Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
Since November 2, 2008
What is your primary product or service?
We offer fine art printing, both canvas and paper. All of our prints are archival (museum grade), and canvas prints can be either printed only, or we are happy to stretch wrap them for the artist. We are artists ourselves and our goal is to offer great quality prints at affordable prices for all artists, regardless of them needing one print or one thousand prints.
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
I became a working artist in 2007, after 15 years in the financial industry. I was having pieces reproduced, but couldn't find any printer who would do what I really wanted: provide archival prints at prices I could afford to pay (and that my collectors could afford to pay after I have marked them up to make a profit), that didn't charge me set up fees or image processing fees, and who didn't require that I purchase a run of 50 instead of the single print I actually needed (one well known local company even said on their website that "if you can't sell a run of 50 prints, you probably shouldn't even be considering having prints made". I decided if I couldn't find that person, I would become that person. And that is what we have done. We print for over 400 artists across not just the state or region, but the country, and a few in Germany. Some who only do a few prints a year, and some who require hundreds a month, and they all get treated with the same respect and care.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
We are artists. We know the struggle. We don't have set up fees, minimum order amounts, and our prices are the most affordable that we have found. We send out a quarterly email newsletter with listings and links to upcoming shows and opportunities to help our clients find chances to shwo their work and grow. Most importantly though, we don't just act like we care about our artists, we actually care about them. Many of them
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
We currently have one location in Chandler, AZ. We were looking to expand right before the Covid pandemic hit, and looking at the news reports coming out of Wuhan, we thought there was a big problem coming, so we didn't pursue those options. We are now currently looking to expand with an East Coast location, probably in the Augusta, GA/Columbia, SC area.
Provide detailed directions to your location
Honestly, it's easier to use Google maps these days. We are located at 374 E Ironwood Drive, Chandler. We prefer if you call us at 480-343-6217 or email us at MaynardOrder@gmail.com to set up a time to drop by, or you can also use the contact us option on our website at https://maynardBreesePrinting.com
What type of payments do you accept?
Cash/all major debit and credit cards/paypal/venmo/zelle
Which areas do you service?
As we stated, we primarily serve artists in the state of Arizona, or throughout the Southwestern region, but we have clients all over the country. We can, and do for quite a few artsts, dropship your prints directly to your clients, or we can ship them to you if you are not local.
Who owns your company or runs daily operations?
Maynard Breese. Second in charge would be Blade Breese.
What are your hours of operation?
We are open M-F 9 to 5 for calls and normal face to face. We can schedule other hours in advance.
What is the best compliment anyone can give you?
The one we get often, and one of the nicest, is "the prints look as good, or maybe even better, than the original painting!". The nicest for me personally is having an artist tell me that, "I couldn't be a full time artist if it weren't for you and the help you give to everyone in the arts community."
