At PrintUSA.com we are building a industry specific web site for the public to meet printers and graphic designers and industry suppliers.
"Our only mission is to become the world class Internet print resource."
Our primary goals are:We are by nature a very independent craft. By this I mean our pride and competitive nature have kept us from uniting in business. Yes, we have the NAPL, the PIA and other trade organizations, but no one has focused on marketing our entire industry to the world. Now thanks to the Internet and the World Wide Web there is an economical way to reach the growing Internet business community.
- Build and maintain a printing quotes service that brings the print buyer to the printer. This service is currently on-line and updated weekly. In late 2007 we started changing our model by helping specialty printers develop their Internet markets. As we progress in this area you will see subtle appearance changes at printusa.com.
- Build a printing and graphics data base for print buyers searchable by design capabilities, pre-press, printer, printed products, lithographic and digital printing equipment, press size, specialty, city, state and country.
- Build a printing equipment classified ad data base second to none. This service has been on line since 1995. In 2003 we converted to a data base driven classified printing equipment advertising service that is updated three times a day. In 2005 we started offering banner ads on the classified pages.
- Make our web site attractive yet easy to use. Printusa.com is converting to a new style of web site.
- Market our industry to the world. Printusa.com is well established with the Search Engines.
- Create marketing vehicles that create ongoing attention and interest. Our methods are classified and confidential.
- Build services that enable printers to use the Internet as an effective tool. A major new service will come on line soon that will save printers thousands of dollars per year.
- Maintain a high level of business, system and personal integrity. For example; PrintUSA.com does not compete with our subscribers. Our computer systems are raid compliant. Our word is our bond, even when it cost us money.
- Remain highly focused in a very dynamic market.
Since December 3rd, 1995, 8,169,000+ pages have been read on PrintUSA.com. We are now averaging 3,338,500 pages read per year. PrintUSA.com displays 65,000 classified equipment ads a day. Quote inquiries came from clubs, schools, colleges, universities, small businesses, designers, advertising agencies, publishers and major corporations like, Chrysler Corp., Apple Computer, US Government, England, France, Germany, Russian States, South Africa and South America. 90% of all quotes requests come from the United States.
If your company does not have a home page on the WEB we can build one and host it at PrintUSA. We host client domain names on our servers. PrintUSA.com will move from static web pages to a data base driven web site.
PrintUSA is not an Association. Every client with a home page at PrintUSA is independent of the other. Each client is responsible for responding to all Email inquiries sent to them.
I am a semi retired printer. I raised four children working in the trade and we lived a good life. Now we have 12 grand children. PrintUSA.com is my retirement. My son will take over in the next few years, and it is his programming that will modernize the look and feel PrintUSA.com. Since I am only 64 I have a number of good years to work on this exciting project and others like loghomes.com.
Your suggestions and comments are always welcomed.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Thanks for your time.
