In an important article from PPAI, the record year experienced by the Promo Industry in 2022 is laid out and discussed.
A few questions explored were:
• Is this record growth sustainable?
• What factors were in play?
Additionally:
• How do we take advantage of this growth?
• How do we increase our business when our staff is already fully tasked?
• How can our staff spend less time on manual tasks and more time servicing customers?
• How do we grow without adding additional staff?
• How do we improve our quote-to-order process to ensure we win more business?
