June 2018

thINK 2018 will be here before you know it. This year, we’ll have more than 20 sessions with something for everyone – whether you’re working in commercial print, transactional, direct mail, publishing, or in-plant. New this year are hands-on workshops in a longer 1½ -hour format for deep dives into paper, color management, workflow, sales, or marketing.

Here’s a sneak peek at some of the sessions you can expect across the three tracks: Inkjet Innovations, Workflow Innovations, and Innovate for Page & Revenue Growth.

Back in 2009, we bought our first inkjet press – and boy have we learned a lot since then. Our transition to inkjet started with our company leadership. Taylor Corporation is always looking to be in front of emerging technology. Moving away from warehousing customer collateral was also a significant factor. 

Whether you (or your clients) are marketing your products and services to Baby Boomers, Gen-Xers, Millennials, or Generation Z, understanding customers’ channel preferences and behaviors is key to success. Generational preferences about e-mail vs. direct mail, online engagement, mobile usage, and general buying habits should be at the core of all marketing communication strategies. Here’s a quick breakdown to help you navigate the communication landscape across the generational divides.
