DIGIKIDS® Franchise Inspires Local Printer to Stop the Presses
In response to the more than 2,000 missing children reported in the
United States each day, DIGIKIDS®
recently unveiled its new Child Safety CD that allows parents to provide law
enforcement officials, the media, the NCMEC and other agencies with two
high-resolution digital photos along with medical and identifying
information to aid in recovery efforts.
Arlington, TX (PRWEB) May 17, 2005 – After 30 years of successful ownership
and operation of Fort Worth’s Type Case Printworks, Kent and Becky Couch
have officially stopped the presses and have launched an entirely new
business to help parents protect their children through an advanced
Child ID franchise called
DIGIKIDS®.
Having initially discovered DIGIKIDS®
while printing the DIGIKIDS® marketing materials, the Couches are very
excited about their new endeavor. “It was such an awakening to look at the
DIGIKIDS® sales promotions and realize that we could be doing something
worthy like this,” said Becky Couch. “As a former elementary school
principal, Kent was thrilled about DIGIKIDS® because it meant getting back
to his roots. We just couldn’t resist the opportunity,” she concluded.
According to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, acting
within the first 20 minutes following a disappearance is absolutely
critical. By utilizing the DIGIKIDS® business card-sized CD-ROM (easily
carried in a pocket or purse and operates in any PC with a CD-ROM drive),
parents are only moments away from distributing pre-formatted flyers and
posters – complete with high-resolution photos and last-minute details –
anywhere in the world via internet email. “The electronic delivery to law
enforcement officials of a child’s digitized photo can save crucial time,
since the chances of safely recovering a child are much greater within the
first few hours immediately following a child abduction,” says John Walsh,
founder of the NCMEC (NCMEC.org).”
Although the service is available through schools, preschools, churches and
summer camps, DIGIKIDS® ability to produce the Child ID kits on site in 2
minutes or less affords a perfect opportunity for any local business wishing
to sponsor a DIGIKIDS® safety event as a means of giving back to the local
community or its employees. “At $15.95, the program is affordable enough for
every parent to have, but we also are committed to giving contributions back
to schools and other non-profit sponsors for every kit we sell,” states
co-owner Kent Couch. The Couch’s territory encompasses eastern Tarrant and
Denton County.
