THE PRINT SHOP.

ANYONE WORKING IN PRODUCT-BASED COMPANIES OR SERVICE INDUSTRIES, KNOW HOW IMPORTANT MARKETING IS TO THEIR SUCCESS.

WHETHER IT BE THROUGH DIGITAL PLATFORMS OR THE OLD SCHOOL PRINT ADS, COMPANIES IN THE UNITED STATES SPEND AN AVERAGE OF TWELVE PERCENT OF THEIR REVENUE ON MARKETING COSTS.

SPEED PRO OF CENTRAL NEW YORK IS WORKING TO HELP MEET ORGANIZATIONS' MARKETING NEEDS, WITH THEIR LARGE-SCALE PRINTING TECHNOLOGY.

OFFERING CLIENTS A VARIETY OF PRINTED ADVERTISING FROM WALL MURALS AND BANNERS TO OUTDOOR SIGNAGE AND VEHICLE WRAPS.

SINCE OPENING ITS CENTRAL NEW YORK LOCATION FIVE YEARS AGO, SPEED PRO HAS SEEN CONTINUAL GROWTH IN ITS SALES AND WORKFORCE.

ALLOWING THE COMPANY TO EXPAND ITS OPERATIONS AND TAKE ON LARGER PROJECTS.

>> SPEEDPRO MEJING IS A FRANCHISE BUSINESS.

140 LOCATIONS NATIONWIDE WE DO LARGE FORMAT PRINTING.

SO THAT INCLUDES THINGS LIKE POSTERS AND VEHICLE WRAPS.

WE ALSO DO WALL MURALS, POINT OF PURCHASE DISPLAYS, BANNERS AND ANYTHING WE CAN PRINT ON OUR LARGE FORMAT PRINTERS.

THAT'S HOW WE PLAN ON GETTING TO $10 MILLION IS BY JUST BRINGING UP OTHER SPEEDPRO TERRITORIES.

WE ALSO WILL HAVE LOCAL FACILITIES IN EACH OF THOSE TERRITORIES SO THAT WE CAN SUPPORT BETTER SUPPORT LIKE VEHICLE WRAPS.
