Why printing? The ways Prisma Graphic can help your company prosper.
Why printing? The ways printing helps your company prosper.
At one time or another we all have taken printing for granted. Perhaps because print has been the world’s number one communication medium for so long, we tend to overlook its impact and power. That oversight could be detrimental to the success of a marketing campaign, a product launch or a branding initiative trying to make connections. Consumers trust print, feel comfortable using it and are unable to fast forward past it. Electronic content comes and goes and when it’s gone, your message disappears with it. Print, on the other hand, is there for the long run.
According to a recent survey by the Magazine Publishers of America 24% of readers will pass along an interesting article to someone else, 23% will save it for future reference and 13% will visit a relevant website; giving advertisers double and triple bonuses on their marketing investments.
This magazine is dedicated to the persuasive power of print and how it continues to evolve and play an important role in the marketing mix. Along with several informative articles throughout, we have included the advantages of using print. We hope you find this blog informative, inspiring and ultimately beneficial to your marketing efforts.
Sincerely,
Solution-Based Printing and Marketing Partner
Prisma Graphic Corp. When you are searching for a solutions-based partner, look no further than the Phoenix-based commercial printer, Prisma Graphic Corp. Prisma proves to be more than just a print vendor on a daily basis, by exceeding its client’s marketing needs from their 82,000-square-foot facility. Prisma provides pre-press, remote proofing, digital and one-to-one marketing products, a unique web-to-print solution (dokshop.com), sheet-fed and web printing, a complete bindery, a full-service fulfillment department, in-house mailing services and a secure warehouse area.
“I think our people have been the key to the success of this company,” says President Bob Anderson. “They’re innovative, they’re customer driven and they care.” When Anderson bought Prisma in 2000 it was a small, boutique print shop, struggling to keep the doors open. Seven years later, it has become a $23 million business. “Naturally, with this kind growth, I am very proud of our people and the work we produce.”
The shop’s 115 employees work in one of the hippest and most efficient shops around town, not to mention one of the greenest. Prisma was Arizona’s first, privately owned, web and sheetfed printer to become certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). FSC certification promotes a chain of custody that ensures good forest management and overall sustainability. Prisma’s internal philosophy of “lean manufacturing” eliminates waste and improves the efficiency of value-added activities that maximize their customers’ satisfaction and ultimately their budgets.
“Clients are trying to narrow down their vendors to a select few who understand their needs,” Anderson says. “They’re looking for print partners that can advance their overall marketing efforts, which is why we consider our company more of an information handler.” Prisma has solutions for short- and long-run projects, has the ability to handle thousands of online orders a month, can provide website analytics, offers data collecting and usability and can produce personal URL direct mailers, just to name a few.
Contact anyone at Prisma, or better yet their president, if you are ready for a solutions-based partner. “I’m a working president,” says Bob Anderson. “I’m always out visiting with customers to help in their success. I can’t imagine doing anything else.”
