TRADE & BUSINESS ACCOUNTS
The account your rep answers.
Repeat customers run this shop, and the account program is built for them. It isn’t a portal login you’ll forget. It’s Matt and Colleen knowing your name, your artwork, and your usual order.
What an account gets you
Art on file. Logos, layouts, past jobs. Reorders are a one-line message. One monthly invoice instead of a receipt per visit. Volume pricing on recurring runs, quoted from the posted rates. Purchase orders accepted. And terms: ask about net-30 for established accounts. We set it up after a few paid orders, like any good trade relationship.
Built for how your industry orders
The program plugs into the pages we keep for repeat industries: realtors and brokerages, contractors, restaurants, schools and boosters, and property managers. Multi-location businesses welcome. If a national program won’t take your six Sacramento addresses seriously, we will.
Getting set up
Use the form below or call (916) 944-7195 and ask for an account. First order same day if you’re in by 10; the paperwork can catch up.
Start the order
Free proof and the posted price back, usually within the hour on business days.
Who this is actually for
Not everybody needs an account. If you order a banner once a year, the counter is fine. An account earns its keep when signage and printing have become a recurring administrative chore, which happens to a specific set of businesses.
Contractors and trades ordering job-site signs for every new job, plus truck lettering and crew shirts as the fleet and the crew change. Realtors and brokerages burning through riders and panels across a roster. Property managers running signage across multiple properties. Restaurants reprinting menus and specials on a seasonal cycle. Medical and dental practices reordering forms, labels and appointment cards. Schools, districts and boosters with a calendar that repeats every year.
The common thread: the same artwork, ordered repeatedly, by more than one person, on somebody’s expense report.
What you get
Artwork on file. Every layout you’ve run stays on record, so reorders are a quantity and a date. This is the part that actually saves time. It removes the design conversation permanently.
Priority in the queue. Account work gets scheduled first when the shop is busy, which matters most in the weeks when everyone needs something.
One monthly invoice. Instead of a receipt from every visit by every person, the month arrives as a single document your bookkeeper can process once. For a brokerage or a multi-crew contractor, this is often the reason people set the account up in the first place.
Volume pricing on real runs. The posted list is the single-order rate; accounts ordering in quantity are quoted the run rate. Ask rather than multiplying.
How to start one
Call (916) 944-7195 or come by 1835 Fulton Ave and say you want to set up an account. Bring your logo and branding, whatever pieces you order regularly, and a rough sense of how often. We’ll get the artwork on record and tell you honestly whether an account makes sense for your volume, sometimes it doesn’t yet, and we’ll say so.
Specific terms (billing cycle, limits, who on your team can place orders) are set with Matt when the account opens rather than assumed from a web page. Ask for exactly what you need; most of it is straightforward.
Multiple people ordering
This is the situation accounts handle best. A brokerage where every agent orders their own riders, a contractor where three foremen order their own job-site signs, a district where every school orders its own banners. All of it can run against one account with each person’s artwork on record.
It means an agent or a foreman can call and order without going through you, and you still get one invoice at the end of the month. Tell us who’s authorized when you set it up.
Questions we get asked.
Is there a fee to have an account?
Setting up an account is about putting your artwork on record and arranging monthly billing. Call and Matt will walk you through the specifics for your situation rather than a one-size answer. What’s certain: the posted prices don’t go up because you have an account, and real runs price better.
How much do I need to order to qualify?
There’s no published threshold, and it’s worth a conversation rather than a guess. The practical test is whether you’re ordering often enough that reorders and receipts have become a chore. If they have, ask.
Can different people in my company place orders?
Yes. That’s one of the main reasons accounts exist. Tell us who’s authorized to order, and each person’s artwork stays on file separately while everything bills to the one account.
What if I want to change something on a standing order?
Say so when you place it and you’ll get a fresh free proof before anything runs. Changing a phone number, a quantity, or a line of text on a repeat order is normal and doesn’t restart anything.
