3| Your Website should be social. Being active in social media tells me a printer is contemporary and not stuck in the past. I look for a few chiclets: for Twitter, Facebook, maybe YouTube and LinkedIn. These belong on every page, like your copyright line. You don't have to be everywhere in social media, but you should be active in a couple of them, especially if your target market hangs out there (and if your competitors already are). When I see evidence of social media, I think to myself, "This printer gets it."
