Cedar Point has long been a favorite customer of Heritage Signs & Displays; we have printed their communication materials for over 25 years. They knew us from our origin, before we were Heritage Signs & Displays, Cedar Point “came on board” when we were still Gass Printing.
If you have read our story, you know that Joe Gass and his brother Steve purchased Gass Printing from their parents, Allen and Margaret Gass in 1988. The brothers goal was to make strategic and calculated moves in growing the print shop into a much larger commercial entity that served Southern Maryland and the DC business community. Together, they rebranded the “Mom & Pop” print shop into Heritage Signs & Displays and soon made their first expansion move to a commercial location in Leonardtown, MD. Cedar Point remained loyal to the print shop during this transition and continue to work with us today.
Good customers are hard to find. Great customers like Cedar Point Federal Credit Union are much more than clients, they are business partners that you grow with.
In the late 70’s and into the early 80’s, when Gass Printing and Cedar Point Federal Credit Union were both small upstart businesses, Allen Gass and Barbara Horn (retired President and CEO at Cedar Point) formed a business relationship that was mutually beneficial for improving their businesses. Under Barbara’s management, Cedar Point grew from 17,000 members with assets of $58 million in 1994, to their current 42,000 members with assets of $436 million.
During her many years with the credit union, Barbara implemented some of their member’s favorite programs:
- Moola Moola
- Looney Tunes
- YOUth Savings Club
- A’s = $$$
- “A” chievement Award
Heritage Signs & Displays worked with Barbara, thru the late 80’s, 90’s and into the next decade, on many of the campaigns Barbara and her team created and that relationship flourishes still today.
Currently we are pleased to work with another exceptional professional at the credit union; Lisa Shender, Marketing Director at Cedar Point. Lisa stays on point with all marketing materials for Cedar Point Federal Credit Union and has worked with Steve Gass and our Heritage Signs & Displays team (now located in Waldorf, MD) to produce an impressive line of communication materials:
- Newsletters
- Business Cards
- NCR Forms
- Tri-Fold Brochures
- Calendars
Lisa is a true professional and absolute pleasure to work with, as well as becoming a major benefit to the local community and the Cedar Point Federal Credit Union team. Lisa represents all six Cedar Point locations with inspirational marketing campaigns focused on communicating the exceptional financial services they provide to the Southern Maryland communities and businesses.
“Heritage Signs & Displays has been doing the lion’s share of our printing for more years than I even know.” – Lisa Shender
