Fast-Track Firms : Success Amid the Mess

Some of the astounding 32 percent growth can be attributed to PrintPlace.com taking share away from the more traditional procurement outlets, notes Shawn Petersen, president and CEO.

"As new print buyers have entered the industry, they have become more conditioned to look online for needed products and services," he says. "For a professional print buyer, the focus has shifted to estimating, ordering and proofing online. PrintPlace has continued year-over-year growth because we marry ease of ordering and job management with complete dependability by guaranteeing quality, turnaround and pricing."
