Ithaca Carshare founder Jennifer Dotson contacted us less than a week before she needed an ad to run in the local paper. Maybe it was the quick deadline, cool client or super cause that keeps us begging for more materials to create for them, but we love being a part of this endeavor.
Not sure what Ithaca Carshare is? That's okay, it's new around here. By becoming a member on the Ithaca Carshare website (either a yearly fee or monthly) you have access to cars parked at specific locations in Tompkins county. You can call or go online to reserve the car, then pick it up at your scheduled time, and bring it back to the same spot when your reservation is up! The best part: you don't even have to pay for gas or car insurance. That's right. If you need gas, you can fill it up with the Carshare gas card (provided). Pretty cool, right?
Sharefact:* Most carshare reservations are made within 3 hours of pickup time
We had the privilege of designing our first ever parking sign for a client. The fine people up at Cornell (transportation dept) did a great job printing out our design (at right). Along with the sign we also enjoyed printing a tri-fold brochure/mailer and the other awesome necessities (letterhead, envelopes, postcard...).
Sharefact:* American households spend an average of $8000 a year driving and maintaining their primary vehicle!
