Experience Counts
Fernqvist’s sales team is made up of regional sales people who each offer our customers 10+ years of experience. All that experience is an advantage to our customers as much as it is to our business.
Teresa Caputo :: Northern California — (800) 426-8215 — tcaputo@fernqvist.com
"I joined the Fernqvist team in May 2010 with 20 years of experience in the label industry. I took a two year break from labels to design swimming pools and have now brought that love of design back to the label industry. I spend several days a week traveling around our Northern California headquarters to visit customers at their locations. I enjoy learning about products that are new to me like printers, ribbon, and ink to build on my existing knowledge about labels. I also love working at our Mountain View headquarters where I can see the day to day details of all our custom production work. Please contact me with your new challenges as I enjoy solving label related problems or call me to place that reorder."
Brian Mann :: Southern California — (714) 742-4730 — bmann@fernqvist.com
"I have been in the label and printer business since 1979 and watched the first thermal transfer printer come on the market. A lot has changed since that time and printing is much easier. Press printing has evolved into fast and easy 7 day turn — around while 29 years ago, it was a seven week wait. My experience has helped me to help the clients that I serve. I do have a lot of knowledge, just from my experience but I sometimes run into new problems that I have never seen before. I will still always go to someone with more experience to get the answer. I have enjoyed fantastic customer relationships over my career and in my 13 years with Fernqvist, I have met and serve many wonderful clients who have been with me for over a decade. I believe that comes from being honest and available. It also doesn't hurt to throw in some humor, once in awhile."
Duane Shepley :: Midwest, Texas, and the Southwest — (847) 551-1864 — dshepley@fernqvist.com
"Experience in the labeling business definitely has its advantages for both seller and buyer. Having done this for a few years now, I feel I’m much better able to find the right fit for customers not only in the look and quality of the label, but also in terms of holding up to whatever environment the labels will be subjected to. All labels, one soon learns, are not created equal. It’s very important to have an understanding of the different stocks, finishes, adhesives, print methods, etc. to help the customer make the right choices for both appearance and durability. Having very capable and experienced people in our prepress and production departments is also a big benefit for all."
Elsie Stein :: East Coast out of our New York plant — (800) 771-9316 (NY plant) — estein@fernqvist.com
"Considering the multitude of products on any store shelf that a consumer has the choice to purchase and that decision is made in five seconds or less, you better make sure your product ’pop’ out at them. A label is the least expensive marketing tool you can buy. A savvy company will recognize that my experience counts when making label purchasing decisions. They take advantage of the fact that I have a breadth of experience in a wide variety of industries gathered from my 12 years of working with companies to help them create custom solutions. They recognize that my experience crosses industries as diverse as hospitality and manufacturing to pharmaceuticals and wineries and a wealth of expertise in the food industry. My experience touches every level from end-user to the executive suite and if I don't know the immediate solution I have the knowledge and experience to know where to find it. My existing customers understand that my experience counts and recognize that I am their partner when it comes to label decisions. Together we make their product a success."
