Greg German Continued
Our professional print finishing equipment, Go-To-Market-Strategy, has always been through the graphic arts, print-finishing dealer channel. Today, however, we have a sizeable portion of our sales going through the office products channel, products such as folders, paper punches, letter openers, and creasers. These are sold to corporate offices of all sizes. When I became president in October of 2009, I recognized one thing, the Most Productive Dealers Were Those Who Took Their Partnership With Martin Yale and With Their Customers As A Lifeline To Success. For that reason we are determined to make great strides in three areas: Quality-(Warranty claims are less than 1.5%), Deliveries-we now ship 98% of all orders in one day, and Introducing New Products- (Dealers want to break into new markets and the recent Count Machinery acquisition does that).
Martin Yale’s U.S. based manufacturing facility and inventory, allow our dealers a unique advantage over their competition. And, with an experienced team of both inside and outside salesmen and a crew of customer service reps, our dealers know that they can tap into expertise required when servicing their customers. Martin Yale’s team is by far the best in the industry. 76 years of dealer-partnerships is proof. At times I’m asked why we advertise and use the marketing services provided by Dealer Communicator. In short---we know that dealership people need reminders, and because we know that we now can deliver ongoing messages to increase our worth to our dealership business partners. BIO: Greg German has been the President of Martin Yale since 2009. He also served in the capacity of Vice President of Marketing and Commercial Sales after joining the Company in 2006. Mr. German holds a BS in Accounting from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio and an MBA from Butler University.

Computer to Plate – Change is Good! Editors Note:
Dealers need to see CtP as a sales opportunity. Printers are retooling their offset presses for faster makereadies as a means of offering competitive pricing against digital short runs. Cameraman, Stripper, Platemaker, scanner operator and Dot Etcher were jobs that made up a prepress department not that many years ago. Now these jobs are gone, along with the film that dominated the flow from art board to finished plates. The prepress industry today
is a filmless, software managed workflow. Sometimes it is important to look at past history to see the future. 1980’s <> printing industry starts down another technological Continued On Next Page

path, fueled by the growing use of computers which changed the world of typesetting. Scitex and Crossfield color editing equipment enter the workplace. 1990’s <> Imposition software like Impostrip that led to larger format imagesetters leading to Computer to Plate (CtP) platesetters. <> Heidelberg Quick Master DI press introduced using filmless plates. And while this workflow did not completely take hold it did start a round of CtP developments by all the manufacturers of filmsetters and a secondary range of companies to the point that at a Drupa in the early 1990’s there were more CtP manufacturers than systems sold at that point in time. 2000’s <> As we reached the year 2000 film was almost gone. At this point graphic arts dealers began to realize that their film sales were quickly diminishing and would not come back.
so what did the wise dealers do? The wise dealers began to invest in prepress workflows: computers, hardware, digital proofing plus color management and imposition software now bundled into a prepress to plate workflow system. Today, we are seeing the next shift in CtP technology. As pressures from digital printing are realized with shorter print runs, offset printers are looking to eliminate any delays in plate production resulting in quick makereadies and consistent print quality. Plates have also improved with sharper dots, longer runs and influenced by the “green” movement are being made with chemistry-free and almost processless resulting in faster output with no toxic residues that affect the environment. 2016 <> As we get into the Drupa season, there are many announcements promising better technologies in all aspects of printing production. Of particular interest to dealers are these advancements in CtP equipment and plate technologies from ECRM-Cron, AGFA, and Kodak. Don’t overlook other technologies.

OFFSET IS NOT DEAD VISIT YOUR OFFSET CUSTOMERS. The endless publicity by digital press manufacturers tells the industry that offset is dead. What the business-wise offset printers are realizing, however, is that
investments into their existing presses for faster makereadies are achievable through plate loaders, blanket washers, highly intelligent controllers making offset very competitive and far more flexible in running a wide range of substrates than the digital presses can do. Dealer Communicator (DC) sees opportunities in revisiting your offset customers. Think of ways to help them to upgrade their platemaking operations, help them to reduce the negative impact on the environment. It is up to you – graphic arts dealers – to show the benefits and cost effectiveness of making a change in CtP equipment and plates where needed. In the platemaking business – Change is Good! DC

Although printing with wood blocks has deeper roots in the Far East, Johannes Gutenberg developed “reusable movable type, the basic principle that was used well into the 20th century. The invention of movable type allowed Gutenberg to print the first historic 42-line Bible in 1455. This was the first Western massproduced book, also known as the Gutenberg Bible. Letterpress printing became the method of choice, and for the next four hundred years continued to evolve until the introduction of the linotype machine in the late 19th century. Linotype machines soon replaced letterpress as the primary printing method. Letterpress printing today is thriving with a great number of individuals personally dedicated to the preservation of this historic art-form. Visit some of the links and you can see some of the important people maintaining this art-from, hopefully for generations or even centuries to come!

SALES CORNER Breaking The Golden Rule By John Tschohl The well known Golden Rule… ”treat others as you would like to be treated”, sounds like an easy goal, but how true is it? How often do we complain about the way we are treated, but the very next day we are being trite and short with others? Normally, this wouldn’t be so bad; we all have our good days and bad days. Our families and friends know the “true us”, so we are often forgiven. But what if the service sector was our job? What if our first impression was our last? What if our disposition caused a future customer to walk away to a competitor? Given this scenario, it’s not so easy to chalk up our behavior to a “bad day”. Unfortunately, every day employees in every capacity, make a choice NOT to treat others the same way they would like to be treated and their
choice not only impacts their job but the company’s bottom line. According to John Tschohl, author of Achieving Excellence Through Customer Service (10th Edition, Revised 2014), “ The entire service process lasts less than three minutes.” Tschohl says, “Bad service is seen by many consumers as a personal insult. They become angry, depressed, or insecure when sales people ignore them, snap at them or hurry to get rid of them. They are offended when salespeople haven’t considered their customers important enough for them to learn the answers to common questions about the merchandise or service they sell.” Here are some guidelines to follow if your job entails oneon-one communication with a customer/client…

SALES CORNER continued
• KNOW YOUR JOB! Tschohl says, “The more you know about your company, the better equipped you are to solve problems and innovate. Strive to learn as much as you can about your company.” If there is a question you don’t have the answer to…DON’T MAKE ONE UP AND NEVER EVER SAY “I don’t know”, and do nothing to find the answer. If you don’t know the answer, seek out a manger and ask him/her. A great thing to say to a customer is “I don’t have the answer, but I love learning so I will find that out for you and we will both have the answer. Thank you for asking!”. • LEAVE YOUR PROBLEMS AT HOME. This can be difficult, especially if something serious is going on in the background. If you are having a particularly bad day, try your hardest to put the problem out of your mind and use your job as an escape from the problem, a kind of breather. Fake a smile.
• Create a new Golden Rule. Forget the old saying…treat others as you would like to be treated. How about…”Treat others BETTER than you have ever been treated”.Go beyond where anyone else has ever been! • Think of your own pet peeves. What drives you crazy? What gets on your nerves? Think about it then…DON’T do it. Take your pet peeves and turn them into a list of things you will never do. This can be a powerful tool. • Try turning your job into a game. Ask yourself how many people you can get to walk away with a smile in a day? How many people can you help today? These little tools can take the monotony out of an everyday job! On your next day on the job… remember that!

5 SEO (Search
Engine Optimization)
Trends To Consider
by John Foley, Jr. Even in 2016, SEO is as important as it has ever been. With that in mind, make sure you properly prepare for five of the top current SEO trends. Importance of MobileFriendly Content With most of the business world owning a smartphone, having a responsive website plays a key role in successfully marketing your business. By providing mobile-friendly content, it creates a user-friendly experience, making information easily available to any consumer trying to access your site. Display of Content in Search Results With Google being the number one search engine in the world, your business needs to make
sure its content displays properly when searched. Keep in mind keywords, titles, and descriptions to make sure your content appears accurately and directs your audience to your site. Increasing Need for Personalization With search engines becoming more knowledgeable, the need for personalizing your content is increasing. Make sure you’re segmenting content for your specific audiences so your content will appear in targeted searches. Select a target market, and reach out to them by using keywords directed at that audience and promoting your value proposition. Website Security and Errors Making sure your site is secure with no errors will give you an extra advantage with search engines. By taking advantage of all the data that Google Webmaster Tools and Google Analytics have to offer, it will help you avoid security problems and other website errors while

increasing the experience of the viewer. Social Media Integration While not a completely new trend, social media is continually growing. If your business doesn’t have a strong presence on social media, potential clients will have a difficult time finding you. Make sure your company has a notable presence on the major social media sites. While many of these may seem basic, maximizing SEO for your website does take time and effort,
but if handled correctly, it will be worth it for the overall success of your organization. DC About John Foley, Jr. John Foley, Jr. is the CEO of interlinkONE.

DEALERS . . . Educate Your Customers And Build Relationships That Last! by Bob Licari, BrainSell Services Customer loyalty is hard to replace once established between vendor and customer. It takes effort and patience from both parties to create this beneficial relationship. Don’t forget its importance to the long term survival of your dealership. There are many ways to establish this relationship with your customers; we have talked about some of these ways in past Dealer Communicator articles. For this month we will talk about education and its value in establishing long term customer loyalty. In our business the United States Postal Service plays a big part in setting the regulations which dictate the types of equipment that will be needed for mail processing and attaining desirable postage discounts. The USPS requirements on accuracy and other factors can bring commonly used equipment
to extinction over night. So lessons have been learned to stay up on what’s going on at the Post Office. You must be educated in matters that are critical in your industry, just as your customers need to be. Creating an educational outlet for your customers to keep up on postal procedures and other pertinent facts relating to regulation changes and needto-know postal information will keep your customers and potential new customers focused on your dealership as the provider of the knowledge. You will also see that when new requirements arise, your dealership will be there to make the new sale or upgrade on existing equipment before anyone else. Maintaining accurate opted-in email databases of your customers and prospects will give you an effective vehicle to combine with a well designed and consistent

direct mail program. Your email and direct mail campaigns should not always be 100% sales. Part should be dedicated to keeping your customers and prospects current with today’s mailing requirements and procedures. In this way your dealership will be sought out as the authority when it comes time for them to buy. You should utilize people’s thirst for knowledge in part to build that connection. Being in the position as the educator will allow you to promote your products with greater authority to your buyers. In many cases the customer may already have been sold on new system upgrades because of the information you have provided to them. Well educated customers will also more often provide your sales person with the opportunity for the sought after “One Shot Close” to a deal they did not expect to come in. DC

advisory services, and events for the information technology, telecommunications and consumer technology markets breaks out the large format printer market by ink and toner technology and there were over 77,000 large format printers sold in North America in 2015 across all of the technology segments. Toner-Based Printers. Today, toner-based printers make up about 5% of the large format printers shipped. Tonerbased large format printers are primarily used in the technical document printing market, where architectural, engineering, and construction (AEC) as well as Transportation, Utilities, and Communications (TUC), educational institutions and government agencies use them for printing technical documents such as building plans, schematics, and renderings. This segment, which is dominated by
monochrome printers, has seen some excitement with the recent introduction of the low-priced 800-series color toner printers from KIP. These printers are growing at a double-digit rate over the past couple of quarters which is really something in the toner-based segment which has been flat or declining over the past couple of years as it is facing additional competition from another segment: Aqueous Inkjet Printers. Aqueous Inkjet Printers Tried and true aqueous inkjet printers make up over 80% of large format printer shipments in North America, with the vast majority of those also designed and sold into the technical segment. Not only does HP dominate the technical inkjet segment with its DesignJet printers, last year HP launched the PageWide XL-series of single-pass large format printers designed to compete with the fastest toner-based printers for production technical document printing environments.

Graphics Printers Graphics printers make up about 1/3rd of the total large format printer shipments in North America, but the graphics side is more fragmented.

Eco-solvent injet makes up almost 7% of the total market. 2016 will be an interesting year in eco-solvent with the recent introduction of new models from market leader Roland DGA, based on new print head technology as well as the launch of new models from Epson, Mimaki, and Mutoh.

UV-curable inkjet printer market. A lot of UV-curable inkjet printers are so big and expensive that they are sold through direct sales, but equipment dealers seeking growth markets should know there is a burgeoning lowend UV-curable inkjet segment where companies like Roland, Mimaki and Mutoh are selling a lot of small flatbed UV-curable inkjet printers into the signage and graphics segment. Dye-sublimation inkjet printers Finally, based on growing demand for textile-based prints, there is a growing demand for wide format dye-sublimation inkjet printers. Dye-sublimation has always been a bit of an esoteric market, (intended for or likely to be understood by only a small number of people with a specialized knowledge or interest). Equipment
manufacturers, notably Epson, Mimaki, Mutoh and Roland have driven down the cost of the equipment even as they’ve made it easier to use which has expanded the number of large format shops willing to give dye-sublimation a try. Here again is another opportunity for distributors. There is a lot happening in large format, which is still a growth market and still a profitable market. In the end, the technology improvements these manufacturers are making to this variety of equipment makes large format an exciting market for equipment dealers.
