A few weeks ago, we received a call from Meg Havern from TicketLeap.com. TicketLeap was looking for an easy and affordable way to have their logo displayed at the entrance to their Center City Philadelphia Offices.
This request made us smile for several reasons. First, Ticket Leap is an awesome company! For those of you who may not have see their TechCrunch article, TicketLeap made inroads in the highly competitive event registration and ticketing software market by choosing to cater to small companies and events. Ticketleap not only allows their clients to sell tickets online, but they offer box office solutions through the additional reporting and tracking services available on their website. Second, TicketLeap shares our vision in beginning a start-up adventure here in Philadelphia. Lastly, TicketLeap is comprised of a great team. They recently landed Blake Jennelle as their Director of Marketing and have brought on several others that round out their already fantastic team!
Kendall decided to hand deliver their print since their headquarters is only blocks away from ours. Within hours of receiving Meg’s phone call the TicketLeap crew was standing in their office admiring their Larger Than Life prints logo with pride. Kendall was able to spend time with their CEO, Chris Stanchak discussing their most recent purchase. Here is a video of Chris and his team finishing installation.

Today, I received an email from Lynsie at Showclix. Showclix is search engine for local live music events. Any band or artist planning to give a concert can submit the event to the site for FREE. Anyone looking for a venue to attend can search for cool stuff in his neighborhood. Showclix also provides ticketing services. In short Showclix is a great platform for artists to promote their invents. Get some more detailed information here.
Lynsie, her cofounder Josh and I go way back to spreadshirt - where much of the marketing success was due to Josh’s and Lynsie’s hard work.
Lynsie posted these pictures of her installing the Showclix logo print they ordered last week from LTL on the shlog. Lynsie’s comment in an email to me really encouraged me: “I actually put it up by myself… that’s how easy it was!. Thanks agian. The print looks great on the wall :)”
So there you go community. If Lynsie can install the print - anyone can do it
I’ve had this blog post for a while in my ‘to be finished and to be published blog post’. Last week I read on TechCrunch this post about a TokBox recruiting stunt. At first my attention was grabbed by the headline. ‘Just got fired’ somehow grabs everyone’s attention during an economic crisis, right? Then I learned that TokBox gave Tacos to ex Yahoo folks in order to interest them in the company and to maybe recruit some of them. [You can debate if this is a tasteful or distasteful idea – but this is not the point of this post] Looking at the picture I realized that TokBox taped their logo to their taco truck. (see the red circle)
I thought to myself: ‘A LTLprint would have done a much better job here.’ Instead of taping a paper-print to the truck next time just get an LTLprint. It will look much better, the logo would be contour cut, the logo could be much bigger (up to 7ft), and when you give the truck back you simply could re-stick your logo to a wall in the office.
I am not sure how successful the recruiting stunt was. TokBox has still a variety of open positions posted. But the stunt grabbed my attention and I learned about a new cool company. TokBox allows you to talk with your friends over live video for free. You simply post a link to your facebook profile, blog or website. When someone wants to talk to you they click the link and you guys video-chat. Learn more here and on the TokBox blog.
I am sending them a LTLprint with their logo – next time their truck will be decorated a lot better…
