Construction Signage Testimonials

“It used to be that you put up a yard sign and construction trailer and augmented that with other forms of marketing,” says Christa McCall, graphic designer for The Lawrence Group, an architectural, design and development firm headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri. “Now, it is almost the reverse. You install wallscapes, building wraps, banners, fencescapes and window graphics and augment those with a yard sign and construction trailer.

Building wraps are a huge driving force in marketing a construction or development project. They enable you to use the building as a billboard for the duration of the construction project right on through the leasing phase. They capture the public’s attention and drive traffic to your website.”

 

“Outsized building wraps and banners are an essential part of the advertising campaign. Fifty percent of customer response comes from a loft or condo development’s signage. It’s what they remember when they are surveyed as to how they heard about the project,” states Gretchen Floresca, Principal of Werremeyer|Floresca, a St. Louis-based creative firm.

Custom Wallpaper Testimonials

“They were able to guide us through the process, coaching the graphics group on how to translate their carpet patterns into custom wallpaper. We went through many rounds of samples to get the color right and Commerce Color was so patient with us. The final product looked fabulous and Milliken has had countless inquiries about the wallcovering.” Principal Catherine Severson, Q Studio, an architectural firm based in Chicago.


"LEGO had a 'color universe' with which we had to work. LEGO Group was extremely happy with everything we and Commerce Color did, and felt that the color quality of the murals was incredible--the best of the LEGOLAND Discovery Centres to date.

Working with Commerce Color was incredible. They produced vibrant colors and excellent quality in all of their custom wallpaper graphics. And when we had a tight deadline issue and didn't provide them with artwork for one of the walls until the last minute, they turned the project around quickly and the mural was installed in time for the opening. They really contributed to the success of this project." Rich Hill, designer at Sally Corporation

Thanksgiving's magnificent excess

DateFriday, November 20, 2009 | AuthorTom Croghan

With Thanksgiving right around the corner, most Americans are preparing to settle in for a day of excessive consumption of their favorite foods, family and football. It’s one of our greatest American traditions.

And in this time of ‘economic recession’ it would be wise to remember these quietly alarming statistics that were taken from a recent issue of Newsweek about the vastly generous and entrepreneurial nature of our great nation.

  • Rich people buy the most goods and services. Households with more than $200,000 in annual income earn only 3.4% of the total income but contribute 14% of the consumer spending. This is a real and sustainable force that creates jobs in this country.
  • The rich pay the majority of taxes. In 2006, the wealthiest 1% paid 28% of all federal taxes and the richest 10% paid 55%.
  • The wealthy dominate charitable giving. People whose incomes reach the top 10% account for nearly 50% of all charitable contributions.  Give special thanks to those who build hospital wings and donate to research groups
  • Wealthy people are an important source of venture capital. They poor their money into start-up companies. Robust new business start-ups are necessary to replace antiquated and fading industrial businesses. 

So as we sit down to our own magnificently excessive Thanksgiving feast this year, remember those courageous entrepreneurs who risk money, invest years of time, struggle to manage, learn high level skills and ultimately achieve an above average lifestyle. We have so very much to thank them for.

And note the striking similarity to the Pilgrims who struggled against incredible odds to survive their first year in Plymouth Colony. It was those courageous Americans who set the earliest standard for thanks-giving.
