Venice Print Center
The Venice Print Center has been serving satisfied clients in the Venice and surrounding areas since 1998. At that time, owner Randy Kendrick opened the doors to his business, likely listening to Britney Spears on his new-fangled MP3 player. If someone would have asked him what a “smart phone” was, he may have looked at them like they were anything but. The world was preparing for Y2K, and people everywhere were wondering if it would all go dark when the new millennium began. And, back in Venice, Randy was about to embark on a professional journey that would find him serving his community and establishing one of the areas most trusted printing companies, a full 20 years later.
What does it take to be considered a pillar of the community? Having a giving spirit and a heart that yearns to return good fortune to those who have supported them is the answer for Randy and Lori Kendrick. Over the years, they have helped many mom-and-pop businesses reach their fullest potential by providing high quality printing and graphic design services. From business cards in the beginning stages to banners and event materials, then ultimately silk-screening and apparel services, they will have the materials you need at whatever growth stage your business is in. They have loved seeing their neighbors, family and friends’ businesses open and thrive. And, the reviews online bear that out with person after person providing positive testimonials to the level of service and quality of product that Venice Print Center delivers.
Over the years, the Kendrick’s’ have seen many innovative and helpful technologies emerge. They have always prided themselves on being on the forefront of great marketing and print details for their clients. Recently, they have seen an uptick in the number of automobile wraps in the area. They will happily extol the virtues of your business on a cool, bright, wrap. We all know that seeing these advertisements while we sit at a traffic light has spurred us on to call for a service or product. And lately, everyone has gotten on the bandwagon, since these types of “wraps” get nothing but a good “rap”. At Venice Print Center, they are always looking for the newest way to help their clients grow their businesses, all while providing good old-fashioned, one-on-one customer service.
How do you let the world know what you are offering? Do you have a great notepad or pen that you are dropping in your customers’ appreciation bags? A funky magnet with a catchy phrase will catch the eye of the homeowner when they need electrical or plumbing services. And, a banner can say it all as clients enter the doors of your retail establishment. There are so many ways to win over potential customers, and, at Venice Print Center, they have a plethora of ideas on how best to serve your clients and to get your name out there.
When it comes to IBE, Venice Print Center loves the opportunities it allows them to interact with other merchants in the area. As members for the past ten years, they have utilized everything from plumbing to pest control services. They love to treat their employees to lunch from BrewBurger’s and British Open Pub, thanks to easy-to-use QR Certificates. And, the savings do not stop at the office. Back at home, they have bought beautiful furniture thanks to an IBE barter. According to Randy Kendrick, “IBE opens up a lot of doors; it is great for business, personal, employee and client gifts.” He adds, “We just love all that IBE offers and regularly recommend it to others.”
Always thinking ahead, Venice Print Center is expanding in the plaza they are currently in. They have had to add a warehouse for their vehicles and machinery, and are incredibly thankful to the Venice community for their continued support over the years. The Kendrick’s were happy to introduce new business partners, Lance and Amanda Broat, within the past year. Lance’s skills have proven to be a great addition to The Venice Print Center and they are excited to see what the future holds.
