This Week in the Copier Industry 5 Years Ago (Second Week of March 2015)

 

I arrived back in town from Aruba late on Monday.  Yup, I took a vacation and rarely accessed the internet! Yay for me.  To say the least I came back to state that is in pure panic mode with corona virus.  Tuesday was not so bad as four opportunities went HOT.  Did the work that I had to and subsequent days produced almost nothing, no email responses, no phone call responses and in four days I was only able to set four meetings for next week.

Starting on Monday I'll be sending ZOOM requests for those meetings to see if that can change things up.  Hoping for a good finish to the quarter.

Enjoy these awesome threads from 5 Years ago this Week!

I wanted to resurrect this old thread to see if there are any Ricoh Dealers out there making use of the tiered level coverage area data that the Ricoh color devices now provide. We know that Xerox and Kyocera have had this capability longer than Ricoh but I'm not seeing it being utilized by anyone. Anyone running across it in their neck of the woods? If you are a Ricoh Dealer utilizing this, I would like to find out more about the when, where's and hows. I would also like to know what the

Re: Ricoh Tier (ricotier) Color Page Cost?

I think it's something dealers are secretly scared of marketing & offering. They are afraid that it will result in lost revenue in margins, & they may be right. There are a lot of trends (no-minimum contracts, rules-based printing to reduce color volume, educated buyers, among others) in the industry right now that are putting the easy margins at risk. This is one of those topics that the few who figure out how to correctly position it as a differentiator will use to take their market by storm
