On August 24, 2010, PrintPlace.com was named to the prestigious Inc. 500 list of the fastest growing companies in America.
The 2010 Inc. 500 is a group of companies that are smaller but much faster-growing than last year’s crop. Aggregate revenue is $11.3 billion—down from last year’s $18.4 billion—but median three-year growth is 1,231 percent, substantially up from last year’s 880.5 percent. The companies on this year’s list employ more than 45,000 people.
“Fast growth at any time is a big achievement; fast growth during the past few years is just short of miraculous,” said Inc. editor Jane Berentson. “The Inc. 500 consists of these just-short-of miraculous companies, the ones that through ingenuity and ambition have increased revenue, hired employees, and grown fast in difficult economic times.”
This year, PrintPlace.com placed in the top 100 of the list at #54, a dramatic increase from last year’s debut on the list at #979, and posted a three-year sales growth of 4,168%.
PrintPlace.com Founder & CEO Shawn Petersen commented on the award: “I am honored to be ranked among the other entrepreneurs on this year’s list and am especially proud to be the only commercial printer to rank among the top 500. I attribute our phenomenal growth over the past three years to our employees and loyal customers. PrintPlace.com employs a dedicated and conscientious team who work hard to ensure our clients receive the best possible quality and customer service. Because of this, we are able to offer quality, price and satisfaction guarantees unique in our industry, which is appreciated by our customers. Without this partnership, our success would not be possible.”

Get Your Fundraiser Up and Going!
Don’t know where to start? Here are just a few tips on getting your fundraiser up and going.
1. Start by setting your goals.
- Set the goal amount that you want to raise. Be sure to include an estimate for unplanned expenses.
- Set the launch date and end date.
- There are several product options for your fundraising project. Choose a product that best fits your budget and will give you the best return for your investment.
- Be realistic and keep your end goals in mind when choosing ways to promote your product. Make sure your promotional methods fit your budget.
- If you have done a fundraiser before, did you reach your goal? Whether you raised enough funds or fell short of your goals, examine your past efforts and repeat or adjust this year’s plans.
2. Find Your Target Audience
What is appropriate for one organization may not be the same for another. Finding a common theme between what you are selling and the target audience is a must for your fundraiser success.
3. When is the timing right?
Timing is everything when you are trying to raise essential funds, but the good news is that when it comes to fundraising there is always something to sell during all seasons of the year!
4. Publicize Your Fundraiser!
- You have everything ready to go, but how are you going to announce this fundraiser? We know word of mouth is powerful, but give your fundraiser that extra boost with posters and flyers.
- Place the posters or flyers all over the school, community establishments or have family and friends pass them out at work. Get the word out early and make the announcement a week before the fundraiser launches.
*Don’t forget to add a short and simple message about your cause to your posters and flyers to let people know what you are fundraising for.
