I recently completed the 3M Advanced Installer Training course and last week I had my first install.  AJ was laughing at me as I was super excited to use my new 3M tool bag and my wrap tool belt as I was packing up all my tools and double checking best practice cleaning procedures on the walls.  I did it and it was so fun!!!  Surprising to many I am sure, I do enjoy installing and I can’t wait for the next project!  Check out these amazing wall graphics we designed, printed and installed.

It’s one of our favorite times of the year.  The McLeod County Fair is officially open.  All of our staff members enjoy the grandstand events, fair food, good music, art, games, rides and catching up with friends.   We are proud to be the 2017 Title Grandstand Sponsor once again.  AJ is celebrating his 10^th year as a member of the McLeod County Fair Board.  Would you like to win some tickets to join us at the fair?  Head on over to our Facebook page to join in on the fun.  For more information about the McLeod County Fair check out their website.  

Nothing gives us more energy and excitement than to be able to collaborate with local businesses to complete a sign project.  Our little community of Hutchinson has so much hidden talent behind their business doors.  In our business we have been so fortunate to get to know these other local businesses and their capabilities; we have always enjoyed having the opportunity to work together on a project with them and their quality and abilities never disappoint.  

Forcier, Incorporated is proud to be the title sponsor for the 2016 McLeod County Fair Grandstand.   The McLeod County Fair has been near and dear to our hearts since we can remember.  It is such an honor to be able to be a title sponsor.  AJ became a Fair Boar Member since 2007.  The grandstand sponsorship is new this year and so far we are really enjoying being a title sponsor and celebrating with giving away tickets to various events.  Check out our Facebook page to join in the fun.

You be the judge.  This is the same vehicle, which one creates a more professional look for this company?  Yes a wrap costs a bit more, but what a big difference it makes, this van looks almost brand new again.

There are several tools to help you manage your social media.  We are all so busy that sometimes managing your social media can be overwhelming and I would share with you two tools that will help you make this task a little easier.  Two of my favorite tools for social media content management are Nutshell Mail and HootSuite.  To be quite honest the reason those are two of my favorites is because they have FREE versions and they help make managing my social media much easier.  In this article I am going to give you an overview of these tools and how you can use them to manage your social media in 30 minutes a day or 30 minutes a week.
