From the Pressroom
What’s your tablet strategy?
At 45, I can’t claim membership in the super tech-savvy Millennial Generation. But just because I came of age in the Big Chief tablet era doesn’t mean I can’t transition to the iPad age. I’m sure others feel the same way.

Publishers Press’ Dick Ryan predicts that tablet computers’ impact on print will be greatest on individual pages currently output at home or work. But he also sees new opportunities. “Tablets could create larger audiences for publishers as well as all other media, “ providers he writes. “You should be able to drive incremental audience growth and therefore revenues, but only if you act on a strategy that targets new readers … combined with interactive editorial and production content.”

You’ll find some further tablet stats and resources here: blog.americanprinter.com/kob/2011/06/29/take-two-tablets-and-call-me-in-the-morning/

As always, thanks for reading!

Editor's Pick
We are a tree-friendly industry, really!
HM Graphics’ “Print If You Love Trees” dispels the myths of paper and printing as being environmentally irresponsible. The campaign includes drop cards, stickers, T-shirts and even real trees. We planted one of the trees, and it is still alive!

For more on this campaign, see blog.americanprinter.com/kob/2011/06/23/if-you-love-trees-go-ahead-and-print/
