The Print Report: John Beadel on Keeping Clients on Board During the Pandemic
Most of us have had that sinking, pandemic-related "OMG" moment in relation to our business this year. For John Beadel, President at Associated Printing Productions Inc. (APPi), that moment came sooner than most.
John’s business primarily serves the cruise line and leisure industries. If you think back to what feels like a decade ago, in February news of COVID-infected cruise ships out at seas and being denied permission to port dominated headlines and pretty much stopped everything at APPi. So, what do you do in that situation? Go down with the ship or find a way to stay afloat, literally.
In this episode of The Print Report, John talks to Pat and I about how he created an opportunity to keep his clients on board, and help the industry in the process by offering an antimicrobial coating to protect printed products.
Listen Long and Prosper!
