about
Our focus
Merge offers a range of business services that focus primarily on the visual communication needs of small businesses.
Our commitment
From our initial meeting- where we identify your requirements; provide
pricing and set a timetable for implementation - to our on-going commitment to
your needs, Merge delivers results.
Why choose Merge?
Merge was developed to address the communication and promotional needs of small businesses, which have, until now, been overlooked or underserved by other business service providers.
With our background in full service graphic design, advertising, marketing and business management, the staff at Merge is well-prepared to address your specific business services and visual communications needs.
With Merge, you don’t have to settle for cookie-cutter branding solutions offered by most ‘storefront’ print centers, or pay the rates most graphic design studios and advertising agencies must charge to offset their operating costs. Our goal is to address your early start-up communications and promotional services needs at very affordable rates.
What else makes us special?
Well, for starters, we’re also a small business. That means we look at how we deliver our products and services from a small business point of view, much the same way you would. Unlike other graphic design providers, when we design your logo, we believe you should receive a copy of it on disk, in a variety of file formats, including a vector file,
that can be applied to whatever print needs you would have in the future. After all, what good is a logo design if you don’t have access to it?
Another unique feature at Merge is our promise to rarely charge our clients additional fees to upgrade their design projects the next time they need a re-print. Simple changes such as a new address or telephone number, or even business cards for a new employee, are always production costs free. You’ll only pay for the printing and often, you’ll receive a discount for re-ordering from us.
