Butterflies are a symbol
of joy, color and revitalization. They are beautiful, evasive,
and at times, inspiring.
Butterflies are generally
symbols of transformation because they go through a metamorphosis.
It is a reminder to us all
to make changes when the opportunity arises. Change and transformation
are inevitable, but it does not have to be traumatic.
Like the butterfly, a business
must continually grow and evolve to stay competitive and be
successful. Our hope is that when that time comes, you will
look to Innovative Graphics.

Renee's marketing
concept for the YWCA's first ever Celebrity Pie Auction
was brilliant. She worked up a design from nothing more than
a name, and her creativity furnished us with a recognizable
logo, postcards and posters that were attractive, graphically
appealing, and functional. We can use this logo for our future
pie auctions. We thank her for her generosity and willingness
to help the YWCA—Renee is truly a graphics maverick!

We LOVE
Renee! Our organization, the La Crosse Symphony
Orchestra, was in need of a graphic designer for
our Annual Valentine Ball fundraiser and after
working with her on that project, we decided to
have her design our Concert Season Brochure &
Program. She brought a fresh new look to our brochure
and program and she is the easiest person to work
with! She is completely dedicated to her profession
and great at what she does. We use her for everything
now! I don't know what we would do without her
- we feel like she is a part of our organization.

As an
IT contracting business focusing on small business,
I knew I needed to have a company logo, business
cards and marketing materials that looked professional
and attractive to potential clients. I hired Innovative
Graphics to help me complete this project. After
our initial meeting, I knew I made the right choice
to go with Innovative Graphics. Renee was a pleasure
to work with; she listened to my ideas and my
vision and applied it to my logo design. She really
listened to my input and incorporated it into
my marketing materials. Not to mention the turn
around time was great. Renee was wonderful to
work with and I am anxious to work with her on
my next project. Not only did I get excellent
marketing materials, I established a great business
relationship.

Renee Chrz of Innovative
Graphics is the ultimate professional. When asked
to redesign our organization's logo and re-brand
our look, she was awesome! Not only did she bring
us several new logos to look at, she showed us
how they would be used to brand our new organization
and create excitement. I'm sure our success in
launching our new organization in La Crosse is
due to Renee's desire to do the best work for
her client. We are very happy with our logo, invitation,
brochure, business card and stationary design.

I
enjoyed working with Renee from Innovative Graphics!
I had a simple idea and Renee helped me implement
and execute that idea. She brought my ideas to
life with her expertise and creativeness. It makes
the marketing aspect of my business a lot more
exciting!

Renee
is an absolute pleasure to work with. She is very
personable, courteous, professional and a lot
of fun! She has impeccable creativity and design
skills and is very well respected within the real
estate community. Renee is very talented and I
wish her all the best with her new venture. There
is no doubt in my mind that she will be very successful!

Renee is a pleasure to work with. She is efficient,
responsive and imaginative and has a solid work
ethic. I am confident that when I see a piece
she has designed that I will be extremely pleased!

I have been a Realtor for 24 years at the same
company. We have had several marketing directors,
but they only lasted a couple of years each due
to the demands of the Realtors and the requested
short turn around times. Renee had not only stayed
for several years (12 yrs), been flexible and
patient with our minute to minute demands, but
created outstanding marketing pieces every single
day. I believe that our company continued to lead
in company reputation and sales because of the
dedication to perfection and creativity that Renee
displayed. Somehow, she has been able to manage
the day to day tasks and still be reactive and
proactive in a fast paced environment. The light
in her office burns many nights after everyone
else has gone home, so that the rest of us look
good the next day.
In our current slower market, I am attempting
to sell an expensive and unique home. The sellers
would only sign a 90 day contract, but were willing
to extend it based on performance. Renee produced
an over the top brochure for me that totally impressed
the sellers and their friends. Being sophisticated
business owners themselves, they expect more than
the average. The creativity, design and professional
quality of this marketing piece was definitely
the impetus that convinced them to extend my contract.
This is not an isolated occasion. Everyone in
our office could relate many, many similar incidents.

Renee's
natural talent is evident in everything she creates.
Her unique perspective and determination to create
something that will please you is amazing. I am
proud to have had the opportunity to collaborate
on projects in the past and look forward to working
with her on future endeavors.

Renee's
marketing pieces continue to amaze me! Rather
than re-invent the wheel, Renee creates the wheel
with her marketing ideas and sets the bar for
real estate marketing in the La Crosse area.
Her marketing creations, give the buyers a visual
experience of the house. Sellers are thrilled
and buyers walk away with a printed tour of the
house. At a recent closing on one of my listings,
the buyer requested more brochures of her historic
home purchase to send to her out of town siblings.
The buyer's agent, who owns her own real estate
company, went so far as to call Renee a marketing
genius! Renee always strives to listen to my needs
and then creates above and beyond my requests.
Her work is professional, fresh, and goes above
and beyond my expectations. Her marketing pieces
help me to stand out above the competition and
have clinched numerous listings for me.
Much of my real estate success as Gerrard-Hoeschler's
Top Residential producer for 2004, 2005 and 2006
is a direct result of Renee's marketing efforts.
I truly couldn't do it without her!

I
have supplied printed material to Renee for over
10 years. Her experience and understanding of
printing/graphic arts has been an asset for her
clients and vendors. The design of her magazines
and brochures always fit her client with no problems
for the printer to produce. Renee is a pleasure
to work with and creates a great working relationship
with all parties involved.
Jason Lund,

I
have been in the real estate business for 7 years,
with 2 different companies. One of the main reasons
I decided to make the move, was because of the
superior marketing program they offered. Renee
not only hears what we want, but actually listens
to us. She produces high quality marketing pieces,
which in turn makes us look the best in the eyes
of our clients. She is able to grasp our thoughts
and produce unbelievable results. As an agent,
being in real estate is hectic, and Renee has
handled working with 40+ agents and is still able
to produce extremely creative pieces under this
pressure. Renee's marketing pieces have been a
vital part of my success.
