Testimonials
Kingman Leung – Pyramid Printing
Membership in VMA has greatly increased our sales through their shows, events and advertising opportunities. We look forward to participating in the marketing opportunities that VMA provides every year!
Dayala Levenson – Aslan Graphics
I’ve been a member of VMA (formerly PINC) for two decades and they have assisted me with every aspect of my business—including promotion, training and insurance. The people who work there are wonderful and their industry events help to make the Bay Area print and design communities connected and vibrant!
Barbara Stephenson – 300FeetOut
As the newest board member of VMA, I'm excited to be involved in guiding the association to improve our VMA brand promise, our membership programs, and business solution offerings for all involved. I sincerely hope that I can help make a difference and encourage members to contact their board to have a voice in this process.
Mary Jacobs – FineLine Graphics & Design, Inc.
I can’t thank you and David enough for being so responsive and helpful! I think we’re really going to be happy that we switched our insurance to VMA! Thanks for being so easy to work with!
Connie Hill – VeraCentra
You may not know this, but you are truly one of my personal, most valued partners. You have helped us in so many ways over the years. I am truly grateful.
Ernest Lompa – On Line Bindery
As a 28 year member in what was PINC and is now VMA, we look back and greatly appreciate the support of the organization. We really think of them as a partner in our daily and yearly efforts to keep things moving forward and to help grow On Line Bindery to what it is today. They support us in so many areas like Workers Comp, auto insurance, general business insurance, pumping up the local industry, advertising, hosting events to inspire people to want to be a part of our industry. They also have done a phenomenal job helping our HR department navigate the crazy area of personnel and the issues that go with it. So if you do not have a relationship with them, I would definitely recommend giving them a call. They can put you with the right person to take care of your issue or needs in so many very important areas of business, so you can put the customer first and leave some of the headaches to VMA to deal with
Harry Yue – Business Service Network
VMA has always been a great help with valuable resources from client issues to business requirements and I look forward to continue working with you.
Elizabeth Gleason – Canon Solutions America, Inc.
As a vendor member of VMA, we benefit from the community aspect that VMA provides. From the publications, to conferences and events, we are able to make valuable connections within the design and printing community.
Heather Martinez-Orr – Social Crows
VMA is a great resource for small business owners like myself. From providing the tools to run my business – to creative inspiration – they are always looking for ways to help those of us in the creative community.
Diana Watega – Harvest Printing Company
I love VMA. No matter what weird or different question I have, they always have an answer. VMA offers support to every aspect of our business.
