			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here at <strong><a href="http://www.pfl.com/" target="_blank">PFL</a></strong>, we know that Print Marketing is effective &#8211; and so do our customers. But, in a world that’s becoming ever more “green” conscious; you have to ask yourself, “Is printing sustainable?” The answer is a resounding <em>yes!</em></p>
<p>You’d be surprised at some of the facts and figures surrounding the relatively low environmental impact of the print industry. Combine these numbers with the booming conversion rates of print ads – and you&#8217;ve got a winning combination!</p>
<p>Check out this video from our friends over at <strong><a href="http://theprintcouncil.org/" target="_blank">The Print Council</a></strong> to learn more about the financial and environmental benefits of print!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.printingforless.com">PFL</a> </span></strong>customer <a title="Titan Outlet Store" href="http://www.titanoutletstore.com/"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Titan Outlet Store</span></strong> </a>sells industrial grade farm machinery; not the typical candidates you might expect to dominate the social media audience. But how many businesses their size can claim 26,000 facebook fans? That’s right, count the zeros – we said 26,000! </p>
<p>Social Media Manager Al Winmill describes Titan’s strategy as a consistent effort of prize driven contests and promotions that run simultaneously. This “gamification” results in a unique communication channel that Titan grows at an average rate of over 100 new fans <em>per day. </em> </p>
<p>Before Al began managing Titan’s social media in 2010, the company had about 600 fans – mostly friends and relatives of employees. With the 26K and growing fan base they currently have, the company is able to communicate more quickly and directly with customers. When new inventory is released or promoted, there’s an instant forum in effect that’s invaluable to the decision process.</p>
<p> Many of Titan’s facebook fans aren’t direct customers, but spouses or children of farmers. These folks get the word out on offers and products to the farmers who aren’t social savvy. The entire sharing aspect of social media is a key factor in the value of growing your facebook base. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Check out the Die Cut <strong><a href="https://www.printingforless.com/cardsgreetingcards.html">Greeting Cards</a></strong> PFL<strong> </strong>recently printed for Hashim Thomas, an accomplished artist and Creative Director of <a href="http://www.hashimthomas.com/"><strong>VisuaLogic, LLC</strong>.</a></p>
<p>VisuaLogic’s latest venture is a greeting card line based on Hashim’s “Icon Series” paintings. As noted on his website, Hashim <em>“believes in sharing meaningful moments with the people he cares about, and extends this philosophy into a fitting product for that sentiment.”</em></p>
<p>PFL experts went above and beyond with this project – creating six custom die and foil lines for the cards. The shape of the rock star’s hair line for example, has more detail than PFL has ever created in a Die Cut before.  </p>
<p>With a combination of modern art and historic significance, these cards bring a fresh look to your favorite cultural icons.</p>
