To Ricoh "What I Want for Christmas 2022"

I always like to start these Christmas blogs with a post with some snippets about Christmas tradition in other countries.

Ireland

Christmas for Irish people, who are Catholics, lasts from Christmas Eve to the feast of Epiphany on January 6th, which some Irish people call 'Little Christmas'. Epiphany isn't now widely celebrated in Ireland.

In Ireland, many people will put up their decorations, including the Christmas tree, on December 8th, which is the Feast of the Immaculate Conception.

There is an old tradition that in some Irish houses (although now not many), people put a tall, thick candle on the sill of the largest window after sunset on Christmas Eve. The candle is left to burn all night and represents a welcoming light for Mary and Joseph. you can read more here

This blog will mark the fifteenth blog that I've posted over the years for "What I Want for Christmas" from Ricoh. Over the years I've asked Ricoh to supply me with new products, and services that could help me sell more Ricoh stuff! There's ac couple of retreads from last year because I still need these! That's all I want is some cool new stuff for Christmas.

Geesh, what do I want this year, hmmmm…..now some of these are replays from last years wishes, but if you don't ask you don't get!

To Ricoh "What I Want for Christmas 2022"

1. I could really use some inventory on A4 MFPs both color and black this would make an awesome gift for the new year! This way I would not have to turn away clients for 2023.

"Strange, isn't it? Each man's life touches so many other lives. When he isn't around he leaves an awful hole, doesn't he?"

2. What about giving us a 70/80/90 page a minute A4 black MFP's? Ya know something we can crush the market with? But they would have to come with finishing capabilities and have the cost per page model of A3 devices!

"Remember the night we broke the windows in this old house? This is what I wished for"

3. Year after year I keep wishing for a toner based color wide format MFP that will print 36 rolls of paper. In addition could you make this device print onto different substrates rather than bond paper?

"Now, you listen to me! I don't want any plastics, and I don't want any ground floors, and I don't want to get married - ever - to anyone! You understand that? I want to do what I want to do. And you're... and you're..."

4. I know I'm asking a lot, but how about some faster print speeds for black (more than 6.8) and color wide format (ink) MFP's? I've got devices in the field due for upgrades and there is no path to help those clients.

"Merry Christmas, movie house! Merry Christmas, Emporium! Merry Christmas, you wonderful old Building and Loan!"

5. How about some more videos of your products on YouTube. However not those generic ones with the nice music and graphics. I'd like to have more detailed videos that show features and how they will help my clients with their business processes. The world is all about video now.

"You've been given a great gift, George: A chance to see what the world would be like without you"

6. How about one single A3 model that can cover both black and color, along with speed licensing from 20-60 pages per minute? In addition all of the accessories would be the same. This would be awesome because we would only have to stock one MFP and dealers could buy and sell annual speed licenses (turn the speed up or down).

What is it you want, Mary? What do you want? You want the moon? Just say the word and I'll throw a lasso around it and pull it down. Hey. That's a pretty good idea. I'll give you the moon, Mary.

7. Oh boy, if could supply us with the one A3 MFP to cover replace the eight devices we have to buy now. The I hope you could also give us a variable speed license to sell. Just think how awesome that could be for clients to speed it up or slow it down when needed!

Strange, isn't it? Each man's life touches so many other lives. When he isn't around he leaves an awful hole, doesn't he?

8. Can we please get wifi added to all of our devices as a standard feature? This would make life so much easier in hybrid work office environments.

"HOT DOG"

9. I would like you to call George Kurtz and cut a deal to buy Crowdstrike!

For all of our readers that sell different brands, we would love to hear what you would like from your manufacturer. Merry Christmas to all!
