CORE Communications

Voice of the Customer

CORE — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 03:26:53 +0000

We are expanding our efforts to reach out to our customers to integrate their feedback into the way we do business.

We are seeking more customer input in a greater variety of ways, on a continuous basis, to gain valuable insight into what we are doing well, and what we could do differently to better serve our customers – from the perspective of what type of services we provide, to how we conduct every facet of our business with them.

We seek continuous improvement in everything we do, and as we move forward we will integrate our customers’ feedback into our process and throughout every fiber of our organization.

Every chance we have to engage our customer is a moment of truth; the truth about whether we have delighted them or disappointed them during that engagement.

Every touch point is also a moment of truth, from the way we advertise and market ourselves in the community, how we answer the phone, to how we package, ship and deliver our products to them. It includes how we respond to their requests, to the timeliness and accuracy of our invoicing. It involves every aspect of our operations, such that serving the customer is not just a department called Customer Service at CORE Communications, but rather the attitude and behavior of every member of our organization.

We hope you will take a moment and let us hear your voice by sharing your thoughts.

Thank you,

Lou Butera

President/CEO

Web Design and Development

CORE — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 18:19:10 +0000

CORE Communications specializes in high quality, unique Web Design for individuals, businesses, and educational institutions in Oregon’s Willamette Valley.

Whether you are looking to take an idea to the big stage or an established business with dreams of selling products globally, we work closely with our clients during all steps of the design and development process.

Web Design Solutions

Planning and execution of sites from start to finish through a detailed web development process provides a stable foundation on which to build web marketing. We offer you multiple design concepts and user-minded site architectures providing a solid foundation for marketing your business online.

XHTML & Web Standards

XHTML for structured, semantic markup and CSS for presentation. We take a great deal of pride in creating Web sites coded using recommended specifications established by the W3C. Adherence to web standards improves a site’s flexibility, produces less code, increases accessibility, makes the site more Search Engine friendly, and streamlines maintenance.

Site Maintenance

CORE’s services go beyond initial development. We provide maintenance and redesign services to those with existing web sites that aren’t performing, or to those that are simply out of date.

Database Management

Today’s marketing is becoming more and more database driven. How are you capturing customer leads and information in order to make a better one-to-one marketing campaign? As you begin to market to your customers and clients, your database size and quality increases in complexity. We provide the insight into successful marketing and business growth through the use of databases, variable database printing, and the web.

Bending the Curve Towards Sustainability

CORE — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 23:06:36 +0000

There are “green” printers, and then there is CORE Communications.
Many printers claim to be a “green” printer, but we take the concept to a much higher level. We maintain a comprehensive and innovative program that brings true sustainability factors into our practices:
Completely environmentally friendly production path. We have the ability to offer our customers products that are environmentally friendly throughout all stages of production, including papers, inks, energy consumption, chemical-free plating process and environmentally friendly UV coating.
Program Accountability. CORE was the first FSC-certified printer in the Northwest, ensuring that paper stocks that have come from sustainable foresters are available to our clients. Other sustainable partnerships include:

SmartWood Membership
Oregon Natural Step Membership
Sustainable Forestry Initiative Membership
Champion-Level Blue Sky Partner

Reporting on how your print project helped our environment. When our customers take advantage of our environmentally friendly production process, we are able to provide them with a report that measures all of the ways that our environment has been positively impacted by their choices.
Whether you are interested in our company’s endeavor to be truly “green” or our tools and abilities to help you maximize your company’s full potential, CORE Communications is here to partner with your company and help you grow and sustain your business.
