Customers can access the services direct from their own computer with our Direct Link FTP service.
The final piece of Spiller’s new retail space is the art supply store. According to retail manager Eric Ladd, the art supply business is continuing to grow. “”We see a diversity of people shopping for art supplies, from students to hobbyists to professionals,”” says Ladd. “”The best part of the art supply business is the involvement it provides Spiller’s in the local community, as we continue to support numerous art-related community programs.”” In addition to art show sponsorships, Spiller’s does offer all art students a 20 percent discount on art supplies in their retail store.
“”Overall, being more involved in the community is what it’s really all about.”” adds Martel. “”For me, as a local business owner, I look to do business with other locally owned operations. It’s important that we all support our local economy.””
