My name's Zeke and I run a bar that features live local music acts. You wouldn't believe how much cabbage it costs to print out flyers for our bands and special events. The local printers have got to be making at least half their profits every weekend just off of my commercial printing needs alone. This guy Darrell I know is a computer guy, you know the type, and over and over he's been telling me about free online flyer creators, free flyer templates, and free brochure templates. Over and over I keep telling him that I have looked online and all I see are a bunch of ads for free personal business cards that rope you in and offer you boring graphics and stuff that I can do better drawing out and designing on my own. Two weekends ago, our main act cancelled last minute and I had to book a whole new headline band. I just had no time to design and draw out the new flyers myself. Darrell threw me in front of the computer and I went to this site he knew of at http://www.superstoreprinting.com where they had all of these really cool graphics and templates to choose from which got the job that normally takes me a couple days done in just a couple of minutes! Darrell was right! What a timesaver! They even had a way to upload my own designs so next time, the art can be all mine and I can get it done in about a third of the time. Plus these guys had copies with free freight that were a whole lot cheaper than the wads I've been spending with the local print shop boys. Darrell royally saved my bacon, and he really did know what he was talking about. From now on I'm doing all my flyer and printing work online. I'm sold! Thanks a million Darrell!
