SOLUTIONS: Jamal Moore, owner and CEO of Moore’s Office Solutions, offers design and printing options for businesses, churches and other organizations in the community.

 

A new print media company in the area offers local businesses, churches, individuals and other organizations a one-stop shop for all design, printing and publishing needs.

Twenty-two-year-old Jamal Moore, owner and CEO of Moore’s Office Solutions, got his start as an administrative assistant in his church, Harvest Time Evangelistic Outreach in Chocowinity, he said. Moore, a Washington High School Alumnus, was tasked with creating and designing flyers, business cards, bulletins and calendars for the church. From his employment with the church and his pursuits through schooling at Pitt County Community College and seminars, Moore’s passion grew, he said.

Moore also received guidance from his mentor, Mark Schiller, who is affiliated with SCORE, a local organization that provides free and confidential mentoring and expert resources to small business owners and entrepreneurs as they start and grow their business, Moore said. Schiller gave Moore the tools to launch his business: helping him write a business plan and giving him the knowledge needed to do so, according to Moore.

“I don’t want people to think I did this on my own,” Moore said. “I decided the Lord was leading me to start my own business and I had an excellent mentor, Mr. Mark Schiller. He helped me write my business plan and helped me understand a lot of stuff I didn’t know about regarding business. God just opened the doors, and it was able to happen.”

Moore plans to expand his business through investments or a business loan, enabling him to open a storefront or building, he said. From there, he hopes to branch out and set up multiple locations in Beaufort County and the surrounding area.

Moore’s Office Solutions prides itself on customer service, Moore said. Customers receive one-on-one service, in which Moore, who does the entire layout and design from scratch, gets a feel for customer needs. Moore specializes in creative designs, and is capable of producing business cards, flyers, brochures, newsletters, church bulletins, programs, letterhead, postcards, invitations, email blast and more, he said.

“To me, it’s all about customer service,” Moore said. “Here, we sit down with you, talk with you and hear what you want, and then we go through the design process with you. We get a feel for the customer’s wants and needs and we give them the best service we can offer them.”

Moore said he also works with other printers in the area — if a customer wishes to use a printer they normally work with.

“I have a lot of good relationships with people and I have no problem working together to get the job done,” Moore said.

Moore’s Office Solutions is located at 1550 West 5th St in Suite 12 of the Coastal Insurance Building. To contact Jamal Moore at Moore’s Office Solutions, call 252-414-5874 or email at mooresofficesolutions@gmail.com.
