June Member of the Month

By
We are excited to celebrate Seneca Blueprint Co., Inc. as our June Member of the Month!

Seneca Blueprint has been involved in the Cheektowaga Chamber of Commerce since 1954. They give the words “family business” a whole new meaning. Started in 1933 by Ella and Herbert Knight, the company is now run by their grandson and sole owner and president, Rick Knight. Knight is the third generation to own the Union Road business staple. Although blueprints and printing may be their specialty, the company services everyone from architects and engineers, to those looking to pick out the perfect shipping tube. With surveying tools and construction calculators available, Knight sees a wide variety of customers on a daily basis. This one-stop-shop has printing capabilities for businesses of any size, as banners and signage are made regularly on high end printers and machines.

As so many designers are turning to technology based programs, like CAD Software, Knight recognizes how things are changing, but that pencil to paper is never going to go away.

Knight shared, “When you hire a landscaper, they’re not going to bring a big computer on site. They are going to a have a blueprint and pencil to erase and make changes right in front of you.”

Once in a while, he’ll get a young entrepreneur come in to pick out the perfect mechanical pencil. His shop truly has high end, affordable products that you can’t find elsewhere.

Chances are, your business needs something that Seneca Blueprint can provide. Going on their 63rd year of Cheektowaga Chamber of Commerce membership, we’re proud to celebrate Seneca Blueprint!

Networking can sometimes leave a bad taste in your mouth. Even the most extroverted of professionals have settings that they just aren't comfortable with. Walking up to someone and introducing yourself out of the blue can cause some unwanted stress. Here are some tips to help you kick butt and (literally) take names at Cheektowaga Chamber Networking Events. Check things out beforehand Sometimes knowing who you're going to see and what company they represent can help! A few days before the event, ask a staff member to send you a list of confirmed attendees. If a few stick out, you can even email them beforehand to tell them you're excited to meet them.

As the weather warms up, you might get an invitation or two to spend a day networking on the golf course! This may intimidate some, but it doesn't have to. It's not always about your skill level, but building relationships and making connections. Below are some tips and hints to get the most out of your day on the links and come out on top. 1. Networking on the golf course is about getting to know people, not selling your business or product. Instead, build relationships! Learn the stories about the businesses and how the people involved got to where they are. Chances are, you'll find something you have in common that you can use as a talking point later on to stick in their memory. Cheektowaga Chamber of Commerce Chair Elect, Mike Hensley of Superior IT, said:  "I take customers out every other Friday during the summer for a lunch and golf day.  For my business specifically it is not about selling anything but more about building the relationship and loyalty, and...
