GRAPHICSLAND NAMED TO VENDOR HALL OF FAME

Graphicsland announced today that it has received the “Vendor Hall of Fame Award” from Hungry Howie’s Pizza at the company’s Annual Franchisee Meeting.   The award was presented “in recognition of your outstanding contributions, service and dedication throughout the years”.

Jeff Rinke, Vice President of Marketing at Hungry Howie’s Pizza made the announcement and presented the award.  Rinke recalled how back in 2001 he was looking for a sign solution for the company’s expanding franchise base.  Each store owner was creating their own promotional signage.  Rinke contacted Jerry Feil of Graphicsland to see if Graphicsland’s MakeSigns.com service might provide an answer.  In the following months, Graphicsland made a web site for Hungry Howie’s store owners under the MakeSigns.com corporate template program.  Individual store owners could go online, select and customize temporary promotional signage, and received finished signs within 24 hours  

Rinke said that over the past 14 years, Graphicsland has been responsive to the needs of Hungry Howie’s, creatively willing to handle tough projects and special requests with amazing accuracy.  He said he constantly hears positive feedback about the MakeSigns.com service.

Recently, Hungry Howie’s underwent a store menu board overhaul, and Graphicsland’s MakeSigns.com service created a custom set of templates, even a training video for Hungry Howie’s franchisees on how to order their menu boards.  Rinke addressed the room full of Hungry Howie’s store owners, saying “You know how it worked; you went online and entered your prices, and 24 or 48 hours later you received your menus, and they were perfect.”  

In accepting the award, Jerry Feil said, “After being in business for 35 years, the secret to success is simple, you simply do what you’re supposed to and serve the customer.” He said to the franchisees, “You know what I mean. You’re all in the service business too!”
