interlinkONE and Grow Socially CEO John Foley, Jr. delivered this presentation at the 2012 IGAEA Summer Conference at Clemson University.
Here is a description of the presentation that John delivered:
Successful printers are transforming and growing their business by adding more marketing services to their toolbox. In addition to print, they are now helping their clients with web design, landing page creation & hosting, email efforts, mobile marketing, and more! It is no longer enough to just teach the dynamics of how to put ink and toner on paper. You need to teach students how to build, manage, execute, and measure integrated multi-channel marketing campaigns. Learn how you can help them evolve away from a commodity business into a value-added services provider!

60. Final Thoughts on Planning
► Educate your students on the importance of always
taking the time to strategize and plan
► Far too many printers have failed today because they
did not have a plan ready. When things took a turn
for the worse, they weren’t sure where to go.
► Planning can make building, managing, measuring,
and execution easier!

During this slide, you would talk about the beginning part of your book… where you have stories about how your wife, kids, Dad, etc. react to different medias.
Let’s talk for a second about one of the ways that Marketing and Communications has changed…. Certainly, it’s the web. Whether it’s our corporate website, social media pages, Google… these sites have changed everything we do. The way we search, the way we consume information, the way we communicate, the way we shop.800 Million Users on Facebook250 Million Tweets Sent Per Day36+ Hours of Video Uploaded to YouTube every minute (#2 search engine)50 million users on Google+ in 3 months
So.. If we allow this trend to continue.. What will things look like in 2020? The great Dr. Joe Webb helped put this slide together.
The companies with biz models with high percentage of print revenues and high fixed assets are being hit the hardest I think

Product: This is the physical product or service offered to the customer. It also refers to any services or conveniences that are part of the offering. So while the actual, physical end product may be a printed piece or a cross-media campaign, the ancillary services wrapped around its delivery are equally—if not more—important. This includes consulting, data analysis and many other components we have already discussed.• Price: Pricing decisions need to take into account profit margins and probable competitive responses. Pricing needs to incorporate not just the printing, but the value-added and professional services accompanying the offer. In many cases, pricing these new services on a cost-plus basis is missing the boat because the market value is often higher than cost-plus. Value-based pricing is more appropriate.• Promotion: Promotion decisions are those related to communicating and selling to potential consumers. Promotion decisions involve advertising, public relations, events, seminars, direct mail, email, social media, etc. In other words, marketing your services.• Place: Place simply refers to how you will sell your products to your customers. What you are selling will directly influence your distribution model. Do you have a walk-up retail bricks-and-mortar storefront? What channels are you using? What does your direct sales force look like? What vertical markets are you going after? And how does your Web storefront play into the mix?
Lots of ways to measure social media success, so make sure you determine your key metrics BEFORE you get started. I recommend picking three solid metrics to track. Appropriate metrics differ based on what your objective is for the program.
