Brand Ink specializes in creating marketing and
[? signaging ?] products for companies.
We're best known for creating really cool car wraps on
company vehicles.
That seems to be what people really recognize us for.
We're located right here in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
I'd say about 85% of my business is right here in the
Twin Cities.
We travel to their location frequently to do
the installs on site.
Whether you're a big company or you just have one truck or
a van, we can get it lined up and installed for you.
When I first jumped in, I had no clients.
When I was procuring machines and space it was really
terrifying, because I know I can produce great things, but
I need to be able to tell my story to people so they'll
trust me to help advertise their business.
Pretty much every client I got for the first four months was
through my website.
It's broken into Products and Services.
We have a whole wide variety of things we create.
So it starts out with car wraps.
And it'll talk to you about the different types of
materials, what the design is like.
From there, you can go into Fleet Graphics, Retail
Signage, Building Signage, and things like that.
We have a really good reputation for doing things in
a short turnaround.
So there was a company out of LA.
They want to wrap a food truck locally here and then take it
over to the General Mills
headquarters, which is downtown.
We wrapped the food truck on Friday.
We pulled the wrap off on Wednesday.
They found us on the internet, and it worked out really well
for everyone.
If somebody's actively searching for a car wrap and
they're looking to buy, that's when I need to reach them.
So having a strong web presence and constantly
working on updating it is really critical
to our success here.
If you're starting out nowadays, you need to go the
web route, period.
I can be competitive with the biggest companies out there
that do what I do and be able to gain enough clients to be
successful.
I've always really had a passion for art.
And I also really love machines and technology.
So it's kind of a neat culmination to be able to do
this kind of stuff because I get to use high tech machines
to create art.
