Signage Company Thrives In A Down Economy

by wlconcepts 19. October 2011 05:47

You can call it The Great Recession, The Mini Depression or something similar, but one fact is abundantly clear: there are small to medium sized businesses thriving despite the “down” economy.

Case in point: Long Island New York’s WL Concepts. A multifaceted signage design, manufacturing and distribution company that has placed significant emphasis on innovation, reinvestment in manufacturing infrastructure and a realization that superior customer service will definitely be recognized and rewarded.

Owner and Long Island resident Bill Levine is a Vietnam combat veteran who understood early on that the traditional American virtue of hard work, quality products and relationship building will help his business to grow.

Mr. Levine was recently profiled in Newsday, the metropolitan Long Island, New York daily newspaper, which was intrigued by his fresh and clearly defined approach to product and marketing.  As Newsday pointed out, little did Mr. Levine initially realize that his last job would eventually lead him into what would become a 3.5 million plus operation that employs 20 people.

 

Mr. Levine’s company has established a loyal national clientele. Many of their customers are repeat clients who have come to depend on Mr. Levine and WL Concepts for innovative product design, quality manufacturing standards and timely delivery.

 

WL Concepts Director of Marketing Marian Keilson told us that the company is in the advanced stage of expansion and renovation to include a 15,000 square-foot-facility in Freeport, where operations will be consolidated and production increased.

 

We took a personal tour this summer of the new facility and it was impressive to see the array of state-of-the-art design and fabrication equipment that justified a $300,000 plus investment in new technology.

 

From design to production to installation, the company has maintained a vision of custom, eye-appealing displays that will make an impression and capture market share for its clients. The company’s goal is to blend their vision with the materials and their creativity, resulting in a masterful shaping of client company image and overall brand elevation.

 

“It goes without saying that you want a signage, graphics and display company with experience and a proven track record,” Mr. Levine observes.

 

Ms. Keilson additionally points out that a client should not be afraid to ask what type of experience they have and who they’ve worked with. A good visual display company will have photos and samples of their displays for you to look through.  They’ll also keep up with the latest marketing trends and know just how to get your business noticed.

DHL DELIVERS THE SPIRIT OF THE HOLIDAY SEASON TO U.S. TROOPS IN THE MIDDLE EAST
 

Express Delivery Company Partners with New York Communities for Annual Trees for Troops Charitable Program 
 
DHL is partnering with local communities in New York to deliver live holiday trees and decorations to U.S. troops stationed in the Middle East through DHL's annual Trees for Troops charitable program. This program has collected and shipped thousands of holiday trees, lights, ornaments, menorahs and messages of support to the brave men and women serving in Iraq, Afghanistan, Bahrain and Kuwait since 2004. 
 
Local businesses, organizations, private citizens and nurseries have joined forces with DHL in donating and delivering 750 trees and holiday decorations overseas. THE NEW YORK official send-off events hosted by DHL in New York was on December 3rd. 
 
Some of the companies that teamed up with DHL for this send off included Dee's Nursery in Oceanside, New York, the New York State Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) and other members of the local New York metro community who donated hundreds of trees and holiday decorations to the program. "Santa Sacks" filled with thousands of holiday cards written by local school children were sent along with the shipment. The December 3rd send-off began at Dee's Nursery followed by the movement of the shipment to DHL's gateway at John F. Kennedy International Airport. 

The event moved inside to a room adorned with Holiday Decorations.  WL Concepts & Production, Inc. a Signage, Graphics and Display firm provided full holiday regala for this event.  Their expertise in visual merchandising paid off with a beautifully decorated Large Christmas Tree.  This one large tree was decorated with specially displayed Teddy Bears, unusal ornaments, and an attention popping display of DHL Trucks with loads set up on a track around the tree to highlight DHL.  Five smaller trees included DHL model planes as part of the decorations.  Several Wreaths and Garland also adorned the room.  These visual displays and holiday decorations are just one of the many projects completed by the gifted and talented team members of WL Concepts & Production for DHL.

DHL launched its annual Trees for Troops program in December 2004, when Jim Adelis, a New York businessman whose son was stationed in Iraq at the time, reached out to DHL to assist in transporting a shipment of trees to the Middle East. In November and December 2004, with the help of the U.S. Army Reserve 77th Regional Readiness Command, Dee's Nursery and the local New York metro community, DHL delivered two shipments featuring a total of 135 trees and holiday decorations from JFK to troops stationed at Camp Anaconda in Balad, Iraq.
