Have you ever...
Called an equipment manufacturer to ask how to set up a graphic for
the job?
.... and they weren't sure.
Called Corel tech support to ask how to set up a job for your equipment?
.... and found out that they don't know the graphics your equipment
requires.
Called a material supplier to ask how to create artwork for their
material?
... and discovered they aren't experts in graphics.
Have you ever...
Spent hours figuring out how to set up a job in Corel,
because you aren't familiar with layers, multiple pages, or some other
feature?
Wished you had a CorelDRAW consultant on staff?
Guided your customer to a different kind of product
because you didn't know how to set up his job in Corel?
Do you suspect...
You have wasted time in your shop because you don't know the fastest
and easiest ways to use CorelDRAW to get the job done quickly and
efficiently?
You could handle more work if you were aware of creative
ways to use Corel? |
| Judy and I have taught CorelDRAW
applied for many years around the country, and have heard
lots of stories like these. Such stories really frustrate us because we
know the power of CorelDRAW and want people to use it profitably. We realize that not
everyone is going to be a Corel whiz, but many people are missing out on
its power. They just use Corel for
the basics; and are reluctant to use, or are unaware of, its powerful
features. |
|
Everyone in the industry needs to make money with CorelDRAW.
After all,
graphics is the heart of our businesses. So what to do? |
| We thought it would be
great if we could clone
ourselves to be there and help everyone through a "Corel
moment" whenever it occurs. But cloning is only real in "Star
Wars" -- or so we thought. But then ... the idea of an Application
Support Service came to us! We
realized that Application Support goes beyond Technical Support. |
|
Application
Support bridges the gap
between hardware and software. |
|
Software companies have people that answer
questions about how to use the features of their software. The catch
is you have to know the feature
exists. Most of the time the people you talk to don't know
engraving, sandblasting, sublimation, or any of the other processes you might have.
In addition, software technical support can cost $45 per incident or more.
Hardware companies provide technical support for
their equipment. Their
support is to insure that their equipment is functioning properly.
Their technical support people usually don't have an in-depth knowledge of
software application features.
Application Support bridges the gap; we can help you setup your CorelDRAW
graphic for
industry-specific jobs! We may be able to help you do jobs you couldn't
do, or perhaps help you do them faster.
Application Support is
Like having a Corel Training Partner, with industry expertise, on your
staff.

What
Does Our
Application Support Service Provide? |
|
A Monthly
Newsletter focused on
CorelDRAW Applied |
| We've talked with our friends
at Graphics Pro magazine (www.GraphicsPro.org), and
they have agreed to handle the logistics of publishing a monthly
newsletter for us. This newsletter will have a variety of tips on the
use of Corel, and occasionally we may have downloads of templates for specific
jobs. Just like the columns Judy and I write, the Newsletter will
contain practical applications with step by step instructions. The
Newsletters will be in a form that you can print out and put in
a binder for future reference for you and your staff. |
|
One on
One email Consultation |
|
Perhaps the Newsletter will be all you need. But if not,
all subscribers will have email consultation available for
industry-specific uses of CorelDRAW. The beauty of this is that because we use so many different graphic
production processes in our shops, we can help you with your applications. We can
help you set up jobs for laser or rotary engraving; for sandblasting;
sublimation; for printing projects (like literature); or for digital
printing and sign-making.
No more stumbling through
graphics, or walking around the bells and whistles. Now you can take on
jobs with confidence because we can be there to help you through it.
From anywhere in the country no matter where we're teaching, we can
connect by email, and within 48 hours or sooner respond to your request.

Discounts on Training Materials |
|
As many of you know we have produced
training CDs. These CDs are step-by-step audio and video
instructions that cover subjects like Making Artwork Usable; Laser
Engraving; and Laser Engraving combined with Sandblasting. Many
of our seminar students have purchased these CDs and have reported back
that they feel the materials are extremely useful.
We plan to introduce additional titles
on Sandblasting, Sublimation and other image transfer processes.
These materials will be available to our subscribers at a discount. |
|
Testimonials |
|
Since this is a new service, we don't have any direct testimonials;
however, here are a few comments from students who have taken our Corel-based
training classes for the industry: |

What
Does Our
Application Support Service Cost? |
| How to make this work?
We don't want to be on a clock with you. We know that some people may take
a little longer than others to understand a tip
or trick in CorelDRAW; and we want to be able to give you the
consultation you may need on Corel Applications; so what we've decided to
offer is an annual subscription service. The fee for this new
service is only $180 for a year. We know this amount ($15 a month) is
probably less than your email service and a lot less than most tech
support programs.
We should also remind you that this is not just CorelDRAW
help; it's help using CorelDRAW, and setting up jobs for your production
processes. It's industry-specific Application Support! It's a customer
insurance policy! It's the missing link between hardware and software
tech support. |
As a subscriber to our new Application Support
Service, you will be a part of our Inner Circle of preferred clients! Here is what you will receive:
 Newsletter of
CorelDRAW Tips & Tricks for specific processes;
Email consultation on
specific jobs;
Discounts on new training
materials (CDs, books, videos);
Be the first to find out
about our teaching schedule and new training materials;
Brief reviews of new
products; and
Downloadable templates for
specific jobs.
Many of your questions will be answered in our regular newsletters and
special reports. That's a great value in itself. But the beauty of
subscribing to our Application Support Service is that if any question
comes up that you don't have an answer to, we are only an email away.
We're there for you! |
