We have a standing recommendation for anyone who wants the real story of the Navy SEAL Teams.

He served 29 years as a U.S. Navy SEAL. As a platoon leader in Vietnam, as the commanding officer of SEAL Team Two, as the executive officer of UDT-22 and as commanding officer of SEAL Team Six, Bob Gormly performed two tours of duty in Vietnam, as well as top-secret missions in the Persian Gulf and the Caribbean.

Need business cards! Who doesn't?
How about full-color brochures or flyers?

The Thompson Group designs and prints all sorts of very high quality custom business printing. We have the best resources for all kinds of printing - at prices you'll find amazing, once you compare them to other printers. We can't count the times our clients have "had a friend" in the printing business - only to find that friendship meant higher prices and slower service. One of our clients is still waiting for a quote from his friend on a job we have already delivered! If you hear "We'll do it at cost as a favor," get the quote and then call us next.

In a rush? We pull off miracles - but, like elsewhere, expect to pay a premium. While we'll likely cost less, your best economy means planning ahead in the design and production of your print project. For the very best prices, use the following guidelines:

Print Design: Give your design two weeks from concept to reality. Most jobs need multiple proofs. We can produce designs in 48 hours - but it is not advisable in terms of accuracy and cost.

Print Production: Once your design files are produced - allow 10 business days for the most economical and accurate printing. Allow an additional 10 business days for the most economical delivery. Here too, speed demands a premium price and delivery charges (paper is very heavy) go through the roof when you need it "now."

Simply put - Look Ahead at least six weeks to get the most economy from your printing projects. Of course, if you need it overnight - there's always a way.

Our print designers are highly skilled in Quark and Adobe systems - the standards for the printing industry. You shouldn't have to worry about pre-press issues - other than approving the designs with our Adobe Proofs that are sent to you online. For large jobs - we provide even higher quality proofs.

We manage the entire print production for you - so there's no need to deal with a design firm, a pre-press bureau, a printing firm, and a delivery service. One call and one point of contact is all you will need. We estimate this can save you at least 15 hours per printing project - overhead you'll spend - but never recognize as the cost of internal print management.

We automatically select the most economical method of meeting your print requirements with the highest quality print and design resources. If you manage your printing internally now, let us bid one of your projects. If you prefer your own print designer - or you already have design files - we can handle that, too.

Our recent quote for a 4-color tri-fold brochure on quality 100 lb. high-gloss paper stock - including the pre-press design work - was about the same price as the prospect had been quoted for 3-color printing on lighter paper stock, without the design work! Our quote represented hundreds in savings ... while delivering a much higher quality look and feel.

For small businesses - we recognize you might want to take the road to total economy - especially if you're just getting started. Call us for details on how to project the very best image for the very least cost.

If you know your requirements now - use our request for quotation form. If you don't - send us an e-mail.

There are all sorts of other services we provide. Marketing cards, return labels, sticky pads, stationery, envelopes. Let us handle the details. You'll get our expertise and great economy - as if they were free.

Customer Relationship Management (CRM) is a business strategy to acquire and retain the most profitable customer relationships. We've been a faithful follower of CRMGuru.com for a long time now. It's the world's largest CRM community with 200,000+ members. We consider it the only source for "straight talk" about this challenging subject. On August 11th, 1998, we announced "CRM's" "big time" debut when on that day, "IBM" announced the formation of a major organization to specialize in the realm of CRM. We predicted then - it would be a major influence in marketing. Since then, it has become a huge movement - and one of the most misunderstood of them all. Often sought out as the "Holy Grail" for business enhancement, many companies have instead found overwhelming problems with CRM. It - like other sophisticated approaches - is tough to implement and even harder to sustain. For these reasons, CRM is now controversial - all the more reason to understand its potential ... and its pitfalls. We recommend you take things one step at a time. Scroll down. First, sign up for the free CRMGuru "Customer Think" newsletter. It comes to you with a free 20-page Guide to Real CRM, written by CRMGuru's experts. Just click on the image to your left.
