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 really felt quite right.
I’ve always wanted someone to collaborate with when it comes to business. I met my business partner at a small business advocacy group. We both hit it off and learned that we shared much of the same business philosophy. When he came to me months 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 and t-shirt printing. Initially, it was tough going. We tried to make do with older printing equipment and laminator. But it was clear that we would need a new printer if we were to achiever our goals. So we invested in a tagless t-shirt digital printer. This was the beginning of things turning around. Instead of beating the bushes to find business, order were now coming in. And so many of the orders to our printing service were return customers. That’s when we really knew that we were on to something. Now we are taking another leap. We have invested in an Arrow systems commercial printer. This new tool allows us all sorts of versatility without a great 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 bigger markets.
