Digital Duplicator Samples

Teal Pumpkin Project—a great way to share samples and serve your community and kids with allergies

September 26, 2017 by selltochurches Leave a Comment

You can support this great project by offering to print materials for your community and businesses to support an alternative for kids with allergies!

Halloween is great fun and a candy dream for most kids, but for kids with allergies, it can be a nightmare. Some children’s allergies are so severe they can’t even touch candy wrappers and going from house to house with an empty bag is definitely no fun.

Years ago, a mom whose son had severe allergies came up with the idea of promoting Halloween in an alternative, non-candy way. It has exploded in popularity with many stores and websites now promoting the teal pumpkins and alternative little toys and give-aways for children.

This is also an opportunity for you to serve your community and share your print samples!

The website www.tealpumpkinproject.org has lots of great resources, but at this page are a number of publications, flyers, posters, signs, stickers, that you could offer to personalize and print for churches and businesses. Below are thumbnails of them. Here is a collection of one-color images:

Though most of the items are one color (it is the TEAL Pumpkin Project), here is a fun, full-color one, (the resolution of the download is good):

For this project it isn’t so much about showing off your capabilities in printing, but about a great way to share an important service to your community.

Churches and businesses will remember what you did and welcome a sales call more kindly.

Help churches print training materials, a Through the Bible Reading plan

December 25, 2016 by selltochurches Leave a Comment

One of the most important things churches can do is to encourage their people to read through the Bible in a Year in Chronological order. A great sample for you to print out and offer to print for your churches is a booklet or flyer that gives them a schedule on how to do this. The booklet only takes 2 pages of paper, printed front, and back sides and folded in half. It is the perfect size to fit into most Bibles and gives people a handy checklist to refer to for the next year.

Many churches today don’t print the supporting materials they need to print for their churches because it is too costly and too time-consuming. You can show them by printing this sample how quick and easy it is to give people supporting materials that will really help them grow in their Christian life.

Below are the images of the Read Through the Bible schedules, below them is the ZIP file that contains all the files to create them.

What makes this reading schedule different is that it is in chronological order

This means that you read through the Bible in the order that events occurred, not just as they are listed in the Bible. I have an MA degree in History from the University of Colorado (as well as attending Fuller seminary) and though my studies emphasized the history of the church, I never did find out WHY the books in the Bible are in the order they are in and it is extremely confusing. You would never suspect the book of Job takes place early in the timeline of Genesis or have any idea where all the prophetic books fit into the historical books. The way they are now, without historical context, it’s easy to assume they are a group of angry guys ranting for no reason other than maybe God likes to yell at people. Once you know the real history, you understand nothing could be further from the truth. I suspect in the past, it was simply assumed you knew more about the real history of the events in the Bible than people do today

I suspect in the past, it was simply assumed you knew more about the real history and context of the events in the Bible than people do today, but regardless of why, the current order is confusing. You will be doing your churches a real service by giving them this reading plan.

One more thing—

Take time to use this plan yourself and read through the Bible this year in chronological order. If you are working with churches, it will help you understand them better.

It’s something I do every year and if you want my commentary on it, go to my church teaching blog: Until Full Light, www.untilfulllight.com

Every kind of Christmas sample you can think of, available here

Just about every kind of sample you need for Christmas for your customers is available in the ZIP files you can download below. There are invitations, bulletin inserts, business cards, postcards, connection cards all with images and messages for Christmas. I realized that though I made them available last week, I had the links at the end of an infographic and impatient people that we all are, many of you may not have scrolled through the entire infographic to find these files.

Let your customers know you have these resources for them and that you can help them by printing a gift run of samples.

Here are the files you can download to print samples for your customers:

These are ZIP files that contain ready-to-print PDFs, editable MS Publisher files, and images if you wanted to use them in emails, newsletter, or other presentations. I’m also doing up some additional designs for this year, but these are ready to go. Just click on the image download, save on your computer and click “Extract” to open.
