Survey Advantage released its Print Buyer Satisfaction Index (PBSI) for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. Top performing achieved over 86 percent loyalty, average performers 74 to 85 percent, and poor performers under 74 percent.
A study of 243 CMOs found that the large majority don’t establish their budgets with the intent to use ROI as a key metric. It would seem logical that marketers would want to prove the value of their efforts. More importantly, we can create competitive advantage by helping them to measure value.
The proliferation of emerging technologies has dictated a re-birth of the printing industry.
The printer's role prior to this digital era was to put ink on paper. The printing companies that are successful today are the ones who realize that their role is to keep an eye on technological breakthroughs and evaluate how they apply specifically to their customer base. It is no longer about just printing, but rather about selling integrated cross media solutions.
While a number of printers are trying to "get in the cross media game", this webinar is designed to share with you what is working and what isn't.
Key concepts that will be explored include:
- Critical resources required to successfully implement a cross media campaign
- Identifying the right decision makers
- Selling strategies for effectively delivering your value proposition
- Advice from practitioners that are evolving their business models on the opportunities and pitfalls

Certain members of Allegra Network have reached an agreement to invest in an entity that, along with executives of Signs By Tomorrow, will purchase the assets of the latter company, a 162-unit network of firms producing large-scale graphics. The management team of Signs By Tomorrow will remain intact.
Here is a surefire way to develop a budget for 2012 that will keep your ship on course. Given the uncertainty facing graphic arts firms, I suggest you develop three budget scenarios—9-percent increase, 0 percent increase and 9 percent decrease.
I just received an online order delivery that reminded me of the lost art of using customer-shipped jobs as a way to build relationships and market for additional orders. Packed inside with my order was a small pocket folder.
