The Printer: Stephen Ruff, one of our owners of 32 years and the shops production manager and estimator.

A lot of advanced technology and professional expertise are required to produce the product you expect. And that’s particularly true when you desire an archival-quality canvas print. At Creative Printing, we start and finish your canvas here in the print shop to ensure the highest quality.

However, before we get into the critical details, you should know that all of the products we use on our canvas prints meet the archival standards set by the Fine Art Trade Guild. Now, here is how we assure a product you’re pleased with.

First, to produce your canvas print with ultra-high-quality imaging, we use a state-of-the-art wide format printer.

Printed posters are like the rainbow. The possibilities – and the colors – are unlimited. Everyone loves posters, particularly if they’re personalized. Posters are used for marketing, movies, and meetings. They find their way into children’s rooms, Dad’s den, or a teen’s strictly off-limits bedroom. Framed posters are present where writers speak, musicians play, and artists display their wares.

 
Personalized posters are created from treasured photographs. Remember that photo of your happy child at Disney World with Cinderella, Mickey, or Pluto? What a smile! How about that favorite fishing trip with those four great friends? Look at the size of that whopper! Maybe that picture you “photo-shopped” of your daughter and Johnny Depp would be a big surprise. And then, there are those photos of that enchanting place you visited on your last vacation.

While we’re exploring poster possibilities, let’s not forget the family pet or a collage of pet pictures. And posters centered around family history, our revered war veteran, or that nerve-wracking high school football win of 1982, make memories come to life in a big poster way. Maybe the poster is a cherished quote with an attractive design, like that warm invitation from Grandma each time you entered her kitchen. It’s easy to get great ideas. Just look over those family photos.  We promise that your mind will be catalyzed with creativity!

So if you’re looking for a personalized, quick-turn-around, last-minute gift, we invite you to contact us at Creative Printing. We can customize your poster for that special person, place or promotion. Whether framed or tacked on the wall, a poster is a unique way to say: “I took the time to create something special, just for you.” And that’s why we’re Creative Printing.

Do you have a sweet tooth? If so, you definitely want to go to Sugar Boogers! Sugar Boogers, formerly known as Sugar Crave, is a locally owned small business baking cupcakes, cakes, cookies, brownies and more.  There bakery is located in the historic downtown area of Panama City Florida on Harrison Avenue.

In 2011 they ranked third in desserts in the Best of Bay.  Owner, Stephanie Carnley was inspired to start her own bakery by her children. She has always enjoyed baking for them and her love for creating cakes blossomed from there. Sugar Boogers has been in business for a little over a year, however she has been in the cake business for 7 years and loves it!

The name Sugar Boogers came from Stephanie’s grandparents. Her grandfather always lovingly referred to her grandmother as “sugar booger.” As you walk into the store you will find a canvas photo on the wall with a picture of Stephanie’s grandparents. They are each holding bottled cokes in their hands. The neat thing is that Sugar Boogers also sells bottled cokes! This canvas demonstrates the love she has for her grandparents and Stephanie wanted to have a family, homey feel when you walk into the bakery.

At Sugar Boogers you can order gourmet cupcakes, custom birthday cakes, wedding cakes, baby shower cakes, cookies, party trays, and our new minis by the dozen. The party trays consist of 7 gourmet cupcakes in travel containers. (So they will stay beautiful) They are then placed on a tray and wrapped and tied neatly. If you have a picture of a cake you want, simply bring it in and they will do their very best to match.

Sugar Boogers wanted to use a locally owned business that was in the downtown area for their printing and design needs. A little over a year ago they teamed up with Creative Printing of Bay County. Stephanie says, “They brought my logo to life.” She has Creative Printing print her labels and recently her canvas of her grandparents that is near and dear to her heart. Stephanie also used creative for her personal wedding invitations.

“The staff is very friendly and very excited to help”, states Stephanie. “They have great customer service and are willing to help in any way, with color, design and wording.” Stephanie also describes the service she received from Creative Printing as, “fabulous, informative, enthusiastic, and fast!” “Every time you come in you get the gratification of seeing what you want, come to life.” “The service I receive is just great! The end result is even better than you thought.”

• Remember, design and location of your banner will affect your sales when it comes to impulse shoppers. Approximately half of all sales are from impulse shoppers.

Tip 4: Advertise seasonal specials and set the mood
