Meet GINA ALTOSINO | Owner of Dot Graphics, a print and promotional marketing company.

We had the good fortune of connecting with GINA ALTOSINO and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi GINA, what do you attribute your success to?
The most important factor behind my success and the success of our brand is adaptability. Change in every aspect of your business and personal growith is inevitable.
Always focus forward.

How you adapt to change is how you and your business sustains and grows.
Don’t ever be comfortable where you are, there is always something to strive for and adapt to.

We have been in the printing business for over 25 years, 5 years we added promotional products to up our game.
We knew wearing your logo and gifting your employees or customers with branded products would takes us to the next level of success.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Over 26 years in business, we have seen a lot of change. In order to stay in the game, you have to adapt to technology changes, educate yourself with current trends, and most of all listen to your customers. It wasn’t easy, there were great years and not so great years but we always picked each other up and keep moving forward. We expanded our family business to the Valley when we moved here 5 years ago. We didn’t know anyone and no one knew Dot Graphics. I reached out to our real estate agent, Jessica Lewis Ahl, and she introduced me to networking. I dove into networking, meeting other like minded business women and built relationships. I belong to a few different networking groups and remain loyal to all. I support my networking partners as much as possible, give back to the community and build trust. We added promomotional products and apparel to our brand 4 years ago and it has provided us opportunties expand to new markets. We are so thankful and grateful for where we came from and where we are today.                                                                                     As technology has progressed, digital marketing and social media have exploded for brand recognition.                                                                                    Some wonder how print is still a thriving business.  Therefore, we had to pivot our services and offer additional options to prospective clients.  We now offer package and product labeling.  We are proud to partner with various Cannabis manufacturers and just finished our first wine label.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
We have been visiting the Scottdale area for over 10 years before moving here. We definitely have our favorites.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My husband, Tony had the vision to start the company after working for a printing company for 10 years. We were young, our children were babies and we had no idea how to run a company. He was in sales and my background was accounting. We did what we know best, we built a business through referrals, do what you say you will do, be honest, fair and above all else, our customers always came first. We focused on their needs and provided solutions. Over the years, our son, Anthony and daughter, Alyssa have contributed to the success of our business. They brought a fresh perspective and built our website and social media .
