Change from innovation
The printing enterprise and supplier's thinking is changing from the traditional products and services to the digital direction. This transformation through printing, advertising, terminal market. Although a few of the enterprise or the like before, to maintain the vitality and continue to provide the immutable and frozen products and services, but the vast majority of enterprises to innovate, they need to improve their service to get the business volume continued to decline in the winter. This is the market in the printing industry is happening.
Three trends in USA printing enterprise, marketing and advertising market is experiencing a dramatic transformation period. In recent years, those of us in the printing industry fought for many years have witnessed too many changing technology, these technologies have radically changed our business model. Continuous innovation, these changes began in the early 90's of the last century the hardware such as printing, digital printing toner technology continues to erode the traditional offset printing market based on color ink-jet printing equipment; heat of the highly acclaimed has not been in the past, the color ink-jet printing production equipment will further as the market's "showstopper".
All the time, continuous innovations in hardware products is considered to be the main driver of market transformation, but the fact that software "killer" more. A short period of time after the emergence of digital printing equipment, printing industry software vendors can provide work flow function. Compared to the PDF process or the printing of MIS software is more important, the work flow is provided by the electronic commerce software, the integration of Internet search and advertising tool, and the recent rise in mobile marketing services. With the current situation of the traditional products and services are shrinking, the advertising to the Internet and mobile terminal market practice is to form a synergistic effect, like the two fist at the same force, threatening the commercial printing industry.
According to the Pew Research Center entitled "status quo" news media industry report shows that in 2013, all traditional forms of advertising (such as the proportion of television, radio, newspapers, etc.) is declining, while the proportion of online and mobile advertising is increasing. This change in the advertising revenue for the printing service provider business adjustment of great significance, because the proportion of advertising printing job in the field of printing large. For commercial printing service providers, newspapers and magazines, direct mail, a directory page, large format printing labels, and so are the potential source of income as collateral. Due to the change of advertising does not always occur in specific applications or in the market, let us talk about a specific application, see the online and mobile terminal is how to change the printing market.
Case: car sales advertising way
For decades, the newspaper and printing service provider has been promoting its cars and car dealer service point. Over the years, the newspaper ads, car dealers and grocery store advertising is very successful. In fact, this success in many specific vertical market has been confirmed, the automobile sales and service is just one of them. But the emergence of variable data printing, the target specific vertical market more easily, on-demand printing field friends often talk about world class variable data about automobile sales and service advertising campaign. However, a blog on the newsosaur show that, for the car industry, the transition from traditional newspapers, radio, television to the digital direction of advertising costs are enormous.
These changes not only the upside and downside. If you're a variable data printing services to the automotive distributor of printing enterprises, this is a problem for you, so you need to consider from print to online or mobile terminal services market. On the other hand, it gives people who specialize in paid search, personalized service, SEO site to build a two-dimensional code technology, cross media opportunities for suppliers.
Printing enterprises still can

In fact, the ecological mode of enterprise internal printing market and commercial printing is almost the same.
