“We have several companies opting to start with a membership and then later going for an on site consultation,”  said Lon Winters, President of Print This, Inc. GraphicElephants.com, the product really fills a need for potential customers who hesitate to spend several thousand dollars for us to visit, but know they could benefit from our services.  Membership has it’s privileges.  It provides a bit of a safety net for garment decorators - someone to reach out to in an emergency, special project or just some help in general.”

 

The Gold Membership is transferable to an on site visit as well.
