A Brief History of Calendars

Since the Neolithic era, humans have used some form of calendars to mark the passage of days. Humans looked to the stars, the sun, and the moon, seeking order and structure. Without a way to organize our lives socially and economically around an agreed upon set of rules, communication and cooperation struggle. In the modern age, it’s easy to take advantage of the humble calendar, when in reality, it is a marvel of mathematics, astronomy and human ingenuity. It is also helpful when you need to remember what day is trash day.

Why Should You Order Promotional Calendars?

Promotional calendars may be one of the most practical ways of reminding your clientele about your business or product. It is non-intrusive, convenient and helpful to everyday life. Using our beautiful, glossy, full-color cardstock and custom designs created to your specifications, your customers will be subtly but clearly made aware of your service, product or epic fantasy novel. A promotional calendar is more than a utilitarian tool; it is a simple, effective and downright handy marketing tool that you can use for your buyer base. When one of your customers celebrates a family milestone, plans a date night, writes a reminder for their next business meeting or lunch with friends, they will be using your calendar and be reminded of the service you offer. The new year is almost upon us, so now is the perfect time to get your orders in so they can be returned to you with the utmost speed.

Why Should You Self-Publish with Rocky Heights Print & Binding?

You Wrote It, You Own It.

You’ve spent long nights and drank gallons of coffee putting your heart and soul into your book. That book is yours, it was written with your blood, sweat, and tears, and Rocky Heights Print & Binding has no intention of taking that away from you. You retain full ownership of the content that you have created — it’s our job to make it a reality so that it can get into the hands of readers.

Consider that giant Amazon. Should you choose to self-publish through their process or a similar service, you’ll find that your ownership is compromised. In most cases, you are required to consent to 100% exclusivity to their platform, and all of the trappings that come with it. Would you like your book available on more than one digital outlet? Sorry, no can do. Once they get their hands on your work, you’re at their mercy.

You Wrote It, We Can Show It.

You have complete freedom to do with your book whatever you’d like once it’s printed, but if you’d like a helping hand with exposure, we can help. We offer marketing services to help spread the word of your creation. We can help with custom cover design, basic or advanced copy editing, and we can even create a book publication press release!

Consider again that digital behemoth. Your book will not be publicized outside of their singular platform. We want the control over the publicity of your work in your hands. After all, you wrote it, so you should be free to share it in whatever way you feel necessary.

You Wrote It That Way, We’ll Print It That Way.

Something that is missing from the digitally printed word is the feel of the physically printed work. Format and composition in a written piece can be just as important as the composition of a photograph or a scene in a film. Rocky Heights Print & Binding wants to give you the freedom to be creative with how your work is presented, because in some cases, it’s not what you write, it’s how you wrote it that creates a lasting impression. Creative control comes from offering total creative freedom to get your ideas and stories across to your readers effectively.

You’re free to experiment with the size of your book — from landscape to portrait, journal, or even letter-sized formats. We offer both hard-cover and soft-cover options. Our printing facility is on-site, so the quality is totally controlled in-house. There is also the option to print as few or as many copies of your book that you need — from 50 to 5,000! If you need more copies down the road, we’ll keep your work digitally stored on file for as long as you’d like us to.

Contemplate a final time that electronic A-Z store. There are compositional components that Amazon simply will not allow, and failure to adhere to certain guidelines could mean reformatting your work into something you do not want or the removal of your work from the platform altogether.

Rocky Heights Print & Binding is committed to making your vision a reality, and making sure that you retain all ownership of your hard work. Contact us today and let’s get started on your project.

Welcome To Rocky Heights Print & Binding

ultrawood1 — Tue, 03 Sep 2019 16:56:48 +0000

Since 2006, Rocky Heights Print & Binding has been providing custom printing services, self-publishing services, and promotional printing offerings. We are excited that we get the opportunity to highlight what sets us apart at Rocky Heights Print & Binding in today’s blog. We are more than a local print shop, but at the same time, we have the warm, personalized services you’d expect from a well-established printing company.

If you are interested in finding a printing, binding, and publishing company worth its salt, this blog is for you! Just give us a few minutes to allow us to explain why choosing our print shop makes all the sense in the world.

Who We Are – Superior Services, Highly Customized

Rocky Heights Print & Binding was established over a decade ago in Birmingham, AL, with the mission to provide eye-catching marketing and promotional materials for businesses in our vicinity. Though we are still based out of our Titusville brick and mortar shop, we have now expanded our inventory and services to include nationwide professional printing services, book binding service, and self-publishing services, among others on the list.

In 2019, our specialties have expanded to include short-to-mid-run book production and custom, hard-bound book services as a part of our finishing and book binding services. Whether you are looking for customized, all-original layouts or inspired book cover designs, Rocky Heights takes the time to work with our clients so they can offer as much creative input as they want.

This isn’t just marketing speak here; it’s at the very core of our business. Our goal is to empower our clients by listening to them before anything else. That way we can collaborate to bring about an end-result they have true ownership of. Some clients prefer to be very hands-on, while others will let us take an idea and run with it. We are more than happy to oblige either style — and anything in between as well! At the end of the day, we want to make printing, design, and publishing a stress-free process with world-class results.

In addition to the above, We offer start-to-finish development support. After having your consultation with our team of printing/marketing professionals, you’ll get a sense of what we mean. There is a reason why it takes a special kind of company to be successful in our industry; it takes considerable attention to detail to meet an author, artist, or organization’s exact printing needs. We take great pride in aligning your creative vision with our experience, talent, and passion for getting the job done right.

Rocky Heights Services

Now that we’ve expounded on what kind of business printing company we are, let’s breakdown our main services on offer:

Custom printing and binding
Editing and typing
Graphics design
Book printing and production, including soft and hard-bound
Coil binding
Wire binding
Business cards
Fliers
Manuals
Promotional fans
And more!

You’ll find there are plenty of services listed under the “and more” section above, but instead of listing every single service we provide, we will take the opportunity to explain our core services in a bit more detail.

Printing Services

When we tell you that we offer business printing services for every need, we mean it! We offer a wide range of printing services, including pretty much everything from straightforward copying to customized photo printing.

If you are interested in finishing services, we can fold, staple, laminate, and bind like nobody’s business! If you are looking for a calendar, brochure, or flyer for a promotional event you have coming up, keep in mind Rocky Heights offers exceptionally fast turnaround times. Our in-house graphics department will create a visually appealing, marketable product for an affordable fee!

Finally, we also specialize in digital printing services — meaning low quantities and fast turnaround times at a lower cost. Check out some of our digital printing work when you have the chance!

Self-Publishing

To the unfamiliar, self-publishing refers to printing and marketing a book where the author is also the publisher. Practically speaking, that means the author must fund, format, design, and print the book, after which they will bring the book to market — all of which sounds like quite a lot, doesn’t it?

The main point of attraction with self-publishing is obvious; it gives the author complete control over the process. However, the disadvantage of self-publishing is equally as glaring, seeing as how most authors aren’t equipped with the knowledge or experience to successfully do all of what we described above on a professional level.

Many authors think they are forced into choosing between attempting to handle A-to-Z publishing and tragically having to give away too much of their creative liberty to a publishing company. But a middle-ground exists at Rocky Heights Print & Binding. We are a self-publishing company that can assist you in all areas of self-publishing your book, from design and printing to marketing and fulfillment.

With Rocky Heights, authors retain all rights, receive physical proof copy before production, and get low-quantity book order minimums — all with competitive pricing, making us one of the best self-publishing companies around! There are many other reasons to choose us for our self-publishing services, and you can check them all out at our self-publishing dedicated resource.

Promotional Printing

Whether your business is in Birmingham or elsewhere in the country, Rocky Heights Print & Binding offers promotional printing services to help put your business on the map. We offer everything from marketing essentials packages for new businesses to specialty birthday and wedding printing services. Whatever your event or brand’s essence might be, we will work with you until we’ve captured it.

Don’t hesitate to reach out to us if you have a question about what our promotional printing can do for you and your business!

Special Offer

Our family-owned and operated print shop is proud to offer a special 50 percent off, up to your first $500 and free ground shipping! If all of the above reasons haven’t been enough to move the dial, we figured this offer for first-time customers might do the trick!

Why Choose Our Print Shop?

In terms of both process and results, we are committed to being highly-customized for our customers and clients. In our experience, most print companies can do a decent job at one or the other, but organizations which treat their clients well while delivering stunning results don’t grow on trees!

At the end of the day, we make it easy at Rocky Heights Print & Binding, doing our best to surpass your expectations in every way. If you are ready to request a quote for the business printing, publishing, or promotional materials you have in mind, don’t hesitate to reach out to us — we’d love to hear from you!
