First impressions are critical. In business, those first impressions often come in the form of a business card or other identifying scrap of paper, so to speak. But, there’s a big difference between the premium cards and the scraps, so building a polished identity is vital.

Your identity – logo, business cards, letterhead, envelopes, etc. – is the foundation of your brand. Without it, you don’t have a brand. You might have a good idea, but nothing tangible to show for it.

Our identity packages serve to give you just that – a material existence designed to make you stand out in a crowd and be remembered, not just tossed into the garbage can. The identity building process begins with research. Lots of research on your ideas and principles, likes and dislikes, your competition and market. We merge this data with the rules of design, and voila, your unique identity is born.

For as much as we seem to be steadily moving in a virtual direction, room remains for printed materials in the marketplace. After all, there’s something gratifying about selecting from a huge range of textured papers and colorful printing materials to produce something that really makes a statement. Sure, your website might pop off the screen, but a brilliantly designed look book, postcard or brochure maintains a presence longer than a fleeting web page and says a lot about the strength of your company.

From catalogs to direct mail, we offer comprehensive print solutions that complement and enhance the design standards already in place for your brand. We also provide print buying services, helping you select materials and choose a printer that fits with your budget and timeline.

When it comes to building e-commerce sites, ToolStudios has tried every trick in the book. We’ve worked with a ton of different shopping cart systems and have even developed custom e-commerce solutions. Having done it all, we’ve made a few important discoveries along the way.

First of all, custom designed shops can be expensive to develop and maintain. Because they are built from scratch, working through bugs and fixing all of the details can become costly and require a lot of manpower.

On the other hand, most "boxed" shopping cart systems are restrictive, boring, and just plain ugly. Having to build your store around an existing structure limits creativity.

But here’s the good news: we’ve found an alternative.

We are proud to offer Magento as the ideal solution for your e-commerce site. Magento offers the best of both worlds, providing the flexibility of a custom site with the affordability of an open source e-commerce system.

Years ago, most agencies were built on an advertising foundation. Today, the focus has shifted to online and interactive venues for spreading the word, but the basic principles remain the same.

No matter the scope of your project, be it launching a business or creating a website, you have to tell people where you are and what you do.

That’s where advertising comes in. If you spend years of time and a small fortune cultivating an idea, only to have it sit there unknown, why bother in the first place? Investing in advertising is the most effective way to put your company on the map.

It takes time, patience and expert knowledge to launch a successful campaign. Let us do the work for you – we will develop targeted messaging complemented by brand-conscious intelligent design, as well as investigate your market, find the appropriate media and dictate proper placement for propelling you into the spotlight.
