GPS can do for you, and every click will help you in your search for the best solutions.

 

As we've said before, one of the things we do best is search out, test, and recommend the best innovations for the issues that you deal with on a daily basis. Notice throughout our site the recommendations - and know that we found them worthy of sharing with you.

 

One of the easiest ways to get a feel for the quality of work is to browse the Spotlight area. You'll get to know our clients, learn about our partners, and find galleries of our graphic work. Seeing is believing!

And yes, we have more ideas for the site; additional information to add to areas, more explanations of how we do what we do. So keep an eye on us. Visit often!

We love our PRINT division and think you will, too!

For all the technology in our world, we are still surrounded by and dependent on print. A business may have a web site, or do much of it's business by phone, but print items remain a necessary part of marketing.

Business Cards: The expected exchange when meeting new people, the hard copy that stays with your client to remind them of who you are and what you do.

Promotional Materials: It's true that the tri-fold brochure has given way to more eye-catching and useful designs, yet annual reports, marketing and sales materials, and direct mailings require quality printing. We also love to work with you to design these pieces!

Budgets: In this economy need may not be the deciding factor - funds may dictate our choices.  Our printing arm, WeWantYourPrinting.com becomes a valuable tool.

Sometimes it's difficult to try new things, so we offer you an extra incentive with the discount coupon below. Test our quality, price and service on a business card. We think you'll find you like working with us!

Print is Sustainable

  • For every tree harvested in the US, three trees are planted.
  • 4 million trees are planted daily in the US, 1.7 million of that by the wood and paper industries. Source: USDA Forest Service & SFI - Worldwide roughly 600 million trees are planted by the paper and forest industry annually.
