“Our favorite companies to work with are those that provide value beyond their products and services. Cushing does just that. I recently attended one of their Lunch n Learns on website conversion optimization. Not only did I pick up actionable tips for my company website, they gave me an entire tour of their space where I was able to visualize techniques for office branding and privacy film right on the spot. They’re just lovely, helpful people.”

Not only did I find a company that provides creative solutions which offer great value for my clients, I also learned about using search engine optimization to grow my business (at a lunch & learn the same day.) I also connected with a new prospect interested in my photography services at the event. I quickly found out Cushing goes above & beyond processing print jobs!”

Amber Hacker from IFYC
“Cushing delivered on several fronts – they had the most competitive pricing out of all the vendors we researched, they exceeded our expectations on the final products for our office space design, and they had outstanding customer service throughout the process. I would highly recommend Cushing to any organization that’s looking for an outstanding product at a reasonable price.  ”

“Cushing's new space is a perfect place to present: intimate without feeling cramped, modern without feeling cold or austere. I had a great time speaking to business leaders about the value of employer branding, and hope to return soon. Oh, and take the tour: they do some pretty amazing work.”

Various Vendors

Throughout the day, vendors including Avery, Mohawk, GPA, Neenah Paper and more will be present. If you have questions on paper, your next project or just want to chat, please drop by. You’ll have a chance to see shop capabilities up-close and meet the people behind your projects.

Virtual Reality Panel

Virtual reality is not just a trend.  Goldman Sachs recently published a report that by 2025, it will become a $425 billion dollar industry.  It will have applications beyond video games. Just like direct mail marketing or search engine optimization, it is a tool that can be used to move promotional efforts forward.

How does it apply to marketing, graphic design efforts, and printing?

Neil Houtsma Shares His Cushing Experience
“We have worked with Cushing for several years now, and they always deliver. Recently, we were late planning for our largest national trade show, but between Mike Sherkey's responsiveness, and Anjelica Garcia's attention to detail and the production staff's ability to hit a very tough deadline, we made it. The work was excellent, the display spectacular and the show was a great success. Thanks for the effort, everyone.”
