PRIMIR, the ‘Print Industries Market Information and Research Organization’ recently released its 2012 Executive Committee officers and members. This organization is responsible to oversee all aspects concerning the organization, as well as balancing the requests and needs of the membership when selecting the current year’s research projects. This organization is one of the premier marketing and research associations dealing with graphic communications and the print industry. Members of this industry include equipment manufacturers, suppliers, paper companies, publishers, and printers.
For new people interested in opening a new print franchise, this organization has a wealth of technical information and research to assist you. Needless to say, when you start a printing business there is a lot of information required to ensure your printing franchise or design franchise gets off to a great start.
Research completed by this association is requested by their membership. Committees are formed to provide a forum and marketing strategies through a peer system that enables all members to have a say in how the research is conducted and develops. This enables a peer situation to arise where members can network and share educational information, tips, and hints with each other.
This year’s board of directors includes Eric Frank, KBA North America, as chair, Frances Cicogna, Canon USA Inc., as Vice-Chair, William K Smythe, Global Programs, as Vice-President, and Jacqueline M. Bland, Marketing Director for PRIMIR, as secretary. Members continuing on the board include Gavin Jordan-Smith, Ludmila Gushina, Jennifer Young, and Mary Lee Schneider.
