Screen Printing and Pinterest

The question is: why should screen and graphic printers participate in Pinterest Logo ?

Simple put…because Pinterest is a gold mine of ideas, a prime place to display your creative genius, another avenue in which to engage and exchange with others in the screen and graphics printing worlds, to maybe even sell some of your t-shirts, hats, hoodies, pillows, invitations and more to new clients you’ve gained as a result of your involvement (pillow screen printed by Emily Chushman, Living Room Board via Pinterest).

art by Carisa Lee via PinterestTo join, however, you must first be invited. Once you’ve been invited per email, its NBD to begin.Just follow the prompts and read everything to ensure frustration-free Board creations. Site creation begins with a series of Boards that showcase your company’s screen printing work and/or, for example, community events you’re involved in, travel, art,  adventures, fashion, fair trade clothing, architecture. From your boards, you can view all types of sites and “repin” other photos from Pinterest that pique your interest to your boards. Slowly, your repertoire will be constructed and your step into this new world of liking/repinning will evolve into fresh e-social circles. It’s motivating, too.

Uno Estudio is a great example of how this company is using Pinterest. The company has a board that displays grafica (that gives credit to the artists  – # 1 in etiquette). It also has one titled Screen Print complete with a video, a small screen printing project and more. RhinoTech recently had its RhinoBond Crystal, an adhesive catering to craftsters, jewelery-makers and hobbyists, repinned from its Jewelery Board to another jewelery designers board. And the 300 people following her will now have the opportunity to read about this product and …. on it goes from there.

This excerpt from a New York Times article, Drilling Down: What Small Businesses Should Know about Pinterest, helps answer the initial question:

Q: How do you determine if Pinterest may be right for your business?

A: Can you answer yes to these questions: One, do you have, or can you create, interesting and sharable content on your Web site? Two, do you have products to sell that can be presented visually? Three, are you willing to devote the time that it takes to market on Pinterest? Businesses are lured into social media marketing because it’s free. But the primary investment in social media marketing is time, not money. If you are not willing to devote the time to Pinterest, or any other social media, it’s not right for your business. It must be a scheduled business activity, just like opening the doors or doing payroll.

Be bold and may you reap intense exposure.

Work Less, Make More Money – Seriously?

vkhOiPc-yvA

Been working so hard …   Been punching my card…  Eight hours, for what… Oh, tell me what I got…    I’ve done this feeling…  That times just holding me down…I’ll hit the ceiling… Or else I’ll tear up this town… Now I gotta cut loose…..

When I saw the flyer stuck in my car door that screamed “Work Less, Make More Money” all I could think of was –  SERIOUSLY?

I often wish it were true. But…I know that’s not the case and besides, I like my job, I like the screen and graphics printing industry, I like going to trade shows, especially when I get to talk to the “artists” in attendance. A standout was the tall, extremely tattooed guy from Hawaii who had the most strikingly beautiful, vibrant peony tattooed on his hand and a tribal tattoo on his throat (he said that those two hurt the most, but were worth it).  I get such a kick out of talking to the youngest, just- starting- out- printers and students who are unable to hide their enthusiasm and are adorned with their creations that sometimes just stop me in my tracks due to the language or graphic nature of the t-shirt design. And I love the 60’s husband/wife teams (with the really long gray braids down their backs) who have been printing for all these years and remain interested and excited by industry advancements.

But work less and make more money? Seriously? Too much juggling of marketing, social marketing, sales calls, designing equipment, developing new products, keeping employees happy, traveling to trade shows, creating ads, taking orders, building equipment, orchestrating partnerships, AR/AP, answering customer questions juxtaposed with meeting production schedules and keeping customers happy. The youngest printers are entering an incredibly changing industry and will have to work long hours, do all of the aforementioned in combination with upping their business-savvy to have an enduring platform for their creations. As a result, they will have possible opportunities for fame, an appearance on Shark Tank and prosperity while fulfilling the needs of businesses who will always need screen and graphics printing projects.

As it has been through the ages, it will be through sheer determination, ingenuity and working long hours that will enable printers to “make more money” and, hello retirement, to eventually work less. And those enticing flyers? There is a prominent place in reserve for them. It’s called the round file. Have a great week!

Industry News: RhinoTech Helps Raise Money to Eradicate, Wipe Out and, Yes, Eliminate Type 1, Insulin Dependent Diabetes

For RhinoTech, the race to cure Type 1, insulin-dependent diabetes is  more than just a great cause to support. It’s personal. So…to help spur efforts that will eventually enable researchers to find a cure, RhinoTech sponsors Team Michael in the annual Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, Walk for the Cure. Held on April 14, 2012 in Sarasota, Florida, the team walked in solidarity with thousands of other walkers/fund raisers from two counties in Florida and from around the world (it’s high-season in Florida w/vacationers and students on spring break).  On behalf of children and young adults living with Type 1 Diabetes and who must take insulin several times a day in order to stay alive, the  money collected  will go toward life-saving research leading to the eventual cure.

Less is More when it comes to Creating a Killer Slogan.

This is a tad of a follow-up to an earlier blog – Engage, Engage, Engage that was all about what I learned in a social media workshop. My research/reading/thinking about that has led to even more research on building business SLOGANS (tag lines) and BRANDING that goes hand-in-hand with everything that we all do to promote our businesses and our customer’s businesses or events.

So, what is the big deal about creating a business slogan for your own company or one of your clients? The big deal is that a mind-blowing slogan is what we want and need that will  burn into the conscious and subconscious thoughts of all potential consumers of our and our clients products. What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas!

Having worked through helping both non-profit and for-profit business over the years build their descriptive slogans in 20 words or less (that is way more difficult than writing 200), I can attest to the massive energy, time and money that is involved in getting a slogan “just right”.

A SLOGAN has to be pretty dead-on if you are interested in creating an effective marketing tool that complements all other advertising/marketing tools utilized. It has to be short, concise and capture the audience within seconds. And maintain a balance between remaining fresh and applicable without causing major confusion. And, says Jasmine Tanasy, director of naming and writing at the New York office of Landor that has worked with Tide and Frito-Lay, “What will this (slogan/tag line) mean to others?’ The tagline is not for you. It’s a way to make a connection.” She also remarked NOT to include the words: innovation, global, insights, power. I so get that.

Here are a few paragraphs from an article that Henry Bernstein wrote about the subject that was published in Printwear Magazine, January. I hope it will help jump-start your creative thought process: “…..think of the brand recognition of “sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don’t,” or “got milk,” “bet you can’t eat just one” and, of course, “it’s Miller time.” The food and beverage industry has a way of getting it just right. Motivation is another perfect place for a good slogan, though, with calls to action that get our attention the way Nike did with their “Just Do It” campaign.

Imagine creating such a slogan with clients… and providing them with the apparel that helps their business gain traction. Besides corporations and sporting teams, there are groups, clubs, organizations and even exercise classes, as in this example. They all love to show their affiliation and are especially proud to wear it. In the case of this example, a trainer/instructor had a motivating slogan that was not only a great driving force, but a perfect marketing tool for her business.

The inspiration was “The burn… find it, feel it, own it!” The creator of this saying, Christine Hales, is a certified personal trainer and group instructor, whose body sculpting class I take at 5:30 a.m. At that hour and given the grueling exercises, class attendees need to hear something to get us through it. Trainers learn quickly to belt out something in order to push their subjects for one more or to hold it five seconds longer. That’s when I heard “Feel it! Own it!” And I got through it (even though I still cried). Her ringing phrase became mine. Kind of funny how that happens.

Taking the phrase and applying it to a visual wasn’t too difficult. We’re looking to illustrate the “burn” associated to weightlifting, something the clipart already embodied through the dumbbell and weightlifter. So the next step was simply to wrap the art with the slogan in a font that would evoke some emotion.”   

And here they are; those burned in our brains tag-lines of all time: Snap! Crackle! Pop!” (Kellogg’s Rice Frispies) “Finger lickin’ good.” (KFC)  “Betcha can’t eat just one.” (Lay’s) “I’m lovin’ it.” (McDonald’s) “I love New York.” (New York) Where’s the beef?” (Wendy’s) “Breakfast of champions.” (Wheaties)

Always appreciate your comments. Thanks for reading/subscribing.

If Every Business Hired Just One More Person…..

This is a tad of a gift. It’s grant application (that was successfully awarded by a small, private foundation) for you to have to use and adapt to reflect your ideas/community needs and help eliminate employment issues for  your company and people with disabilities or others who are unemployed. The basis of the grant is to build a screen printing training/internship program and small, non-profit business venture in conjunction with a non-profit organization. Together, the partnering organizations will: 1) meet market needs for qualified, trained employees for the screen and graphics printing industry; 2) offer state-of-the-art, hands on training leading to bona fide jobs for people with all types of disabilities including those injured while serving in the military or due to an accident, a disease or condition sustained at birth; 3) help give back by helping people in your community who want to work to gain skills and attributes to enable them to find great jobs in our industry; 4) increase consumerism and self-sufficiency.

So…here is a way for screen printers and non-profit organizations to mutually benefit their organizations and resolve hiring/training and employment issues along the way. Really, it can be a win-win situation for everyone, including socially. And it does work.

You probably know this, but be sure to do some market research, ensuring that the screen printing competition in your geographic area, if you decide to go forward with a partnership, will not be a roadblock to your success. Make sure that you have everyone and everything in place: instructors, space, equipment, students, business plan, OSHA….then write/submit the grant to fit your business’s specific needs; the requirements of the funding agency. If you have to, hire a professional grant writer. It’s worth the time and every cent!

So…here is the grant. All names have been changed and are fictitious (except the state of Arizona) for the purposes of this grant model.

Thanks for reading, sharing, commenting, questioning. And Good Luck if you choose to use this sample grant and idea in some form.

Engage, Engage, Engage….

We’re fresh from a Social Media program and the only word that comes to mind is WOW. The presenter believes that this era of social media marketing will be over in 5 years. What?  I’m feeling like I just  finally “got it” (sort of) even with three blogs, three facebook pages, two twitter accounts, one youtube channel and assorted other marketing venues. What will take place in the predicted 5 years is out of my current realm of thinking. I can only hope that I’ll figure it out with this 50+ brain power combined with lots of tutorial by the younger generation of techno gurus (that really means begging children to help me).

So…this is my brief take on what I learned that I want to share with others in the screen printing and graphics printing worlds:

  • Take your Brand Equity and hurry up; work it and convert it within every avenue of social media. Engage everyone in all sorts of topics other than what you’re trying to sell.  Brand Equity is a brand’s power derived from the goodwill and name recognition that it has earned over time that translates into higher sales volume and higher profit margins against competing brands. Please tell me that I won’t have to work 15 hour days to accomplish this?!
  • Get real! An emotional, feel-good attachment to the way you are NOT working with social media is a good way to go out of business. I straightened up on that one. It means get on Twitter, Facebook, Foursquare, Linkedin, youtube, Tumblr and just get going. Like baby steps, the first few are the toughest.
  • You’d better learn how to text. I raised my hand high when the presenter asked, “how many of you said to your kids that you would never text w/them, that only phone calls between you would be the course of communication”? And then he asked by a show of hands, “how many of you pretty much communicate via texting with your kids today?” I stood up to raise my hand the highest. Oh, how the mighty fall with lots of humility.
  • You’d better thank your customers right away. Enough said.
  • Engage, engage, engage not push, push, push. Offer free samples, ask for feedback, laugh, discuss, engage some more, laugh, discuss and, only then, ask for the order.
  • Transition your customers to friends. This happens when you engage, engage, engage.

So…I  invite you to engage and thank you for taking the time to read this and connnect @: facebook.com/rhinotech; twitter.com/rhinomitemn; rhinoblast.blogspot.com; youtube.com/rhinotechcompany.

Let’s get out there and build some brand equity!

Ghosts Be Gone with Environmentally-Sensitive Haze/Stain Remover from RhinoTech

The Newest How-To Video: Rid Screen Frames of Ghost Images for Good using a Soy-Based Haze Remover

Remove ghost images for good with routine use of HRG² 2400 Haze Remover that is an environmentally-responsible product and part of the RhinoClean Green² chemical line. Both graphic and textile screen printers’ use this specially formulated liquid product to remove imbedded U.V., conventional and plastisol inks that remain on the screen following emulsion removal. HRG² 2400 effectively lifts the haze and imbedded ink from the mesh then emulsifies and dissolves the ink resins, binders, pigments, plasticizers, etc. The solution suspends resins, so reattachment to the mesh surface is prohibited allowing for simple water-rinse removal. HRG² 2400 is also an excellent degreaser. And the best part is that it is biodegradable, conforming to standards and our industry’s need to be responsible stewards of our mother earth.

A most complimentary shout-out goes to our video-producing partner, Jonathan Monaco who is Catspit Productions.
