Meeting Notes from April 6th, 2010

ANTS Business

ProBest is looking for a trailer for a special project.

We should each mention who a good lead for us is during our 60-seconds.

Featured Speaker

Ken Britt with the Complete Print Shop

Q: Who revolutionized printing back in the 1400′s?
A: Johannes Gutenberg

Fast forward to now – you could buy MS Publisher and design your own flier and print it off yourself.  This flier may look good on your computer (which is 72 dpi) but when it the print comes out fuzzy you’ll realize that you could have better spent your money having a designer create it correctly for you.  This is what separates the mom and pop setups from the professionals.

Thoroughly review your proofs – we all make mistakes.  I have a calendar which is missing the 8th day of the month.

We all get junk mail because it works!
