Helping a Friend In Need

These can be difficult times for small business across our nation. Rising fuel and energy prices have increased the costs to business, while often making it difficult for that same business to pass on the increase to customers. In addition, as the economy stalls, many states have increased their taxes and fees as they attempt to balance their spending on the backs of business.

Legislation, both state and federal, aimed at capturing revenue from “big business,” more often penalizes the small business caught in the tax net. Small, family owned businesses are often the hardest hit by these actions.

One such business is Sturbridge Direct, LLC, a full service direct mail service company in Massachusetts. Recent cancellation of orders by a national corporation, their largest customer, threatens to destroy this printing and direct mail firm which has more than 30 years experience.

Our close friend and colleague Alex Kowalski and his father run Sturbridge Direct, the reason we are writing this this message. If you have need of any of the services provided by Sturbridge Direct, we urge you to consider their company to meet your business needs. We have several friends who have used Sturbridge Direct, and were vary happy with both their prices and their services. They can work with businesses throughout the country.

Thank you very much… if you know anyone who’s in need of these services please refer Sturbridge Direct to them.

however have you hit the government sites such as FedBizOps (FBO) or your local state sites or local county/city sites for procurement? there is a lot out there and of course you would bid but it's a place to start....Good Luck....I will pray you get a big contract!

Being a good conservative check out local RNC and political offices Lord knows they use mass mailings.

It's truly humbling to realize how much people really appreciate your friendship and my family and I are honored and humbled to be your friends.

If anyone would like to know more about the services we offer, please contact us at the numbers listed above. In addition to a full spectrum of printing services, add mailings to the mix at prices that are competitive with anyone in the direct mail business. We've worked for some of the largest corporate, government, and non-profit organizations in the United States for more than 25 years.

Our particular area of expertise is producing low-cost, high-quality variable-data bulk mailings. We have written custom software to enable the production of complex variable-data documents in record time, in black and white, 2-color, and full color.

And for the few services we cannot perform in-house, our experience and contacts in the business will enable us to integrate them into any mailing job at the industry's best prices.

Thanks again to everyone here at TMR and Redstate for the boost right now. It will absolutely be remembered and reciprocated.

Give us a call to discuss your printing and mailing campaign!

I would also like to mention, and not as an afterthought (it's a Kowalski, which is something completely different ;) but because it is one of the core values of our company, that our printing and mailing services strive to be as environmentally friendly as possible.

For many of our printing jobs, we use Riso printing/duplicating and full-color inkjet machines. The ink based machines feature soy-based inks that produce very low VOCs and use a vacuum distribution mechanism to ensure minimum ink loss and waste. It's not often that you can run a printer capable of 100,000 sheets per day on a carpeted floor, but we can. Our inkjet machines produce full-color documents with a fraction of the power consumption of toner-based printers. You can read more about Riso's organizational commitment to the environment here, and you can also see that two of the printers we use as production machines were also the choice of the Green Party in Ireland.

Additionally, we are located less than 100 miles from the production facilities of Monadnock Papers, which is one of the premiere Green paper companies in the world, who specialize in producing 100% renewable, carbon-neutral premium paper supplies. We can source their paper with a minimum of shipping because of our proximity to their manufacturing and distribution facilities.

Our business is located 100 feet from the edge of a pristine lake (Hamilton Reservoir) in Massachusetts and we would not run our company any other way. If environmentally-friendly printing is a factor in your next printing and mailing job, we hope you'll give us a call.
