Epingo - Local Business and the Community

Community Involvement - Parent Teacher Organizations (PTO) (PTA)
Community Development - Epingo Printing

Meet Steve Langham, President of ePingo.com, an online printing service.  Mr. Langham (pictured second from the right) is an active member of the Fremont community, and a small business owner.  I first became acquainted with Steve over the phone, after requesting a one-time donation for our elementary school.

Here's a picture of the gorgeous banner that Epingo donated.  I'll vouch for its excellent quality and durability.  It's a real keeper, and our schools will be able to use these for many years to come.

I hope Mr. Langham won't mind if I use him as my first example of someone who has bridged the gap between traditional marketing (i.e. advertising) and donating in the name of community service.  I had the opportunity to speak with Mr. Langham at length about his dedication to Fremont, and to our youth.  Every year, Mr. Langham donates his time to "grad nite." Grad nite is the concept that kids should spend their final high school days together as a group, engaged in fun (and supervised) activities.

Yesterday, as I picked up this banner, I also had the opportunity to do a little shopping for my own business needs, and I was quite impressed by the quality and variety of products that this shop -- tucked away in the Warm Springs area of Fremont -- does.  In addition to large banners, ePingo also produces short-run posters, and giant photo and art prints -- including canvas prints which can also be ordered  wrapped around a wooden frame.

You'll have to excuse me if I start a pitch here, but if you're in the market for large print marketing material, head online to ePingo.com.  After contacting Steve, I uploaded our banner image directly to their website, and found the process to be simple and quick.  Their pricing structure is transparent too.  Before you place an order, you'll be given price quotes and options, so you'll know ahead of time what you're getting.  And you'll be getting something extra too.  You'll be getting the satisfaction of knowing you've just done business with one of our local community heroes.
