Here's the most recent edition MBC Today, including my letter from the editor and a link to the digital version preview of the magazine (the full version is an exclusive benefit for its subscribers).
Dear Readers,
Watch out, Vegas, three big events are coming your way! And along with them, a peculiar (in the best way) group of retail printers and shippers, ready to hit the strip and let it rip!
In this issue of MBC Today, you'll find information on these three events: the MBC Education Symposium in July hosted by FotoZoomer, the PRINTING United Expo in September, and AMBC's print-focused event that is in partnership with—and following immediately after—the PRINTING United Expo.
I, for one, am a huge Vegas nut. Outside of the city that will always have my heart—New York—I'm a total Vegas favortist and love that we find ourselves there every year or two (or multiple times a year, as the case may be) for events.
I have my favorite Vegas restaurants, favorite Vegas bagel joint, and favorite Vegas venues that I try to hit up every time I get to that fabulous desert (and dessert) oasis...as likely you do too. Each time I go, I try to stay at a different casino—often at some of the older ones to feel the nostalgia and smell the decades of smoke infused in the walls, which brings back sensory memories of my grandmother's apartment. It makes me smile.
And the over-the-topness of everything in lights and glittery is certainly something I most definitely appreciate. (I don't know if you've picked up on it before if you've been around me much at events or have taken any of my classes, but I think it's safe to say that I'm "just a little extra.")
On top of our Vegas travels, we also have other great industry events to look forward to, like the ShipRite convention coming up in a few weeks. I'll be there, slated to teach a "Becoming a Destination" class with Fahim and give advice to attendees about targeted marketing, specialization, and the extreme powers of word-of-mouth and flowing profits that destination messaging brings to a business. It's an event you don't want to miss!
Events aside, what has really excited me lately on coaching calls, client visits, and other things that keep me entirely too busy in what is supposed to be semi-retirement, is seeing my industry peers, mentors, and mentees soaring because of simple relationship-based strategies and business practices that they've implemented. Our industry is all about relationships; it's all about people serving people. Those who do it with integrity and heart are filling their karma banks...and money banks. Facts.
Thanks to all of the writers and contributors who have made this yet another great edition of MBC Today. And thanks, most of all, to you, the readers. Please read and reread with intent, focus, and an open mind, because that's what allows growth to occur.
With care,
