Well, we made it out of 2009 alive! Unfortunately the same can't be said for some of our customers, a few of our suppliers and a bunch of our competitors. It's clear that we are not out of the woods yet, and that 2010, without a doubt will have unforeseen challenges. The good news is that Label Network had another strong year and we look forward to an even stronger 2010.
Not only have we gained several new customers, our return customers used Label Network's resources to increase their business with new projects and solutions that helped their company save money and grow.
One thing we definitely learned in '09 is to be efficient. We've always run a tight ship at Label Network but we still found ways to be even more competitive. We had no price increases on our stock label items which we will continue to honor through 2010 with some items even decreasing in cost. We've also introduced an inexpensive sticker line for entertainers and artistes to market themselves and their products.
In 2009 Label Network accomplished it's goals starting with the updating of our websites. The new and improved site went live in October which was no small feat. Ad campaigns to promote our Stock Label Store were evaluated and updated as well.
2009 was also the year that Label Network was recognized as a Better Business Bureau accredited business. We accepted this honor and continue to be committed to the valuable services we provide.
We also helped create Michigan Green Business, an organization that helps educate and promote environmentally conscience Michigan based businesses. With business owners hungry for "green" ideas today, MI Green Business is and continues to be a huge success. Please visit
www.migreenbusiness.org. Label Network supplies all the stickers and printed materials using eco-friendly processes and materials whenever possible. We've got all kinds of new green projects for the coming new year and will keep you posted on them.
We at Label Network would like to thank all of our customers and suppliers for a great year in a not so great economy and we look forward to a safe, happy and prosperous 2010!
Sincerely,
Kevin Pachla
Label Network
