  • First Timer, how do you network?

    Hello to biznik land!

    I am looking forward to interacting with this progressive online community, and attending local events to further business-social networking, exchanging ideas and supporting our community indie businesses.

    I can't wait to learn more about all of you and how we as a community can support and help each other build viable and sustainable businesses.

    I'd love to know how others market and network in the graphic design/web/print industry, or just in general.

    I'd like to tell you a little more about my business and how we position ourself in the industry.

    I am co-owner of a Portland Metro area, multi-service graphic design, web, print, promotional products and marketing business. What sets us apart from other graphic design businesses is our personalized and individual attention to our clients. Zebra Graphics, whenever possible will meet personally with our client at their location. This allows us to fully engage with the client and their business on multiple levels.

    Zebra Graphics has continually expanded services to meet the requests of our clients. Our clients no longer need to fraction out their design and marketing needs, we offer a variety of services that support the needs and goals of our clients. From initial design to web or print production, including everything a business would need to extensively promote themselves at an industry trade show, we will be there - start to finish.

    Looking forward to hearing from you!
