Finally, because print buyers' work is directly tied to production schedules that change with the wind, it's easier for them to attend a local printer's event than fly to a different state, which extends their time out of the office considerably. Asking one's boss for a day or half-day out of the office is a lot easier than asking for multiple days.
Long regarded as a print buyer expert and trade writer, Margie Dana launched a new business as a marketing communications strategist with a specialty in printing and print buying. She is as comfortable working in social media as she is in traditional media, and now she’s on a mission to help clients build customer communities through carefully crafted content.
