Purchasing Print Economically
Print Buyer Case Study - Speaker: Susan Peeling, Purchasing & Production Manager, Epilepsy Foundation

One of our most popular seminars from last year was our session on Saving Money with Print. As you well know, this is an on-going challenge for not only non-profits, but also corporations, associations and agencies. Here's a fresh look and more solutions from a seasoned print buyer with extensive agency and non-profit experience. Susan Peeling, Purchasing & Production Manager for Epilepsy Foundation, will share her special recipe for getting the most bang out of your print bucks. Here are some topics in which she will present cost-savings solutions: 

·         Working with limited budgets (and lower dollars from fund-raising)

·         Working with reduced staff and having to work more

·         Special challenges to non-profits

·         How to maximize supplier selection and relationships for cost-savings 

·         Going green without spending more money
