It has long been a dream of mine to find the right person to partner with in self employment.
The idea of going it alone has never entirely felt quite right.
I’ve constantly wanted someone to collaborate with when it comes to business. I met our supplier partner at a small supplier advocacy group. We both hit it off as well as l gained that we shared much of the same supplier philosophy. When he came to me weeks later about taking over a printing service company, I was all in. My partner had a connection that allowed us to buy a printing service that had focuses on graphic design as well as t-shirt printing. Initially, it was strenuous going. We tried to make do with older printing equipment as well as laminator. But it was clear that we would need a current printer if we were to achiever our goals. So we invested in a tagless t-shirt digital printer. This was the start of things turning around. Instead of beating the bushes to find business, order were now coming in. And so several of the orders to our printing service were return clients. That’s when we entirely knew that we were on to something. Now we are taking another leap. We have invested in an Arrow systems commercial printer. This current tool allows us all sorts of versatility without a good deal of set up costs or messy ink systems. It is exciting to see how we are now growing beyond just our regional market. With the investment in Arrow systems, we are able to compete in much larger markets.
