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.”

Marketing with Posters and Flyers
September 8, 2009, 3:58 pm
Filed under: News

There are many forms of printed advertising available that can be applied to any advertising need: posters, flyers, brochures, catalogs, postcards, door hangers, direct mail, etc.  But there is usually one significant factor that determines the direction of most printed advertising campaigns – namely budget constraints. For events or general awareness advertising, posters and flyers – especially paired together – can help you create a long-lasting, memorable campaign on even a small budget.

Poster Details
Poster printing can be used to advertise any business, organization, or event. Poster printing is perfect for advertisements or announcements that will be valid for a long period of time because they are usually securely mounted on a surface. They are also easy to switch out when it’s time to update your message without a lot of out-of-pocket expense. Posters are excellent for advertising a new business that is “opening soon” as well as an established business that wants to broaden its customer base. Poster campaigns are a smart way to get a message to a large group of people. All your audience has to do is pass by your poster locations. Poster advertising is an excellent choice when you want to keep your company in view of your target audience. 

Flyer Details
Flyers are a quick and easy-to-use form of print advertising that can be customized for absolutely anything. Smaller than posters, their size lends them to a greater variety of distribution methods: left in stacks for anyone to take, handed out personally to passersby, direct mailed, and even hung or posted. Flyers can be used in conjunction with poster printing campaigns. For example, when your business opens, print up “now open” flyers and slap them over your “opening soon” posters. You still have the large space of the poster and the advance notice, but now with very little trouble you have changed the message of the poster with the simple addition of a flyer. Flyers can also be handed out with messages that reinforce your poster campaign’s message. And of course flyers can be used by themselves – and often are –  for events like band concerts, garage sales, school events, church events, etc.
 
Use posters:
• As a hanging display to reach a large audience on the move
• When you need long term advertising
• To get attention of the general public
 
Use flyers:
• As a hand out, mobile advertising
• For short term advertising, right before the event
• As the final campaign before the event, to reinforce poster advertising
 
Pairing posters with flyers can create a long-lasting and memorable marketing campaign that can work with even the smallest budget!
