  • Can Clients Be Trained

    A print shop client recently started “Free Friday File Fun.” Each Friday
    afternoon they invite customers and select prospects to learn the best
    way to prepare and save files to give them to a service provider.

    The idea was born out of the fact that many of their small business
    clients had just enough graphic design know-how to get a basic
    design done but then brought in all sorts of “unoutputable” files to
    get printed.

    Now they host a weekly workshop and offer free software training
    and tips to show their clients “how to be better customers.”

    Of course, prospects want to attend and referrals are up too.

    So, what can you teach your clients?

    • Considering we are in the design profession, we often have to teach people that just because they have a new graphics program, doesn't mean they are suddenly designers. (ha) New clients often relay to us that they have had horrible experiences with print shop "designers." Part of our job is to educate them enough to know how to ask the right questions, should they be in a situation where they require a fast print job, and need to ensure adherence to their brand/identity.
