Dear Friends,

   Like all of you, we're concerned about how the coronavirus will impact our families, businesses, schools, communities, and the nation, as a whole. Everyone will need to take precautions and make tough decisions, but we’re all in this together, and we will get through it! 

   I want to assure you that Port City Graphics is here to support you in your efforts to promote your business, brand, non-profit or team during this difficult time. We will continue to take orders by phone, email or social messaging, and your completed orders can be drop-shipped to your location. I will also keep the doors open to our retail store in Gorham, and while we always strive to keep our store clean, we are taking extra precautions now to ensure the store and counter area is cleaned and sanitized regularly throughout the day.

   Whether you will be closing temporarily during this difficult period or not, it’s a good time to evaluate your plan for recovery…because it will come. While it's tempting to cut your advertising budget right now, please reconsider. The experts agree, and history has taught us, that those who continue to promote or advertise when the economy is down are more likely to recover faster when it's over. Make sure it’s your brand they remember when things pick up! Call me and let me know what I can do to help you, and please, stay safe.
