Print World 2014 was the place to be for everything print. There were  numerous sales for vendors, large audiences participating in free seminars at the Print Possibilities stage, and we received great feedback from attendees. Visitors were also treated to sleek and innovative booths demonstrating each company’s latest and greatest technology.

Here's what happened this year:

Sydney Stone made quite a bit of sales throughout the show

Gandy also has three deals pending and plenty of leads due to the company’s appearance at this year’s tradeshow.

Four seminars took place on the third and final day of Print World. Here’s what we learned:

Darrell Keezer, founder of Candybox Marketing took to the Print World Seminar stage at 11 am to dole out advice on using social media. He educated the audience on the difference between having a website— a static, generic page— and building a web presence— an interactive goal oriented website with social media links and a regularly updated blog. He implored business owners to stop speaking corporate to their audience and to start speaking to them like you would a friend. He touched on mobile websites and the importance of making it just as smooth and information-rich as a desktop website. “Mobile marketing is no longer a fad, it’s a trend,” he said.  He also shared his views on LinkedIn stating, “If you’re not on LinkedIn you’re not in business.” Keezer also shared a lot of useful stats: Smartphones are checked on average 150 times a day, 93% of people go online for product information, 62% of people buy products online and 64% of people use social media.

The third and final day of Print World was a big day for sales.

At the Esko booth Agfa sold a Kongsberg MultiCUT to Sean Vizsy of Kipling-based Full Frame Signs. “We wanted to expand upon our services,” Vizsy said.

Print World saw more sales for our exhibitors on day two. Sydney Stone continued to sell their machines and so did Technifold.
