I have lived in a small town my whole life.
Granted, I live in a different small town than I grew up in, but small towns are where I feel most comfortable and at-home.
One thing that’s always true, no matter which small town you go to, is that there’s always a local printing service that gets all of the local high school’s/high schools’ business. When I moved here, I was shocked to find that this small town had no such printing service. With my degree in graphic design, I saw a real opportunity to make money from the printing service business. I got a small business loan and opened my printing service two years ago. I offer all sorts of products: decorative printing solutions, printing services for wedding invitations, laminating, tagless t-shirt printing (probably my biggest seller), you name it! If you want it printed, I’ll get it done for you. As I mentioned before, tagless t-shirt printing is probably my largest source of income. It’s one of the few industries left where online ordering doesn’t have us beat. The thing about tagless t-shirt printing- especially tagless t-shirt printing for high schoolers- is that people have a certain image in mind that they want printed on that t-shirt. If you can’t make the exact specifications online, it feels like a waste of money. I work hand in hand with the students and even teach them how to use the tagless t-shirt printer. I’m proud to be this town’s trusted printing service. If you’re in the area, I hope you’ll stop by.
