Ads & Press Releases

You can count on Techni-Graphics to write and design creative ads to deliver your message, support branding efforts, and sell your product or service.

Techni-Graphics prepares media schedules that show how the budget is allocated each month throughout the campaign or year. These schedules identify the placement details for each publication selected to reach potential customers. Clients like approving their plan well in advance and referencing their schedule month to month to see at a glance where their ads will appear.

Seeing your professionally designed ads again and again builds trust in your organization and confidence in the success of your products and service.

Techni-Graphics understands the need to write press releases that are newsworthy and of interest to each publication's circulation. We want to capitalize on the free press exposure for grand openings, open house events, financial reporting, moves, new hires, expansion plans, and more. A good press release oftentimes includes a photograph and is sent to newspapers, television, and radio stations as well as trade publications specific to each client.

PHD Launches New "WINGSERT™" Pipe Hanger For Sprinkler Systems

Columbiana, OH - PHD Manufacturing, Inc., a leading manufacturer of Pipe Hangers and Devices, Strut Products & Accessories, and Sprinkler Systems Products, is introducing the new "WINGSERT™" Pipe Hanger. The patent pending "wing-tipped" design allows the insert to remain installed until the pipe fitter desires to release it - it's simple and effective.

The factory-installed WINGSERT™ saves installers the time of searching through the box for loose cumbersome parts. Engineered with 'going green' in mind, there are no disposable plastic washers or other loose parts. "Unlike the competition, our insert stays intact from the factory to the installation. If you want to take the insert out, all you have to do is squeeze it to release it," said Rick Persing, Director of Sales & Marketing for the Fire Protection division. Designed for 1/2 through 2 inch pipe, the WINGSERT™ hangers have UL & FM/Factory Mutual and cUL approvals and are available in metric.

Our slogan, "The Future is Now at PHD!" was launched at the recent AFSA Convention in Washington, DC to announce PHD's plans to launch many innovative product ideas in the near future. "We're excited about the response we're getting for the WINGSERT™ with no added material, and no added cost, we are happy to provide the best of both worlds," added Persing.

When it comes to product innovation and quality, PHD Manufacturing has over 38 years of experience in the pipe hanger, strut, and sprinkler systems industry. PHD's knowledge of state and federal regulations, along with its worldwide distribution network, allowed the company to become a recognized industry leader with an aggressive approach to quality, customer service, product development, sales, and marketing.

COFFEE SHOPS ACROSS THE NATION
PROUD TO OFFER TROPEA'S GOURMET BISCOTTI
". . . so moist and flavorful, they do not need to be dunked in a cup a coffee."

Tropea's Fine Pastry, a wholesale and retail bakery based in Campbell, Ohio, is fast becoming known for it's gourmet biscotti that has been popping up at fine coffee shops across the nation. Although the company sells biscotti direct at 330-750-0460 and on their website at www.tropeasbiscotti.com, they value their loyal coffee shops who appreciate how Tropea's biscotti keeps customers coming back for more.

The Tropea's take pride in using only high-quality ingredients and a unique baking process to produce biscotti so moist and flavorful, they do not need to be dunked in a cup a coffee. It all began in Tropea, Italy where the family's original biscotti recipes were handed down through the generations. The owners translated the recipes from Italian and added their own enhancements, such as the rare European Chocolate used in top selling biscotti like their Double Chocolate Decadence, the Chocolate Carmel Walnut, and the Chocolate Cinnamon Orange

Owners Jim and Susan Tropea bring years of business and baking experience to the company. Jim is a Chocolatier and Susan is a trained pastry baker. The company specializes in gourmet biscotti, along with brownies and baneberry tarts (a rare 100 year old recipe). "I see our biscotti as an artist sees the canvas� and we offer a variety of flavors"....says Susan Tropea. The adult pallet acquires a taste for finer things, and those who love to develop and appreciate the finer things in life will enjoy Tropea biscotti. "Just like fine wine, chocolate, coffee and tea, each bite is appreciated and evaluated for taste, texture, and appearance. Magnifico!" said Jim.

For information or to set up an interview, call 330-750-0460 or e-mail Jim Tropea at biscotti@zoominternet.net.

Sample Boy Scout Press Release:

CAMP STAMBAUGH & LOCAL SCOUTS
FEATURED IN POPCORN & RECRUITING COMMERCIALS

One hundred thirty one young men earned their Eagle Scout Award last year in the Greater Western Reserve Council. Scouting helps youth build academic skills, self-confidence, ethics, leadership skills, and citizenship skills that influence their adult lives. Through an exciting outdoor program, community service, and other activities, a Scout learns how to do things for himself and the value of helping others, and deepens his understanding of his duty to God, country and family.

The Trail's End Popcorn Sale, now underway, provides much needed funds to support our local Boy Scout Units and the Greater Western Reserve Council. "I thought a television commercial showing how the proceeds benefit our local scouts would be helpful." said Clarence Smith, a long time friend of Scouting, who's goal is to improve this year's popcorn sales. "The popcorn is very good, and I know more people and businesses would support the sale if they could call or e-mail their order". added Smith. As a result the council website was updated to accept orders arrangements with local Packs and Troops were made to follow up on the sale orders. "I want the youth of our Scout Units in the Valley to receive the benefit of a sale directly into their local accounts. Most of these kids set sales goals so they can attend camp or purchase camping equipment�. the popcorn sale is the vehicle they use to do that. It is how we can create their Ideal Year of Scouting program!" said Pete Biltz, Assistant Scout Executive.

A volunteer production crew worked with many scouts, leaders and parents who agreed to participate during the Cub Scout Summer Resident Camp at Camp Stambaugh. The commercial was designed from an Eagle Scout's perspective who believes that seeing the many adventures scouting offers, may encourage more young boys to join scouting and begin their path to Eagle Rank.

The Greater Western Reserve Boy Scout Council serves 23,000 youth in 6 counties in Northeast Ohio. For more information about scouting, the popcorn sale, or to sign up your son, call Sarah Marino at 330-898-8474 x15, or visit www.bsa-gwrc.org, or e-mail Sarah at s.marino@bsa-gwrc.org
