President at magnetbyMail
November 2010I created magnetbyMail when we came across a way to make direct mail more effective. The product is a custom printed postcard with a magnet attached with easy peel glue. It's proven to be a great way to get into the home or office. Once the magnet reaches the fridge or file cabinet, it can stay for weeks, months or longer. Through magnetbyMail, I've been introduced to new clients from all over, including Fortune 500, governments, hospitals, ad agencies, colleges, builders, doctors and taxi companies. There really isn't any organization that can't make use of this easy way to advertise.

President at Corporate Signatures Inc
September 1994I founded CSI in 1994. In the early days, we sold custom-imprinted pens through full-page, full-color ads in national magazines. Within a few years, after listening to our customers, we changed. We began to design and deliver hybrid products that help spread a message, market a brand or help change behavior of a target audience. Our clients have included businesses, governments and nonprofits; from FedEx, to DKNY to the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. We aim to produce high-quality, effective items that others ignore because the item, customization or delivery is considered too complex. Some of our work still focuses on creating simple, customized promotional products, like at Pilot-Wing.com and ClipBadges.com . At magnetbyMail.com we offer highly effective postcard magnet mailers that most in the print industry would rather not deal with. Our unique approach includes design-based solutions, lean manufacturing, state of the art systems, teamwork and kaizan. Our ability to create and deliver products based on the needs of our client, quickly and affordably, is what brings clients to us. Our quality products and commitment to delighting our customers is what keeps them coming back.
