Both Presidential candidates for the upcoming election were recently in the area. President Barak Obama was in the Cleveland area on Thursday, October 25, while Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan visited North Canton on Friday. In addition to these areas, the candidates made appearances and campaigned at other areas throughout Ohio.
The candidates campaigned in Ohio as many Americans are already casting their votes in over 30 states. In many states, including Ohio, voters are allowed to cast absentee ballots or go to the polls even before Election Day on Tuesday, November 6. President Obama even voted early in Chicago on Thursday, marking the first time in history that an incumbent president voted early. Both Obama and Romney encouraged voters to get out and vote early.
Election time may mean extra business for area Print companies. When candidates visit the area, especially during a Presidential election, businesses often seize the opportunity to reach out to the crowds in the area with promotions, discounts, and other sales. However, it’s not just local businesses that need extra printing services during events such as this. Campaign events and rallies also use banner printing, flyer printing, poster printing, and a variety of other printed materials.
President Obama’s campaign in Cleveland on the Thursday was the end of a 48-hour marathon. The President was scheduled to return to the Akron and Cincinnati areas on Wednesday, October 31 for a grassroots event, but his appearance was canceled so that he could remain in Washington, DC to monitor response to Hurricane Sandy.Get a Free Quote for Print
