Fantastic service and great quality!…read more I had a last minute request for a quick special design of our company business cards and needed them done ASAP. The order was for a special event coming up and 150 of these special cards were needed in less than a few days. I handled the redesign and needed a fast printer who could deliver 150 cards in 24 hours for an affordable price, otherwise I'd be explaining to accounting why I was expensing so much on business cards when we just went through a resupply less than a month ago. Impressive was nothing short of their namesake. After checking with a few others in town, I couldn't find a decent price that came close to our usual print partners headquartered out near Caledon (they would have taken a bit longer and usually only handle much larger orders to restock us for a year's worth of business cards, stationary, etc). Thinking my only solution was going to have me bite the bullet and write a letter to accounting along with a full expense report I was ready to give up. I won't list all the prices or competitors, but on the high side one printer quoted me shy of $170. Kevin at Impressive took the time to show me what weight paper we could use as well as printed up a few samples to show color reproduction. His quote was also VERY agreeable. As the company I work for is in the midst of voting for a rebranding, that also means changing our printing partners. Kevin and all those at Impressive will definitely be brought up by me at our next meeting and even if that falls through, they have my personal business for life. Go on, swing into Impressive to take a look, it'll be well worth it.

Front receptionist represents their brand perfectly - she is neighbourly as stated in the "About…read moreUs" page on their website. The graphic designer not so much, she has an edge to her, almost rude. Maybe she was having a bad day? but that's no excuse. I'm not questioning her design ability, but sometimes there are employees best suited not to deal with clients directly. She needs more training in caring and consultative sales approaches.Customers do not like feeling they are being "Schooled" in an arrogant manner. I don't doubt their quality of printing as what I witnessed from this small company is good but this print shop has to be one of the more expensive places in Hamilton. I got 3 quotes for the identical job. I placed my order with a printer on Lansing Drive Hamilton on the mountain. Yes this printer does small and large format signs. Not only did I pay almost HALF of what I was quoted, by Impressive they also did my design service as I was in a rush. I got same day delivery too!

I have been here many times in the past year. The store is divided into 3 sections/areas (arts and…read morecrafts, equipment (like drawing tools, different kinds of paper and paint) and framing). The people working there are very nice. It's appearance on the inside can give a little bit of sensory overload (in terms of the colors in different areas in the store). However, they carry varying amounts of supplies so you might have to go online to buy them if items are not available in store. BTW 1) They have a point card where you could get 10% off each time you purchase something and collect the amount you paid (ex. Pay $15 = 15 points). 2) When you are shopping online, you will get free shipping if you buy things that add up to $39 or more.

My absolute favourite art supplies store of all time. First of all, the staff are amazing. They've…read morebeen consistently helpful and friendly since I started going there in 2002. Obviously a change in staff, but the manager has been around for a long time and a couple staff members had stayed and have been amazing and funny! Seriously, I used to just hang out here as a kid because it's an art store, I'm an artist and the staff is great. It's a very clean store. They always have what I need and things I didn't know I needed. The prices are far superior to Michael's and better than Curry's. Plus the discounts are great and the rewards program is solid too. Oh and did I mention it's animal friendly? I can take my dog for walks in Petsmart and Deserres, Oh and also the customer bathroom is pretty cool. And free bags, who needs to pay a nickel for a bag? All in all, it's a great store. One of my favourite hangout spots, I can test my markers and pencils and all that and talk to awesome staff.

A Staples with a similar layout to the rest. We came here looking for office chairs. They had a big…read moresection at the back with chairs out of the box for you to sit in and try out. They had them organized in different sections like modern, ergonomic, comfort, etc. They do have a wide range of chairs from gaming ones, executive boardroom, to ones that are more for style than practicality. They didn't have every single chair they had on the shelf available for you to try unfortunately. They also had a weird wall of chairs that were Hollywood Squares style so there was no chance of getting up close to them lol. Still was an okay shopping experience. There was lots of space to browse and the staff let us take our time with it.

This location has their good and their bad for sure…read more The good: their staff is always friendly and helpful and they always have everything I'm looking for. The staff have even suggested more affordable items which I found to be very honest and nice. The bad: it is difficult to find a staff member. There doesn't seem to be enough of them on the floor and rarely is their more than one cash open which makes for long lineups. I'll continue to shop at this location because it is clean and easy to navigate.

If you're into well curated,eclectic and quality "stuff,"then this is the place to go. Owner and staff are knowledgeable and super helpful and everyone is made to feel welcome. Stock is continually expanding and although a simple browse is fascinating, I find that leaving empty handed is impossible. My fave retreat when I have cabin fever and need inspiration. Try it.. you'll be hooked!
