Moving Day! |
About
a month ago, we made the great leap of faith and decided to add a
second location to Quantum Creative Media. This second location was to
be called Quantum Wraps due to the fact that this space was going to be
dedicated to vehicle graphics and specialty wraps. Since all the
printing and production equipment was going to be located at this site,
banners, signs and other vinyl graphics were going to be produced here
as well. Yes, the operative phrase here is -- "were going to". As this prospective scenario played itself out, we did move into
the new location but after about 3 weeks, the plan went awry. As we
learned, sharing bay space with another company is never a good idea. So
if you are thinking about sharing any kind of business space with
anyone (even if they are your friends) remember these old words of
wisdom, "Good fences make good neighbors." In business, personal space
is very important. This lesson was learned and excepted. Now to move
forward.

The new home of Quantum Wraps |
Even
though we were still reeling from the bizarre nature of this event,
there was no time to waste in moving forward with our vision for Quantum
Wraps. We had six days to find another location and move! It was down
right surrealistic how perfect the timing was for everything. There was
no immediate printing to be done. All our current projects were web
related so there was no real down time. We were able to quickly (within
24 hours) obtain a location that we had previously looked into but the
owner of the building was not ready to take action at that time. He had
been using this location as a personal storage space and dreaded having
to remove years of accumulated items from the premises. However, this time around held a much more promising story. He stated, "Yes, now it is time for me to get moving on this. I just have to do it." And he did. The building was emptied and cleaned in record timing. We are very grateful to Kent Boardman (the owner of Boardman RV in Pueblo West) for all his hard work getting the building in shape for Quantum Wraps to start business as soon as possible.

Perfect for installing vehicle graphics |

Full basement. New Recording studio? |
Moving day arrived. We were still recovering from the last move. To shine some light on the dark cloud of dread, we
kept focused on the end result -- a perfect location all our own. By
perfect, we mean just that. Not only does this location face one of the
busiest streets in Pueblo, it has two large bays, office area, a
private kitchen and bathroom area and a full basement. Perfect. We at QCM
are living proof that events that, at first glance, may seem less than
fortuitous are actually the "powers" that be, trying to give us that
which we have been really desiring -- if we let it. It really is all
about choices. In business, we can choose to revert back to the
comfortable when we perceive events as obstacles or we can continue to
move forward when we perceive them instead as challenges that only
strengthen our resolve.

Moving in. Vinyl will be moving too! |

We
would also like to thank Joe Prescia (American Joe, Pueblo's
Professional Handyman) and Drake DiNero with Dip Art Hydrographics for
helping with this move on short notice.
The
new location of Quantum Wraps is at 1401 1/2 W. 4th St. Pueblo, CO. At
this site, we will be focusing on vehicle graphics, wraps, banners and
signs. Quantum Creative Media studio at 2703 N. Elizabeth St. will
provide the video/audio recording and photography for QCM. The website
services, social media management division and copywriter services will be based
at N. Elizabeth as well. The sign for Quantum Wraps will be going up
this week and we will be opening our bays for business. Stop by if you
have a moment, either on-line or in person. We would like the
opportunity to assist you with your graphic design, signs, banners,
wraps and visual communication needs and show you how great your
business can look. Our "Q" stands for QUALITY and our motto is, "If you don't look good, neither do
we."
