Critical Communications

THURSDAY, JULY 27, 2023 | 2PM EST

Consumers expect personalized interactions on their preferred channel. Corporations are looking for business partners to help them use the right communication channel to deliver the best experience. In this session, you will hear from Canon partners as well as Canon production inkjet users about how critical customer communications (statements, invoices, notifications, etc.) are being used to supercharge customer acquisition, retention, compliance, and governance. 

CUSTOMER SPOTLIGHT

BURDISS Triples Their Gross Annual Sales with the Canon varioPRINT iX Sheetfed Inkjet Press  

Robert Burdiss is Co-Owner of BURDISS and a National Auto Sports Association (NASA) race car instructor and driver who applies the same philosophies in his print business that he teaches as a NASA driving instructor. “First, you must have the right equipment. You don’t go to a race with a regular car. The same holds true in business, it simply starts with the right equipment.” Robert proudly points to the Canon varioPRINT iX sheetfed inkjet press they recently added to their floor as an example of having the right equipment for the job. “The quality of the Canon varioPRINT iX is, quite frankly, stunning, and the substrate versatility opened a lot of doors for us; we tripled our gross annual sales with the iX.”
