If you're like me, you've been watching the news recently with a lot of trepidation (and with a bottle of Tums nearby). Things are rough for business owners and organizations alike - and it's a vicious cycle, where each bit of bad news makes people want to crawl inside their caves and hibernate until the recession is over.

As a nation, we've faced dark times before. And what has always worked is people deciding that they can make the future a better place. The first step in that turn-around is believing. You have to believe in a better future - and then the how starts to fall into place.

Before the actions, has to come the faith. What has always worked in the past, though, is everyday Americans making the decision not to be afraid. Not to worry about the future, but to see it as a place of grand possibilities. 

At Perfect Impressions, we believe in a great future for our clients, our customers and our community, and we also believe we all have a part to play in bringing it about. So starting today, we are committing our company to that future.

Simply place an order for $100 on any product we offer or service we provide: silkscreening, embroidery, pens, mugs, t-shirts, banners, signs, you name it.

Simply tell us at the time of the order " I BELIEVE IN A GREAT FUTURE " and we'll take 10% off your bill.

No Gimmicks. No Coupons. No Fake Rebates.

Just tell us you BELIEVE...and you get the discount.

If you want to tell us more - great! We'd love to hear why you believe! We'd even love to share it with our other customers, and our community, and with your permission, we will.

We know that a commitment to making our community a better place can lead to success. We've seen those blessings in our lives, as we've grown over the last five years.  We believe in showing that commitment by giving of ourselves to the community - Debbie is the board president for Storm Aquatics, the local community swim team, while I am a committed member of the local Rotary club, as well as a board member of the Synergy Group and the Greater Lake Stevens Chamber of Commerce.

People have noticed our commitment - we were selected as Business of the Year for 2007 by the Greater Lake Stevens Chamber of Commerce, and I was honored to be selected as Rotarian of the Year in 2008.

But all of that is in the past. What matters now is each of us believing and stating out loud we are committed to a brighter future, especially in light of everything bad we see happening, can bring about that future.

I believe in that bright future for our town, our region, our state and our nation. I ask you to believe as well, and spread the word. 

Please, feel free to share this e-mail with your friends. Feel free to adopt this in any way for your own business, or organization.

I'd love to hear your thoughts. Drop me a line, or call 425-346-9422.

Have a wonderful day, and God bless.

Sincerely,

Don Speirs

Of course if you don't believe, you can pay full price. I believe in freedom of choice.
