How This In-Plant Contributes Directly to Its University's Mission

Webster University

Webster University is directly contributing to its institution's mission by using the print shop as a training ground for students. "Students have become an integral part of our operation," explains Justin Tetley, Coordinator of Mail and Copy Solutions for the St. Louis university. "Each semester 6-10 work study students are recruited to fill important roles ranging from graphic design to marketing to copywriting. "We usually receive about a dozen applicants for each position."

  

To boost in their marketing efforts, QR codes appear on customer survey cards which accompany every job. "QR Codes have provided a convenient opportunity for customers to communicate their feedback.  We have learned that today's college students, as well as most faculty and staff are more prone to respond to a QR code survey versus a traditional survey."

In a down economy, in-plant printing and mailing operations are faced with the same issues as the rest of the industry. As budgets get tighter, every dollar spent needs to demonstrate return on investment (ROI) or return on marketing investment (ROMI).  

 

Find out how in-plant managers Catherine Ciardi, Excellus BlueCross BlueShield in Rochester, NY, and Karen Meyers, Michigan Farm Bureau in Lansing are opening doors for new internal customer opportunities, along with expanding wallet share of existing clientele with differentiated applications through digital printing and personalized communications. Plus learn how they're becoming profit centers with the help of external client jobs.

"IPMA's weekly job board is a great asset to both members seeking jobs and managers looking to find that next great employee! I have always liked seeing who is hiring and for what types of positions even if I was not searching for an employee or job. I am very happy to say that I found my current position through the IPMA job board. Thanks IPMA for your outstanding member benefits!"

"IPMA's Job Board is one the best sources for looking for new opportunities in your career. My new position was posted on the Job Board after my new employer searched through local newspapers and various on-line job sites."
