Gravity is the force by which a planet or other body draws objects toward its center. Every body in the solar system exerts a force on those around it, with Jupiter wielding the strongest pull and the moon exerting one of the weakest. Even your own physical body exerts a gravitational influence on the things around you (though this force is negligible due to how tiny you are compared to the planets!). If you’ve ever slipped off a ladder or tumbled from a tree, you know Earth’s gravity is basically unstoppable. So, here’s a question. What if your business could exert gravitational force on potential leads and soon-to-be customers? Wouldn’t you want to flip this power switch to the ‘ON’ setting? Wouldn’t you want to do this as soon as possible?

As a print company owner, you know the importance of branding. It helps your business stand out in a crowded market and creates a lasting impression on potential customers. However, as time goes by, it’s possible for your branding to become stale or outdated. This can have a negative impact on your business and hinder its growth. If you are starting to question the effectiveness of your print company’s branding, it may be time for a refresh. Here are 12 questions you should ask yourself to determine if your branding needs an update, along with potential solutions: 1. Is my brand message still relevant to my print buyers? Your brand message should resonate with your target audience and reflect your company’s values. If you feel your message is no longer connecting with your target print buyers, it may be time to re-evaluate and update it. This could involve conducting market research, analyzing competitors’ messaging, and seeking feedback from current customers. 2. Does my branding accurately represent my printing company? As a print company owner, your brand should accurately represent your products and services. If you have expanded your offerings or changed your focus, ensuring that your branding still aligns with these

Have you ever felt like you can’t do everything on your own? Or maybe you’ve wondered if your team is working as efficiently as possible. Of course, you have! Whether your team is small or large, it has the potential to accomplish much more collectively than you could alone. If you’re leading a team, you might be familiar with various personality assessments like DISC, Kolbe, Myers-Briggs, Enneagram, and CliftonStrengths (formally known as StrengthsFinder). In my experience, these assessments don’t always provide the substantial team productivity boost you were hoping for or answer the question, “How does this help me sell more printing?” But don’t worry; there’s a new tool that might just change the game for you: the Working Genius. The Working Genius Model The Working Genius model was created by Pat Lencioni. If you’re not familiar with Pat Lencioni, he’s written classic leadership books such as The Five Dysfunctions of a Team and Death by Meeting. Lencioni has an amazing way of revealing business truths in an entertaining and accessible format, and he’s done that with his latest book, The 6 Types of Working Genius. The Working Genius model stands apart from other personality assessments and tools by helping

Reaching out to your print buyers via email is essential to growing your business. But here’s the thing: sending out an email and sitting back, hoping for business to flood in, just won’t cut it. Love it or hate it, post-email follow-up is essential to ensure your marketing efforts bear fruit. 9 Considerations for Follow-Up When Sending Emails to Your Print Buyers 1. Patience is a Virtue First things first, patience is vital. While it’s tempting to expect an immediate response after hitting the send button, the reality is that it often takes time for print buyers to act on your email. Takeaway: Give them some breathing room, and don’t rush the follow-up process. 2. Timing is Everything When you do decide to follow up, timing is crucial. Sending a follow-up email too soon can come across as pushy, while waiting too long might make your print buyers forget about your initial message. Takeaway: Aim to follow up within a week or so, striking that perfect balance. 3. Personalization is Your Superpower Nothing catches attention like a personalized message. Instead of sending a generic follow-up email, mention specifics from your previous communication, such as a project you discussed or a
