Design Tools Monthly Archives - Marketing, content, & technology to help printers sell more printing

As you may recall, the publication of Design Tools Monthly has ended. We’ve now begun the phase-out process, and recently added a message to the Design Tools Monthly section of the website to notify your customers that it is drawing to a close: We’d like to think Design Tools Monthly could go on forever, but unfortunately it has reached the end of its run and is no longer in publication. We hope you enjoyed this newsletter as much as we enjoyed providing it for you! At the end of this year, we’ll be removing all entry points to the Design Tools Monthly product. We’ll be keeping the issues live indefinitely, so anybody that may have bookmarked them will still be able to access them, but no new visitors will be able to reach them.

Out With The Old… It may be cliche, but it’s true all the same: all good things must come to an end. Our good friend Jay Nelson, publisher of Design Tools Monthly, has announced that after 21 years of producing the Design Tools Monthly newsletter he will now be taking an extended vacation. He’s definitely earned it, but we’ll be sorry to see it go. An online subscription to Design Tools Monthly was available as an add-on to Websites For Printers Level 2 websites, and bundled into Level 3 websites. So, where do we go from here? For the time being, we do not have a replacement for the Design Tools Monthly newsletter. (We tend to think that Jay is irreplaceable!) The existing issues that are currently on your site will remain there in the near term. But they’ll start aging pretty quickly since they do such a good job of providing current news, so we plan to remove them at the end of the year. …In With The New While we’re sad to see Design Tools Monthly drawing to a close, we are happy to showcase the recent release of an exciting new feature: Private Label Websites.
