Bartleby Press is a bulletin publishing service. Unlike other bulletin printing services we provide custom layout, and print your bulletin. That in turn saves the bulletin editor up to 8 hours of work depending on the quality of the production and time available.
Occasionally we are sent an original piece of art that was created in an art program. This is a good thing if the creator understands how design works with the printing process. Consulting with your publisher before beginning this task could improve your quality. Screens, layers and colors on your computer screen do not always translate to the press and can leave one frustrated. A good rule is to ask a professional before your begin your project.Customers need Strategic Relevance

Social media takes up more time than it does money and it is another innovative form of customer out reach. What we are trying to do with social media is engage new customers. People don’t use just one form of communicating anymore. They expect more.
When we think about using direct mail, we are thinking more about our existing customers–like invitations to events and thank you notes. Using social media or direct mail creating a holistic campaign that drives consumers to the branding you want to get in front of them is essential.
It is important to have a diversified strategy that includes email, direct mail, and social media.

There is a lot of energy building about the dynamics of IT services. Marketers are forced to re-tool their sales strategy. Daily developments in information technology exert immense pressure on marketers to bob and weave through the expanding opportunities of media and service. Budgets and staffing struggle with increase demands on the bottom line. They plea for help but not just from anyone…they seek a trusted name in marketing services that can give them a turnkey map to success and more important ascertain their ROI. Bartleby Press is that trusted company.
According to Deliver Magazine (July 2010) "print still delivers a higher level of engagement and returns a significantly higher response rate. It is not a surprise to marketers. Spending on all forms of print still dwarf the spending on online advertising. Arguing about whether digital will supplant print next year or the year after that or the years after that misses the point. It's not about independence, it's about integration."
Printing services demise may be overstated, but it would be just as foolish to ignore the growing dominance of digital. Smart marketers are finding ways to blend the two to create an even more powerful connection to their customers. Are you?

Holy Redeemer Church in Aledo, Texas gets new bulletin

The new pastor, Fr. Publius Xuereb, decided to give his parishioners a present. He agreed to have Bartleby Press publish the bulletin starting January 31, 2010.
The thriving parish in Aledo, Texas recently dedicated their new church on Old Weatherford Road. It is a stunning new structure that the parishioners worked to build for the last 10 years.
The ordinary time color cover features a picture of the church at the dedication in April before any ground cover had been established. Almost miraculously the bare ground was filled with wild flowers as if nature itself was in commune with the celebration.
Not only will Holy Redeemer Church have a professionally published bulletin but the staff will be relived of a time consuming task of printing the bulletin themselves so they may concentrate on other services for the parishioners.
