For a wholesale flag company just 30 miles from the World Trade Center, the aftermath of 9\/11 was a personally emotional and professionally pressing time. Matt grappled with the loss of his best friend, who had worked on the 105<sup>th<\/sup> floor of one of the towers, while at the same time the demand for American Flags increased beyond supply.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 1.14285rem;\">It was a time where people needed a flag or anything red, white and blue to bring them together with the symbol of American unity. Matt worked 20-hour days, shipped more than a million flags, and would give away flags any time he encountered someone who had lost a friend or family member in the attack.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong>&#8220;The time around 9\/11 was out of the ordinary, and it took an extraordinary company that truly believes in serving its customers to rise to the challenge.&#8221;<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sageworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/eveningsunjuly13.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-8994 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sageworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/eveningsunjuly13.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"557\" height=\"369\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sageworld.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/eveningsunjuly13.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.sageworld.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/eveningsunjuly13-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sageworld.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/eveningsunjuly13-768x509.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 557px) 100vw, 557px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Listening Changed the Company\u2019s Whole Direction<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Excellent customer service through listening to his customers has always been the core of Quinn\u2019s business. As the company grew, customers increasingly asked for custom printed flags, then displays, signage, and more. At each demand, Quinn found a way to get the customer exactly what they wanted. Soon enough, the bulk of his business came from promotional orders and custom printing on fabric.<\/p>\n<p>In 2004, Quinn began manufacturing in-house, grew its staff of 14 to more than 50 people practically overnight, and hired senior industry experts to give direction to help the company reach its goals faster.<\/p>\n<p>The company officially shifted its focus from flags to full-color fabric printing, and eventually even dropped \u201cFlags\u201d from the name to simply be \u201cQuinn.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sageworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/staff-photo-edit2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-8990 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sageworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/staff-photo-edit2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"437\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sageworld.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/staff-photo-edit2.jpg 2625w, https:\/\/www.sageworld.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/staff-photo-edit2-300x202.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sageworld.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/staff-photo-edit2-768x517.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sageworld.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/staff-photo-edit2-1024x690.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Now, in 2019, Quinn is celebrating 25 years of business and is one of the largest digital printers in the promotional industry. They have three facilities in Hanover, Pennsylvania. The most recent addition is a 30,000 square-foot building to accommodate the increased volume of orders, new printing equipment, and additional team members in producing and housing over 6,000 products in over 60 categories. It\u2019s a company that is focused on meeting the needs of its customers and has a proven record of tirelessly working to do so, consistently earning the highest ratings of any Flag and Banner supplier on SAGE, with # 1 rating in Flags, Pennants, and Decorations among stiff competition.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Full-Color Fabric Printing Made Easy<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Looking back over the last quarter-century, it is clear that Quinn\u2019s key to success has been listening to distributors and learning from their challenges. One challenge was that their customers were beginning to have needs beyond one color spot printing. They wanted full-color graphics \u2014the kind that come vibrantly and economically with state-of-the-art digital printing on new stretch fabrics.<\/p>\n<p>So his team studied the market and realized that full-color printing on fabric with other suppliers often meant lots of intricate quoting, add-ons, set-up charges, and run charges for each color. He heard from his customers that they actually cringed at selling things like custom signs and exhibits because it was so difficult. So team Quinn saw the opportunity to simplify it and ratings soared.\u00a0 In 1 year, Quinn went from being rated 8<sup>th<\/sup> to 2<sup>nd<\/sup> in the industry in Signs and Displays!\u00a0 \u201c#1 is at our fingertips in this category,\u201d says Quinn.<\/p>\n<p>With Quinn, printing one color or full color became the same price. He was a pioneer in eliminating set-up charges. He grouped like products with different options and sold them at the same price, so it was easy to quote and convey to the end buyer. Quinn explains, \u201cOnce we explained its simplicity and ease of selling, it helped us grow exponentially, winning the trust and repeat business of our valued clients to help us become one of the Top Growing Companies in the industry 4 years in a row.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><strong>USA Made Quick-Ship Products <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In a product category where most suppliers have their products manufactured overseas, Matt is proud that his Pennsylvania factory can print, sew, and manufacture most of its core products right here in the USA, which provides peace of mind and quicker turnaround. In fact, most best sellers are available with 24 to 48 hour turnaround. But sometimes distributors need much more than a quick turn.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Going Beyond Custom Printing into Full Service Packaging and Custom Products <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In 2015, Matt received a substantial request from a distributor representing the San Francisco 49ers. Not only did they want 25,025 quantity of 3\u2019 x 5\u2019, double-sided 49ers flags with the highest quality fabric and ink, they also wanted them to be folded and placed in special wooden boxes, engraved with the 49ers logo, a leather insert and specific handle. These flags were to be gifts for each of the all-season ticket holders on opening day, and they needed the gift to fit the esteem of the occasion. To top it off, the timeframe to complete the order was tight. Matt leveraged his close relationships with other businesses to get the boxes, had his team produce, fold, and assemble each box, shipped them in containers across the country, and unloaded all 25k by hand.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sageworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/San_Francisco_49ers_Faithful_Flag04.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-8968 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sageworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/San_Francisco_49ers_Faithful_Flag04.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"434\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sageworld.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/San_Francisco_49ers_Faithful_Flag04.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.sageworld.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/San_Francisco_49ers_Faithful_Flag04-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sageworld.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/San_Francisco_49ers_Faithful_Flag04-768x514.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sageworld.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/San_Francisco_49ers_Faithful_Flag04-1024x685.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Orders like this proved that Quinn and his team were capable of handling some of the most demanding promotional orders. The production team was poised for special orders and custom work. So when requests for completely custom products came along \u2013 from stretch door covers to custom arm bands to stadium-size banners \u2013 the team was ready to custom manufacture anything needed. And some of them eventually became new additions to the line.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>New Products, Same High-Quality Printing<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Throughout 2018 and into 2019, Quinn expanded its product offering in seven categories, with 114 new products. As Matt would put it, the \u201cmeat and potatoes\u201d of the company is outdoor promotional products like outdoor flags, portable half drop banner kits, and tents. But the products receiving the biggest buzz at early season trade shows are from two categories: technology-based solutions to enhance modern displays and products that deliver convenience. Exhibits that light up called Illuminators. A trunk that transforms into a storage display table. Wrinkle-free tech-inspired stretch table covers. Pop-up table stands that assemble in less than 10 seconds. Lightweight reception stands that hold today\u2019s tablets. Of course, all enhanced with full-color digital printing. Great innovations, yes. But the most extraordinary feature of the Quinn line is the superior service that surrounds the ordering experience.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>SuperQuinn Superheros<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In addition to spring-boarding product innovation, Quinn has invested in strengthening his team with seasoned veterans who understand how to consistently deliver customer service excellence.<\/p>\n<p>Service has always been top-notch with a long list of awards, starting with an A+ customer care rating from SAGE. The customer service team is trained and experienced at jumping through hoops to make the ordering and printing process easier than any of its competitors. But now, Matt aims to go even further by focusing on helping distributors become superheroes for their clients. \u201cIf we make the distributor the hero, then together we can win the business over and over again,\u201d Quinn explained proudly. The company\u2019s latest marketing campaign featuring an animated Super Quinn illustrates this commitment.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sageworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/20190115_145637.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-8998 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sageworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/20190115_145637.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"649\" height=\"486\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sageworld.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/20190115_145637.jpg 4032w, https:\/\/www.sageworld.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/20190115_145637-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sageworld.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/20190115_145637-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sageworld.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/20190115_145637-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.sageworld.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/20190115_145637-228x171.jpg 228w, https:\/\/www.sageworld.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/20190115_145637-160x120.jpg 160w, https:\/\/www.sageworld.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/20190115_145637-320x240.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.sageworld.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/20190115_145637-380x285.jpg 380w, https:\/\/www.sageworld.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/20190115_145637-700x525.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.sageworld.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/20190115_145637-760x570.jpg 760w, https:\/\/www.sageworld.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/20190115_145637-1140x855.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 649px) 100vw, 649px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong>&#8220;It\u2019s about helping them save the day with one outstanding promotional product at a time.&#8221;<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>So what\u2019s in store for Quinn and its customers for the next 25 years? \u201cJust you wait and see,\u201d nods Matt Quinn, with a twinkle in his eye. \u201cYou can be sure it will be designed for the distributor, around the needs of the market, making everyone look like the heroes they are.
