Before Anything Else
A few questions most shop owners haven't been asked
When a quote request comes in at 8 p.m., what happens next?
How many of last month's website visitors could your team name?
Where do new accounts come from today, besides referrals and reorders?
When the presses slow down, what's the plan to fill them?
If any of those took more than a second to answer, keep reading.
The 4 Silent Killers of Print Shop Revenue
Your Shop Isn't Dying From a Lack of Leads. It's Bleeding Out From These 4 Bottlenecks.
Every commercial printer has the same heavy machinery, the same lease payments, and the same access to corporate accounts. The shops that win aren't the ones with better equipment, they're the ones that stop bleeding revenue through these four cracks in the floor.
The manual quote trap
How many hours a week go into quotes that never close?
Slow follow-up
Honestly, how fast does a new web lead hear back today?
Idle equipment
When a machine sits idle, the lease payment doesn't stop. What's the plan to fill it?
Hire and agency fatigue
What have past agencies or sales hires actually delivered?
And if nothing changes?
If the next 12 months look like the last 12, where does that leave your shop?
What does it cost when a competitor answers that 8 p.m. lead first?
How long have you been meaning to fix this?
The 360 Full-Service Solution Stack
The Complete Growth Engine Built Exclusively For Commercial Print Shops
Everything your shop needs to unmask intent, automate sales 24/7, accept automated e-commerce orders, and dominate your local territory.
Stage 1, LeadVault
Know who's on your website.
The problem. Most visitors leave without a form, a call or a name.
What we do. LeadVault identifies the companies and people behind visits, shows what they viewed, scores intent, and adds fresh B2B lead lists and buyer-intent signals for your area.
If you knew who looked at your large format page yesterday, what would your team do with that?
Stage 2, AI CRM and agents
Answer every lead in seconds, any hour.
The problem. A lead that waits hours goes to whoever answered first.
What we do. AI sales agents email and text new leads within 30 seconds, answer by chat and phone 24/7, qualify the job and book calls on your team's calendar. The CRM connects to your MIS.
What would change if every after-hours lead had a call booked by morning?
Stage 3, Web-to-print storefront
Let customers order, approve and pay online.
The problem. Quotes, proofs and payments still run through email and phone tag.
What we do. A custom storefront for your corporate and fleet clients with file upload, online proofing, payments and reorders, plus a branded client portal for job tracking and proof approvals.
If repeat customers could reorder without a phone call, what would that free up for your CSRs?
Stage 4, Fractional CMO studio
A full marketing team for less than one hire.
The problem. Marketing gets done when someone has time, which is rarely.
What we do. Video and photo production, social media, Google and Meta ads, local SEO and AI search optimization so buyers find you on Google and in ChatGPT.
When a buyer asks ChatGPT for a print shop near them, who do you think it names?
One login instead of eight.
AI-assisted lead capture
See the companies and people behind your website traffic before they fill out a form.
CRM with integrations
One pipeline that connects to the systems your shop already runs on.
SMS, web chat and social inbox
Every text, chat and DM lands in a single inbox your team can answer from anywhere.
Meeting scheduler
Leads book straight onto your calendar without the back-and-forth.
SEO and reputation tools
Show up in local search and collect reviews after every delivery.
Email and SMS marketing
Stay in front of past clients with reorders and seasonal offers.
Attract · Convert · Engage · Retain
Branded client portal for job tracking and proof approvals

Encrypted everywhere
AES-256 at rest. TLS 1.2 or 1.3 in transit. Keys held in a managed key system.
Controlled access
Two-factor login that admins can require for every user, plus role-based permissions.
Backed up daily
Seven days of write-protected backups and a 30-day recycle bin for deleted records.
Tested and watched
Defenses aligned with OWASP guidance, DDoS protection, regular vulnerability scans and annual penetration tests.

HOWELL STUDIOS · FULL-SERVICE CREATIVE & MARKETING
Video Production, Web-to-Print & Marketing Built For The Print Industry
Most commercial printers try to piece together video crews, web developers, graphic designers, and ad agencies who don't understand substrates or click charges. We provide one dedicated team that knows the print business inside and out.
Visual storytelling that shows your shop floor the way buyers need to see it.
Most print shops can't show an out-of-market fleet manager what their floor actually looks like. A spec sheet doesn't carry that. We bring cinema cameras, drones, and lighting into your facility and shoot your wide-format flatbeds, wrap bays, and crew the way your buyers need to see it.
Shop-Floor Brand Films & Equipment Showcases
Cinematic films highlighting your multi-million-dollar presses, digital cutters, and precision finishing capabilities. Built to give out-of-market corporate buyers immediate confidence in your production scale.
What we deliver:
- 4K cinema camera production & licensed drone passes
- Sound design mixed around the rhythm of your presses
- Cut for your website hero, trade shows, and sales decks
Fleet Wrap & Commercial Installation Filming
Time-lapses, detailed macro shots, and finished vehicle reveals for high-ticket fleet wraps, architectural graphics, and retail signage installations.
What we deliver:
- Before, during, and after install sequences
- High-contrast color grading showcasing true vinyl finish
- Short-form social cuts for Instagram, LinkedIn & TikTok
Client Video Testimonials & Case Studies
Professionally interviewed case studies featuring your best corporate buyers, fleet managers, and agencies sharing why they keep coming back to your shop.
What we deliver:
- Guided interview framework handled by our team
- B-roll cut of their printed products in the real world
- Website and proposal embed packages
A QUESTION FOR YOUR SHOP
How many vendors are you currently managing for video, website maintenance, graphic design, and marketing? And what would it free up if one team handled the entire stack?
During your 30-minute working session with Patrick, we review your shop's existing creative assets and territory footprint to see which services make sense and which ones you can skip.
