I always like to start these Christmas blogs with a post with some snippets about Christmas tradition in other countries.
South Africa
While the traditions around South Africa vary by region and culture, most families come together for a cookout, called braaing on the holiday. Marinated steaks and boerewors sausages serve as the main course, followed by a customary dessert of malva pudding (pictured) served with a custard. Traditional fir Christmas trees are decorated with a variety of baubles included hand-beaded African ornaments.......you can read more here
This blog will mark the sixteenth 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 a couple of retreads from last year because I still need these! That's all I want is some cool new stuff for Christmas that will garner me more sales?
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 2023"
1. It's awesome that we just had a refresh on our black A4 MFPs. However what I would really like is refresh with our color A4 MFPs. They are kinda long in the tooth these days. Hoping there is a chance for a price reduction as well! Can you bring this for Christmas?
"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. I would be thrilled to get 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. Can you give me a new app for all of our MFPs? I would like to have an app that allows me to scan directly to social media apps like Instagram, facebook and especially Linkedin. I could do so much more with social media.
"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. Can you please bring back black wide format devices that will print at 10 and 14 "D" sizes per minute? Not really sure why these are still offered in the EU but not in the US. Please, please....
"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. Believe it or not I would like and A4 MFP that could scan 11" x 17" and allow me to reduce that 11" x 17" document to letter or legal size.
10. Can you please give is some additional scanning features for our MFPs? By know you must know that clients scan more than they copy! I would to have our next MFPs with these additions!
- auto align/de-skew
- de-speckle
- auto-rotate
- crop
- mirror
- invert
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!
