Chris Hernandez is one of our super awesome account managers at StationeryHQ.com.  He graduated from the Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo which has one of the best printing programs in the nation, their printing museum is amazing. They even have a working Mergenthaler that actually still works.

He is standing in front of one of our HP Indigo 7500 presses. Aside from Chris’ passion for making the customer smile, we think his sense of humor is his best quality. And he brings chocolate covered pretzels to meetings. With sprinkles. Seriously.

Hi from Mark at StationeryHQ.

In 2014 I’m on a mission to introduce you to the folks at StationeryHQ.com. Some of them might not want to go on camera but I’ll do my best to convince them.

MEET  Mark

Our parent company is 24 years old, which makes me pretty old…..We started StationeryHQ.com as a result of our success with Tiny Prints and Wedding Paper Divas. In case you didn’t know, we were the manufacturing company that helped them launch. Scott (my business partner) and I met Ed, Laura, and Kelly (the founders) back in 2004.

They had a crazy idea of printing 10 birth announcements. We didn’t see how we could do it but they were really smart and really nice and so we sat down to try to figure out how to make it work. Those first few years were pretty rough.  Tiny Prints would forecast 75 orders a day and then give us 200.

We call it learn by trying over here. Roll up your sleeves and try. Everybody working hard together to make the customers smile. It really changed who we are as a company. Our mission statement is “Our passion is to partner with people to enable their creative ideas”. We didn’t really write that to be a marketing slogan even though we find it kind of catchy. We wrote it to express who we are at the core. Scott and I have been running this company since the start and after 26 years together (yes we worked at two other companies before that) we can finish each other sentences.

Getting back to our company. Our mission is to meet you with these videos so you know who you are speaking with when you call. We’d love to meet you in person when you come visit our shop or at the National Stationery Show in New York.

I can promise you that we have some great people who try really hard. Sure we mess up, because this personalized printing stuff can be pretty hard sometimes. But we really want to fix it when we do mess up so please ask. I’ll give you a hint, don’t yell at us even when we deserve it. When customers are nice about a problem the guilt kicks in and we work twice as hard to make it right.

You can virtually meet me by watching my video below and my direct line is 408.200.2711. Since I get quite a few of those annoying sales calls you will probably get me sooner at mark@stationeryhq.com. I stalk our facebook page pretty regularly too.

Thanks for your business or for just stopping by to check us out.

It has the aesthetic qualities of letterpress printing—the rich paper, the intense color, the lightly debossed type. But this isn’t your ordinary letterpress printing. Digital Letterpress blends the best of traditional print with the precision, consistency, value and turnaround of digital printing.

One of our newest services, Digital Letterpress Printing lets designers tap into the letterpress trend for their custom stationery and paper goods—at a lower cost. Use our easy online print ordering system and begin with your choice of templates, which feature colored borders, fancy die-cut shapes and blind-embossed embellishments. Design the center of the card with type and graphics, upload your creation and we’ll produce high-quality prints to your specifications. Affordable Digital Letterpress is ideal for stationery designers who want to upgrade their creations with texture and style without adding cost and time.

Or, work with us on fully customized stationery designs that tap into our complete range of specialty printing. Use Digital Letterpress to create designs that mirror the look and feel of traditional letterpress printing, with debossed text that’s achieved through a simple foil-stamping process. Create your own unique pieces—custom letterpress wedding invitations, personalized party papers, monogrammed note cards and more— with custom die-cut shapes, kiss-cuts and folds. Custom Digital Letterpress Printing is a great solution when you’re creating a complete suite of high-end printed materials for a wedding or event: Every item, from the save-the-date card, to the invitation, to personalized favor boxes and coasters, can be printed to match precisely. (No more disappointment from the quality difference between letterpress printed invitations and digitally printed programs or postcards.)

Digital Letterpress lets stationery designers add a distinctive look and feel to their customized paper products, without the lengthy lead times for traditional printing. And it produces consistent quality over runs small or large (we recommend minimum orders of 20 for Digital Letterpress or 50 for custom printing). Even better: Digital Letterpress helps you price your products competitively—call us to see how cost-effective quality printing can be for your next project.

Thanks for watching, and we hope you’ll enjoy it just as much as we do!

Wow. Talk about overwhelmed in a good way. The team at StationeryHQ knew we had a lot to talk about this year with our faithful clientele and scores of newcomers, but I don’t think we were fully prepared for the incredible reception we received at the National Stationery Show in New York.

The StationeryHQ Dream Team: Scott Feldman, Jack Tanowitz, and Leah Pyron

• Case in point. On Sunday, day one of the four day show, we ran out of almost all of our new double-thick paper samples. The ability to produce high-end imagery on Letterpress thick substrates is apparently a “yahoo” moment for the marketplace.

The buzz around our technology offerings was extremely gratifying. Kudos to our development team and a big thank you to our beta testers and feedback from our user community.

• Case in point. Here’s a couple quotes from existing users comparing the old StationeryHQ site to the newly released site.
  “One thousand times better. The speed and user experience makes such a difference.”
  “Like night and day. The new SHQ site has slashed my time to place an order.”

We also shared our new CAPOW (Complete Automated Personalized Order Workflow) technology with a few larger customers who want to add real-time preview and/or distributed manufacturing. While this is a larger budget item for most, there is definitely a bigger pool of clients than we thought looking to solve these challenges for their respective websites.

• Case in point. An online retailer with a website offering 30,000 SKUs desperately wants to add real-time preview to compete with the bigger players in the marketplace and to improve their conversion rate.

We really enjoyed the snark factor at the show. Some very helpful designers contributed to our booth decor with some witty word combos and big ideas. Thanks to those of you who took the time!

The team at StationeryHQ wishes to thank each and every one of you for your continued support. It’s always such a great opportunity and a real pleasure to put a name with a face at NSS. We came away from the show inspired by designers’ requests for new products and processes and couldn’t wait to get back and start working on them!

We look forward to supporting your stationery and gift needs and helping you solve your business challenges.

See you next May, or hopefully sooner.
