The Christmas season in Italy begins on the first Sunday of Advent, which is four Sundays before Christmas. Christmas fairs feature fireworks and bonfires along with holiday music. Families go to the Christmas markets to shop for gifts and new figures for the manger scene. Some families set up a Christmas tree and decorate it. Families set up their presepio, or manger scene, on the first day of the novena. They gather before the presepio each morning or evening of novena to light candles and pray. reposted from Christmas Traditions Around the World.
This blog will mark the ninth 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!
Alas, I must have been a bad boy for most of those years, since many of my requests did not come to fruition. I've been selling Ricoh products since 1998, thus I've been that loyal sales person, along with that sales person that is enamored with the Ricoh brand. Just can't figure out my so many of my requests go unanswered.
A few years ago, I asked for faster A4 black devices with advanced finishing capabilities. Finally, this year I get the faster A4 black devices, but Ricoh then eliminates the finisher/staplers! Wawawa, I just don't get it, who is better than me to decide on what products should come to market here in the US? LOL
What I Want for Christmas in 2016
- I want a level playing field for Direct & Dealers, and enough of the BS that we care about our dealers, just give us the same pricing as Direct.
- Can you please get me faster A4 color devices with advanced finishing/stapling and hole punching.
- I need this too! The faster new A4 black devices are really awesome (even if there're OEM'd by Kyocera), but I need finisher/staplers with these devices also!
- I could really use a Color Label Press, and I can help you with the design too! Just take the MP C8003, remove the copier, scanner features, add a Fiery, add an exit conveyor and then add the StraightShooter envelope feeder. I could kill it with this device. This system could print #10 envelopes up to 100 per minute!
- How about a giving me a 24 inch wide format MFP? You're offering a 24 inch version the of the MP CW2201 in Japan, why not bring it too me!
- Enough already with the crappy copier apps for the new 04 series! Do you really think anyone copies any more? Instead bring me some scanning apps that I can use for my social media accounts.
- I need, a faster wide color wide format MFP. Don't care if it's ink based or toner based. I'm tired of not being able to compete with the likes of HP. KIP & OCE. Color wide format is the next great opportunity for wide format devices.
- Since I'm asking for wide format stuff, please, please design a document feeder for the Ricoh wide format devices. Believe it or not, the last few that I sold, I had calls that the device was not feeding multi originals! Don't think about copying, think about scanning, how awesome would it be to stack 20 wide format pages in a document feeder. Set it, scan it and forget it!
- I want folding units! Please bring me some folding options that will work with the new A4 series color devices.
- Xerox recently announced that they were going to migrate many existing Xerox Direct accounts their dealers. I think this would be an awesome gesture if Ricoh could do the same with their Direct accounts. Can you make this happen?
I'd like to take the time to thank all of our readers for the comments, the likes and the replies that have been posted this last year. In addition, I'd like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas, Happy Holiday and have a tremendous healthy and happy New Year!
PS, if you can think of anything else please post it in the reply section!
