Discovery & Training Graduating class May 2010 | Engrave-A-Crete

The Class of May 2010 graduated from the Discovery and Training Seminar last week with lots of enthusiasm. The group connected well with one another and made plans to stay in touch when they got back to their homes. They had plenty to say about their experiences while learning decorative concrete engraving.

“Thanks to all your staff. I know that I can do what I learned here and my life will be better now. It was a great adventure and Brandon is a great teacher.”

“This is one of the most informative seminars I’ve ever attended. I knew absolutely nothing about concrete except that it was on my driveway. Now, I’m super excited to start working. Very professional and educational. The teachers are experts and will answer all of your questions.”

Anthony Sinbandhit, Arkansas

“Engrave-A-Crete seminar experience was a lot of fun and a great learning experience. If you’re thinking of getting in the decorative concrete industry, the seminar is a MUST.”

Gerry Ireland, Washington

“When I first found Engrave-A-Crete on YouTube, I thought, “If only they had some kind of training class.” I scrolled down further and found the training link and clicked on it. I found the dates and prices agreeable, so I filled out the information. Dale called me the next day to talk about seminar being in about 2 weeks. It all looked and sounded great; I was still skeptical. But this seminar was well worth my money.”

Colors On Concrete of Upland, CA Solves US Map Problem at Local School

The students at St. Irenaeus Parish school in Cypress, CA share their patriotic spirit with one another at playtime every day because they have a 27 ft. x 38 ft. map of the United States on the concrete at their school.  The map is located in the courtyard/mezzanine of the school and has enjoyed quite a few little shoes walking across it.

The map has been at the school for a number of years, but the states’ shapes were always painted, an annual project.

A parent approached Colors on Concrete asking about a better solution. Marty Meewis, owner of Colors on Concrete came to the rescue.

Marty colored the states with varying colors, and the borders between states and all around the map were engraved with Engrave-A-Crete’s Kaleidocrete tools which include a Shark, Barracuda and Wasp.

Decorative Concrete Marketing Just Got Easier

The marketing department at Engrave-A-Crete has developed a new set of three designs for a tri-fold brochure that can be modified for your decorative concrete engraving business. The design that you choose will have your business name, tagline, logo, and contact information — essentially your BRAND. Each new brochure option has been designed by our graphics artist, using professionally developed photos that show the possibilities of engraving . She is ready to work with you to get your information arranged the way you want it.

If you need a custom logo, we offer that to you as an add-on design service.

Brochures give your customers, presentation and potential, a tangible way to remember your business. People just naturally want something to carry away with them. When you give prospects one of these professionally prepared brochures, they have pictorial and text information about you. That hands-on connection makes remembering you for their engraving projects very easy. When you leave a brochure with a satisfied customer, it’s just a breeze for them to use the brochures when talking about you with other people.

We’ve put a package together that includes exceptional value pricing for  the prep work on the photos and copy (ready for professional printing), the glossy printing and shipping.

    When you’ve chosen a design, submitted your branding information and committed to make your order, the brochures are printed and sent right to you.

    If you have questions, call us at the office (1-800-884-2114). These brochures will be one of the most useful tools in your marketing strategy.

    Psst! There is a secret product discount code at Concrete Resurrection. The discount , which changes weekly, is the secret.

    During checkout for an online order, there is an option to enter discount codes.  Simply type “secretcode” into the box and click APPLY.  The discount in effect for that week will be applied to your order.

    The e-commerce option at Concrete Resurrection is a recent upgrade. Many of our customers live in different time zones. All customers are working hard all day to get the engraving done. Calling in with an order during business hours can be a real aggravation. With the 24/7 opportunity, you can shop online early, late, Saturday, or while you wear your jammies. You can build a ‘wishlist’ and use the shopping cart view to help you plan for your projects and make sure you remember everything you need.

    Along with the new e-commerce site, customer support and tech support have been expanded. Reach customer and tech support at at 1-800-884-2114

    The ‘secretcode‘ discount and ConcreteResurrection.com expansion are not very well kept secrets. Someone has blabbed the news all over the place. Now that you know, always apply ‘secretcode‘ to your orders. Only one discount applies per order, so if you have another code, use the one that gets the best deal for you. Go ahead, let yourself go!
