This blog can be summed up in one thought: Don’t underestimate how many times print buyers will land on your website, click around for a minute, and then disappear without contacting you. It happens every day. And it’s not a bad thing. Prospects aren’t always ready to place an order yet. And that’s okay. Sometimes, they’re...
When I shared Clay’s story last month, I described him as fictional but built from real conversations with printers just like you. That’s still true. Clay’s not here to tell you what to do. He’s here to help you see what’s possible. And I’m here to walk with you as you figure out what your own AI journey might look like at your own pace, one step at a...
Ever tried to get back to the gym after months away? The first workout feels like starting from scratch. Muscles that used to feel strong are sluggish. Progress is slower. Motivation is harder to come by. Marketing works the same way. Many printers hit pause and put marketing on the back burner when things get busy, when money feels tight, or when they...
As autumn settles in with its mix of urgency and opportunity, here are several ways you can make the most of the season’s momentum. October often signals a pivot point: end-of-year planning, pre-holiday promotions, and the push to stay relevant in a busy marketplace. But not every campaign needs to be big and complex. This month’s content proves that...
Remember the childhood game of “kick the can”? It was fun, simple, and easy. You’d kick a can down the street, pushing the challenge just a little further ahead, never truly resolving it, just postponing the inevitable. But when you’re running a printing business, playing “kick the can” with your pricing strategy...
AI Didn’t Just Change My Mind, It Refocused My Mission When I first got serious about exploring AI, I looked at it through the lens I knew best: marketing. How could it help us produce better, more effective content for printers? That seemed like the right-sized question to ask. But I quickly discovered I was thinking too small. What started as a marketing...
You’ve been there: a new order comes in, the deadline is tight, and the file? Not quite ready. Whether it’s missing bleeds, fuzzy images, or font issues, file prep problems can slow everything down and create more stress than they should. The good news? You can head off most of those headaches by giving your print buyers a little help without piling more...
We’ve heard it before, and maybe you’ve even said it yourself: “I delete most of the emails I get. I don’t think email really works.” It’s an honest thought. But here’s the thing: you aren’t your print buyer. Just because email doesn’t resonate with you doesn’t mean it doesn’t work. In fact, many of your print buyers rely on email as their primary way of...
As the fall season draws closer, September brings the perfect opportunity to help your customers refocus, reconnect, and stand out. With routines resuming and back-to-business energy in the air, now is the time for printers to help clients deliver marketing that gets noticed, especially with banners that boost visibility and drive results. The September...
What makes a high-value customer say, “Yep, this is my printer”? You could have the best pricing, stellar turnaround, and years of experience, but if that trust doesn’t come across on your website, the sale might not either. And for your dream clients, the nonprofits, schools, manufacturers, and marketing teams you really want, your website is the first...
