"Regardless of your business type, every entreprenuer knows that sales is the first step to growing a business. Without a great sales strategy, even the greatest ideas can go overlooked. That was exactly our philosphoy years ago when we opened our doors for business on day one. Our only problem? We didn't know the best strategy. So we started the only way we knew how, cold calling and knocking on doors. In a nutshell, that was 2 years of frustration.

We knew that we needed a website, and we knew that it had to be good. We needed a website that could rival any major corporation and make us stand out from the crowd. We knew we needed to take our marketing program a couple steps forward, we just didn't know how. Then we met Dan at GDS.

Dan and his very talented team at GDS sold us on the complete package. Starting at the core, they developed our new Brand and set the tone for all of our web and print work to follow. They delivered a new logo, stationary, vehicle wrap design, trade show booth, brochures, print ad, and most importantly our website. During a recent sales walkthrough with 5 of our competitors, the owner complemented us on our business card. They took a second look, and before the walkthrough even started, our Brand was stuck in the their head.

In our business, we are constatnly investing in our own company. From trucks and equipment to real estate, we have always known the value in having the best. Our "Investment" in our marketing program, was one of the best decisions we have ever made. Two years ago we begged people to do business with us. Now, our website generates 5-10 leads per week, and we can barely keep up meeting all of our potential new clients.

GDS is an integral part of our marketing program, and I couldn't imagine doing it without them. GDS doesn't cost us money, they make us money."

Sincerely,
Michael P. Mills, Co-Founder, MCC Recycling Services

"On behalf of The Luca John Foundation we want to give you a big thank you for all of the work that you put into making our website, and creating an identifiying brand for our foundation. The work you did not only make our site visually appealing, and easy to reckognize, but it provides a sanctuary where families who have suffered the most severe loss anyone can face, to come and talk to other families.

The amount of heart that your employees put into our design and concept can be seen by the quality of the work that they produce. I hope you all understand just how important a role you have played in our mission. The ability for us to serve our two missions, 1) provide financial grants to insitutions that research skeletal dysplasia's and 2) provide financial assistance to families who have suffered the loss of an infant child is only possible by demonstrating the amount of dedication we have. Our new site shows that dedication, and allows donors easy access to contribute.

Again on behalf of The Luca John Foundation and the families that we have and will serve in the future, thank you." -Kevin R. Baranowski, Co-Founder, The Luca John Foundation

"It’s hard to believe that it was only six short months ago that we embarked on what I believed would be an overwhelming transformation. The prospect of improving Trans-County’s marketing image was not only exciting but a task I approached with some uncertainty. I wanted the best; the best ideas, the freshest approaches, and a solid commitment to the end. You and your staff succeeded in far surpassing my expectations. Thanks to your professionalism, motivation and creativity, Trans-County is now poised to be the front runner in the title insurance industry.

Our new brightly colored logo is definitely an eye catcher. Whether on our business cards, stationary or brochures, Trans-County’s name clearly stands out among the rest. The newly created slogan, “See the Difference, Clearly” not only applies to our company, but to yours as well.

The web site design and the new brochure are definitely above the competition. I am shocked and pleased that the web site ranks on page one of Google, Yahoo, and MSN in such a short period of time. I have already seen a return on my investment that will cover the cost of Google advertising for the next two years and we have only been up and running for less than thirty days. You took my vision of creating a title insurance commitment that is unique among the competition and made it a reality. I am certain attempts to duplicate the pocket folder will be forthcoming by my competition, but it’s the way all facets of this project compliment each other and work together that places us above the rest.

The entire staff here has been motivated by these improvements and come to work with a renewed sense of ownership and pride. Your ideas have been instrumental in fueling these changes.

Again, I cannot overemphasize my appreciation for all your time and energy that went into this entire project. I’m generally the type of person that prefers to complete tasks on my own and I knew that this was completely out of my league. You were there every step of the way, any time of day or night to pick up the ball and run with it. Many thanks for a job well done, you nailed this assignment hook line and sinker." -Steven Goldstein, Vice President/General Manager, Trans-County Title Agency

"I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and your staff for helping to launch our new company, Smoke Away Gaming Systems. When I first contacted your company about designing a logo for us, you did not hesitate to jump at the opportunity to create an image for us, which I thought was going to be something of a challenge for you!  But, after speaking to you and your staff, including Jen, Diane and Susan, you were able to come up with some very creative ideas for our logo, our company image and ultimately our website design and implementation.  I have to say (as I said all along) you did a job well done!  We are very pleased with everything you have done for us to help get our image and our products launched.

The icing on the cake was when you were able to work within a very limited amount of time in November to get all of the graphics together for our trade show in Las Vegas.  As a result, you helped produce an outstanding exhibit that was visited by hundreds of people and debuted on the CBS and NBC news stations while we were out there! My company and I look forward to continuing our working relationship with Graphic D-Signs. Best wishes for a successful 2007!" - Ashley Tanner, President, Smoke Away Gaming Systems

“We absolutely love our web site from Dan and the crew at Graphic D-Signs and so do our prospective customers. Sales have not been better or easier since our web site went online. It practically sells jobs for us. We were also very impressed with the time and care they put into making our site. They clearly went above and beyond in designing our site and were extremely accessible and helpful throughout the whole process. For the type of web site we have, their price couldn't be beat either”. - Dina and David Dresin. 3D signs, Baltimore, MD.

"I would like to take this moment to thank you for an excellent finished product! The brochures, business cards, logo, website and stationary that you designed for our company gave us a new and improved professional corporate identity.

In particular, we have received many compliments on our company brochures as we utilize them daily for marketing purposes. Dan, your dedication to our project has benefited us in many ways – not to mention the fact that we have become friends through the process.

Lastly, your professional staff was pleasurable to work with during each and every important task. Please feel free to utilize us as a referral for any new potential clients you may be in contact with. Thanks again for your dedication!" Thomas Graziano, Jr., President, Coastal Audio, LLC.

"I am writing to let you know how pleased I am with our new company logo. You have successfully created a branded image that reflects our personality and portrays the dynamic of our employees.  The combination of blue with green apple is unique within our industry, and definitely sets us apart from the competition.

I am also very impressed with the creation of our company’s advertising. You have achieved a cohesion of our brand that communicates our company’s internal commitment to excellence. Furthermore, your astute consulting advice has helped us make wise decisions concerning the allocation of our advertising resources. I am confident that as we continue to grow we will consider Graphic D-Signs as more than a vendor, but a partner in our marketing efforts. We look forward to a long and prosperous relationship.

"I sent out an announcement about the launch of the new NJWedding.com and I wanted you to know how much positive feedback I’m receiving from my clients. One photographer who is very “hip” had similar remarks about the new site.

I’m very happy that we hooked up with you on designing our new logo and re-designing our web site.  Thank you for your expertise and for your assistance and feedback along the way.  I think everything came together very nicely and our site has a beautiful new look as a result!" - Erik Kent, NJWedding.com, Hillsborough, NJ

"I needed to write to you to personally thank you for your wonderful logo, brochure and web-site design work. As I navigate though my completed site, I now know why my customers are raving. You not only captured my "company culture" but you have simplified the sales process for customers, leading us to more business.

Customers enjoy viewing the digital photography we integrated and the quality photos help to convey the message of what our company can do for them. The site also provides a great resource for our customer service team to direct customers to while on the phone, closing sales immediately during the calls! Our technicians are also asking our clients to visit our site, which is creating recommendations and referrals.

Thank you again for your insight, design, and friendship." - Jerry Smith, Dial Pest Control, Inc., Caldwell, NJ

"Just wanted to say, thank you for such an awesome job. You guys are the best! I enjoyed working with you so much. I loved the whole process from the logo design phase to changing the whole image of my company, and for the most amazing website, I have had several different people build sites for us before and you surpassed them by a 1000%. Your creativity on our print ads as well truly make us stand out above the rest. And the brochures - well - they are just simply beautiful!

Your work is not only artistic - but also meets the goals of our strategic marketing. Thanks so much from all of us at GA Landscape Design & Associates LLC.  We will recommend you to any one with an interest in having advertising and marketing services." - Kurt Bongiovanni CNLP., GA Landscape Design & Associates LLC.

"I've had a lot of compliments on the quality of our new image from Graphic D-Signs. I think our new logo attracts an upscale clientele. It puts us a cut above the rest and is eye catching and interesting. Dan has synchronized our whole advertising package - from website to letterheads to forms and vehicle design." - James Huettenmoser, President, Stashluk Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning, Chatham, NJ 

"Dan - read your article in NJ Star Ledger. Very impressive. Congrats. Just a few comments about what you've done for my business:

• We have too much work
• We are getting too many phone calls
• We are getting our price for our work.

Although I believe our work is very good, I believe the ad campaign, web site and marketing materials you created put forth a quality image for my company, which when backed up by good work equals success. Thank you for your input in my company's advertising, and may you have continued success." - Maurice Frederick, M. Frederick Landscape Contractors, New Providence, NJ

Thank you for everything, Dan. Graphic D-Signs gave us the complete business image package. This is something no one else offers. You gave our company a completely new look that allows us to compete with the best of the best. We have become leaders in lawn care and could not have done so without your help. This was one of our best business investments. So many lawn and landscape business owners are willing to spend thousands on a new piece of equipment, but unwilling to invest in their image. I'm glad I did. Thanks again. - Bryan Monty, 1-888-LAWN-TEC

"In the three weeks I spent with Dan on our web site, my whole philosophy of what the Web could do for me changed. Dan's Web-marketing therapy enabled me to better understand the Internet and made me discover ways it could be used I never imagined. I'd like to thank Dan Antonelli for his Web therapy and hard work on our site." - Jim Hamilton, NorthCoast SignWorks

"I get a lot of great compliment about my logo, pocket folder, web site, letterhead and business cards. I recently had a couple tell me how extremely professional my business comes across. I left with there deposit for a sweet $28,000 dollar job and a very very big smile along with tons of confidence. Thank you for taking me to the next level" - Manny Carlino, M&R Landscaping, Scotch Plains, NJ
