I am quite excited to share the news that our CEO John Foley, Jr. will be speaking at the Printing Survivor event for the 2nd year in a row!

Printing Survivor 2012, which is put on by Graphic Arts Magazine, will take place on Thursday, September 20, 2012.

This town-hall style event is designed to help printers get together, share their thoughts with each other, and gain valuable insight from industry leaders.

Or, as the official website of the event states: “Attendees will get practical, workable, no BS strategies from industry leaders who have not only weathered the economic storm, but are prospering.

What John Will Discuss in his Presentation

John will be delivering a presentation entitled “Finding Success in a Multi-Channel World”.

During this presentation, John will provide an overview of how the world of marketing and communications is changing. But more importantly, he will provide strategies and revenue opportunities that printers can follow to grow their business in a multi-channel world.

John will discuss how printers can find success in areas such as:

  • Online Marketing
  • One-to-One Marketing
  • Email Marketing
  • Social Media
  • Mobile and Interactive Print (including QR Codes and mobile websites)
  • And more!

All attendees will leave John’s presentation with actionable insight and ideas that they can use to grow their business.

Additional Details

In addition to John, there are a number of other great speakers that attendees will be able to learn from.

This includes Joe Truncale of NAPL, Peter Muir of Bizucate, and Jay Mandarino of C.J. Graphics.

The Printing Survivor 2012 event will be held at the Paradise Convention Centre in Concord, ON.

I must send a note of thanks to co-workers Nolan Antonucci and Kelly O’Halloran for giving me the heads-up on this video.

If you can make it through the special effects, it’s a one-minute video that may benefit your business.

It’s a Public Service Announcement that was produced in 1995 by 5th grade students at a Montana school.

Alright, did you watch it? If so, you may be wondering how I think that could help your business.

How That Video Can Help

I think it’s fairly amazing how accurate many of the predictions they made back in 1995 actually came true.

However, I’m sure you’ll agree that many businesses heard similar predictions from other sources as well, and yet they still delayed in embracing how the internet would change the way we communicate.

In many cases, delaying as for as long as they did may have seriously harmed their business.

They may look back at this video today and feel some form of regret.

Looking At the Landscape Today

Today, many people are beating the drum for companies to further utilize online marketing strategies and tactics to grow their business.

But once again, many are delaying to move forward.

Why?

Well, for a lot of the same reasons they may have had back then. They don’t have time for it. They don’t understand it. They’re not sure how it can truly help.

Grow Socially Is Here For You

Whatever the reason may be though,  I’m happy to tell you that the team here at Grow Socially can help you to push forward.

We do not want you to look back a year from now, two years from now, etc., and regret that you didn’t start using online marketing sooner to grow your business.

We offer a wide-variety of services that can help to address whatever questions and concerns you may have, and then execute marketing efforts that will help you to achieve business objectives.

I would like to take a quick second to turn the spotlight on a company that we have had the privilege of working with.

The company is Creative Labels of Vermont (CLOV).

CLOV and Online Marketing Success

They recently wrote an inspiring blog post entitled “Creative Labels of VT celebrates 6 months of Social Media“. I loved this blog post for a number of reasons.

For one thing, I think it’s very important for companies to take the time to recognize, acknowledge, and celebrate their successes. I think it’s good for morale and it can inspire employees to continue their hard, productive work.

Also, I enjoyed it because of the fact that we were able to play a role in the process of getting Creative Labels of Vermont on that track. I send my sincere thanks to Dwane Wall for mentioning that in the blog post!

If you have a moment, please head over to their site to read the post.

Are You Feeling Inspired?

After reading the story on CLOV’s blog, you might feel motivated to put your company on the path to online marketing success.

If you are in the tag and label printing industry, then I’d like to encourage you to visit us at the Labelexpo Americas Conference from September 11th through the 13th in Chicago.

We will be exhibiting at Booth 3802.
