History of Central Ohio Graphics
Central Ohio Graphics...limited only by imagination.
Central Ohio Graphics acquired offset printer, The Spahr & Glenn Company (Founded in 1857). This acquisition added the experience of large format offset printing to our capabilities.
The name Meredith-King was officially dropped. All mailing functions previously under Meredith-King were continued under the Central Ohio Graphics moniker.
Service was expanded to direct mailing with the addition of Meredith-King Direct Mail (founded in 1924). The partnership resulted in a truly full-service printing and mailing operation unequaled throughout Columbus, Ohio.
Central Ohio Graphics was incorporated.

"Inspired Campaigns" Printing/Email Marketing
Connect your multi–channel efforts and get results.
Central Ohio Graphics Inc., knows that today's marketers cannot simply look at their offline and online channels separately. As customers utilize both, so must the marketer. Multi-channel solutions are a necessity and Central Ohio Graphics Inc.'s Inspired Campaigns service helps solve some of the major issues facing marketers today by integrating the e–mail and direct mail channels.
Inspired Campaigns
Limited only by imagination...
Here are a few examples of how Central Ohio Graphics Inc., can help YOU create successful multi-channel marketing programs with Inspired Campaigns:
| Problem | Traditional Solution | Inspired Campaign |
| Customer Retention Management (CRM) | ||
| Some of your previously active customers have stopped opening or clicking on your emails. | Send a follow-up e-mail with a more aggressive subject line hoping for a response. | A predetermined rule recognizes when an e-mail has become "inactive" and automatically triggers data to be integrated into an Inspired Print Campaign to remind subscribers to watch for exclusive e-mail offers from your company. |
| New Acquisition | ||
| Analysis shows that your e-mail channel has higher margins than your offline channel, however the majority of your customers utilize the offline channel. | Print your website address in your catalogs and direct mail pieces, etc., hoping the customer will migrate to that channel. | Create a personalized direct mail piece with content that is specifically relevant to that user and a Personalized URL (PURL) inviting them to visit your site. On their personalized landing page, detail the benefits of doing business with your company online and incentive them to make their first online purchase. |
