Quantum Wraps -- Moving Day (again)...

Moving Day!
http://www.quantumcreativemedia.comAbout 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.

"Q" stands for Quality
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."
