Thank you so much for all of those insightful tips! Very very useful. Matt, thanks so much!Every time I have to use a fax machine I need assistance. Clearly I don't use one often! Haha. Hopefully we will see a decrease in faxing and other old school techniques in the near future *fingers crossed*! Mike! Thank you so much for all of those insightful tips! Very very useful.

I can't stand the archaic process of faxing! Scan... Email. C'mon peeps! I know designers usually are'nt to blame. Some industries are deeply rooted in their archaic processes (like insurance companies... Ever had to make a claim? Ugh!). They need to get with the times! Great post Antonea!

Oh, one last one... Ask for high percentage post-consumer recycled cartons for delivery... then recycle them! Nice post Antonea! :-)

Just a couple more ideas:

- Ask your printers if they use bulk ink delivery systems for their presses, fewer ink cans = less waste into the stream

- Ask them if they recycle their aluminum press plates

- Ask them if they are using low VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) processing chemicals for their plate and film processing.

- Gang printing CMYK jobs can save your client $$, and make the best use of press sheets… less waste into the stream.

Oh, one last one…

Ask for high percentage post-consumer recycled cartons for delivery… then recycle them!

In the past, offline media was one of the major mediums to promote one’s business and brand awareness. However, with the increasing popularity of the online media and its positive results, more people are turning to online marketing techniques to build a strong business presence across the globe. There are several online marketing strategies we can use for our Internet marketing solutions, but SEO (search engine optimization) today has taken a stance much ahead of any other technique. SEO brings with it tremendous scope for business improvement with improved keyword positioning, improved ranking and overall increase in the ROI and cuts down on the PPC cost extensively in the long run. This is a proven marketing solution if done the right way using the right techniques based on your website requirements. I thought this information would be helpful for those who wish to promote their website and get great results. Interesting!
