This past week, we had the chance to connect with our  Fastsigns clients/friends in Austin, TX where we attended the annual FASTSIGNS Trade Show Convention, which also happened to be the franchises 25th Anniversary.  It was the first time Charlette Harris, the Fastsigns customer service rep and Kristi Perron, the Director, Web Marketing, had gotten a chance to experience a Fastsigns convention and it was amazing. Georgia Printco was able to showcase our new printers print quality while also getting feedback on how the industry is doing and what we as a vendor can do to improve our products and services to enhance business for everyone.

I (Kristi) got a chance to revamp our booth and display with new hands-on/interactive style sample stations, a backdrop to illustrate the incredible quality improvements, and a game that got all attendees involved. I was also able to give everyone a heads up about upcoming blogs that will act as tutorials on the basics in online social media. Many attendees were floored by the new product as well as finding out a few things that they didn’t already know about Georgia Printco – like how we can reverse-print static-cling (we can print white ink!)… that was the most popular sample- I believe we ran out before the end of the first day… WHEW!  I was told by a few franchise owners that there were plenty of great educational classes and the evening socials went great too!  We all had a great time making connections as well as making friends, which we have added to the Georgia Printco family circle.
