Lindsey Vonn and Susan Van Allen…“Sisters” at Heart

Thursday, February 25th, 2010

For years I told my family how, as a child, I would often ski at Buck Hill, a metropolitan ski area in Minneapolis.  I used to laugh and tell them I would ski down the hill and practically end up on Interstate 35.  It’s really metropolitan!

During the Olympics, I was surprised to find out that Lindsey Vonn learned to ski at the same place.  Being the older “sister”, my experience was many years ago, she followed in my ski-tracks.  Recently, I broke my finger and I’m now sporting a full hand/arm cast.  What a coincidence that Lindsey broke her pinky finger just the other day at the Olympics.  She just has to be like “big sister” Susan!

I wish Lindsey continued success and a speedy recovery.

Get well soon!

2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics Marketing Signage and Products: not only the biggest stage for athletes but also for printing

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

The 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Canada are in full swing. The worlds-best athletes have been training for years just for this moment. While it is the biggest stage for sports stars across the globe, it is also the biggest stage for marketing signage and promotional products. On every athlete, behind every news conference, around every competition, are print products. Marketing teams from around the world are blanketing the city of Vancouver with print. Take a look at these photos to really get an idea of how much printing is actually used at the Olympic Games. There truly is no bigger stage.

Whatever it Takes to Deliver On Time

Sunday, February 21st, 2010

We love our clients. We had one particular scenario with one of our customers where we had to go the extra mile, over a raging river, to ensure that our customer’s needs were met. Even the Mississippi River did not stand in the way of delivering on time. After all, as Brad says, “if you deliver the day after the event, the product is worth absolutely nothing.”

Some talented artists, a little creativity … and these brands and trucks come alive

Thursday, February 4th, 2010

At Banners on a Roll® we are always looking for creative ways to visually communicate a brand’s message or to promote products. With the help of some talented artists, a few trucks in Europe seemed to have figured it out.

It’s amazing how vivid such artistry can be … making it look as if the bottle is protruding out of the truck.
