Why Wrap? Numerous studies indicate that wraps are, dollar for dollar, the best form of advertising available today. Wraps are unique, innovative, attention grabbing, and cost less than all traditional forms of advertising. A wrap is 40 times more cost-effective than a standard television ad. Wraps work for your company 24 hours a day, seven days a week, generating between 30,000-70,000 impressions daily, and all for a one-time advertising expenditure. One out of three Americans do not read a daily newspaper or watch local TV news broadcasts, but 96% of Americans travel in a vehicle each week as either a driver or a passenger. A vehicle wrap typically costs less than the set-up and first two months of a billboard advertisement, and they typically last for 3+ years. #gamweregood #wraps #vehiclewraps

This is a great article on the Importance of Cohesive Branding in Business. Could a customer/client of yours get something in the mail and immediately know it is from your business without seeing your logo? When your audience scrolls through social media, do they recognize your posts without realizing it? Cohesive Branding is subtle and VERY important. Check out this article. Reach out to us -- we'd love to help you with your BRANDING! "Cohesive branding allows for a consistent and recognizable visual identity. When all marketing materials, from logos to website design, follow a similar theme and style, it becomes easier for customers to identify and remember your brand. This increased recognition can lead to higher brand recall and customer retention, as customers are more likely to choose a brand they’re familiar with." https://lnkd.in/eF8Mgv-d #gamweregood #brandingstrategy #YourBrandingPartner

It is with sad hearts that we bring you this post about one of the GAM mascots and our fellow workers! Ace you will be missed! ?? Ace came to the Grant Family as a foster, but decided to stay as soon as his Mama Faith opened his crate. As soon as she let him out, he walked around behind her leg and stayed. He never left her side and didn’t like her to move or go anywhere without her. When Ace came into Northern Virginia Sheltie Rescue, he was 45 pounds and had 6 fairy teeth. With a lot of hard work Ace was able to become a skinner version of himself by losing 20 pounds. He also lost all of his teeth but he was still able to eat if the treats and food were soft. His favorite thing to do when he arrived at GAM was to go to Uncle Nat’s office to get treats. A couple of weeks ago, the vet diagnosed Ace with a tumor. The vet put him on some meds and hoped we would have at least a month with Ace -- but it wasn’t to be. Ace left us on Friday. He was surrounded by his Mama Faith, Aunt Susanna, Grandma Ginny and his best buds Quincy and Chewie when he went to be with his Grandpa Charlie. #byeAce #youllbemissed?? #gamweregood #AllDogsGo2Heaven

Ever wondered what kind of paper the Constitution was written on? It's US Constitution Day and we want to give you the answer to this burning question: ????PARCHMENT???? Parchment has traditionally been used instead of paper for important documents such as religious texts, public laws, indentures, and land records as it has always been considered a strong and stable material. The five pages of the U.S. Constitution as well as the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights, and the Articles of Confederation are written on parchment. Parchment has been made for centuries, and is usually calf, goat, or sheep skin. The term vellum from the French veau refers to a parchment made from calf skin. The manufacture of parchment is quite involved. After the skin is removed from the animal and any hair or flesh is cleaned away, it is stretched on a wooden frame. While it is stretched, the parchment maker or parchminer scrapes the surface of the skin with a special curved knife. In order to create tension in the skin, scraping is alternated by wetting and drying the skin. The parchment is scraped, wetted, and dried several times to bring it to the right thickness and tautness. Sometimes a final finish is achieved using pumice as an abrasive followed by chalk in order to prepare the surface of the skin to accept ink. The terms parchment and vellum are also used in the paper making industry. Parchment paper is made from cellulose fibers prepared from fir trees or plants such as cotton or flax. Paper can be made which mimics the thickness and smooth surface of parchment. The terms refer to the finish of the paper and should not be relied upon as an indicator of its long term stability. #printinghistory #USConstitution #ConstitutionDay #gamweregood Information above from: https://lnkd.in/egMWAbP6
