Proof That It Pays to Stay Local

rot1You see everywhere the message to buy local, shop local, eat local, live local, etc. As a consumer, you care where your dollar goes. Have you ever stopped to wonder where your local businesses shop? Think about it - they have to pay for signage, plumbing, electricity, uniforms, repairs, advertising, and more. They care where their dollar goes, too, because not only do businesses have to provide a quality product and service to their customers, they also have to take care of their image, the equipment and people that provide their services, and the location of their business.

So where do local businesses shop? Why, at other local businesses, of course! Case in point: Bargain Barn, Inc. The eclectic and lovely retail store in Valparaiso has a reputation for being unique and professional. Conveying a proper image is very important and any smart business owner knows that details matter. So when it came time to print new business cards, they turned to AMA Design & Print in Valparaiso.

"Nick [Schwerd] and I were both preparing to travel to trade shows and our original business cards were difficult to read and some of the information was outdated," Tevlyn Schwerd, Creative Director at Bargain Barn, Inc. said. "Whenever I need anything for both my business and personal life I always try to work with businesses that are part of the Chamber, work with ValpoLife, and have great people working for them."

Tevlyn found out about AMA Design & Print through one of the employees, Brittany Young.  Brittany was a model in the annual Little Black Dress fashion show. Our own Lady LIFER, Jenny Craig introduced the two, and Brittany told Tevlyn about the great deals that AMA offers on business cards and other print media. So Tevlyn took advantage of the opportunity that was presented to her and contacted AMA.

"Brittany came to the Bargain Barn after work and we were looking at proofs the next day! We needed the cards fast and we wanted the design clean and easy to read and for the cost to be affordable. Brittany nailed it," Tevlyn said. "We also like that AMA runs a special that if they can put their logo on the back of the card they offer even better pricing!"

The special that Tevlyn is talking about is this: 500 digital full color business cards for only $19.99!

*Additional setup charges may apply for artwork not supplied as print ready. The offer includes "Business Cards by AMA Design & Print" on the back of cards. Call AMA at 219-462-8683 for more information.

This deal is pretty awesome. And so is their business card. Take a look at the image of it below!

Not only do you get good quality business cards that represent your business, but you get to represent another great local business as well.

"We here at the Bargain Barn take pride in supporting other local businesses and are honored to have AMA on the back I our cards," Tevlyn said. "It's people helping people and local businesses working together that makes our community so great!"

Truer words were never spoken. Shop local, people!
