Unless you operate solely in the smallest of markets, odds are there are advertising, design and marketing agencies of varying sizes within a postcode or two of your printing business. They may serve small local accounts, larger regional clients or huge national brands. Some have long-standing relationships with their accounts, while others, especially smaller firms, may focus on more project-oriented versus retainer-based work.

These firms represent a unique opportunity to gain a wide variety and large volume of work through a single relationship. In this webinar, we will look into how developing an effective approach to these companies can result in more printing work — with less time spent prospecting. As such, crafting the right approach and making a great first impression are critically important for your business.
