dream INK featured in Advantages Magazine!
dream INK was interviewed for Advantages Magazine "Fabulous Fundraisers" article in the June 2010 issue for our work with the non-profit organization Filter Pure, who we have helped create a quality brand image to procure donors in their mission providing long-life filters to those without access to clean water.
The article details our recent screen printed bandana project promoting four charities involved with HOPE 4 HAITI's recovery efforts, while coordinating design and printing of insert cards to be placed in 6x9" envelopes as order requests arrived via e-mail from our client. We waived storage fees and incorporated effective folding of the 2,000 bandanas which reduced postage costs by .32 cents PER PIECE. Full-service management and fulfillment of the project was handled with ease while our client was in Haiti on the ground helping those devastated by the disaster!
Our relationship began when Lisa Ballantine, founder of Filter Pure, was in need of a graphic artist to donate logo design services and create an effective, globally recognizable brand image for her marketing materials. Since the day we were inspired by her passion for helping people, our team has created web banners to advertise for online donations supported by four-color business cards, envelopes, brochures, and the ongoing project for the bandanas!
