#ACMEUNITY
Acme Print Company was effected early, and HARD in the winter of 2020 by the Covid-19 pandemic. Concert and entertainment merchandising has always been the core of our business. We had several customers call us mid February asking about warehousing and what we can do about pallets of already printed T-shirts slated to ship out. We knew we were in big trouble, along with the industry we serviced.
A few weeks into the initial covid-19 shut down, we saw momentum building throughout the print community with fundraising efforts. Tens of thousands of dollars were being raised by print shop owners refusing to give up, and at the same time helping out other businesses needing ANY sort of support. We took the best ideas from the most successful campaigns we saw, added our own twist and UNITY was born. Over the two year we kept the program going just under $65,000 was been paid out to the struggling businesses in our program. The program also paid our rent a few months, and gained us direct exposure to thousands of people who may have never known we existed.
