Thanks for chatting with Staples. Yes, Sir, we can deliver the New A4 you bought online. How’s Tuesday? Can we bring it with your supply order? Yes, one more question can you pick up and dispose of my old copier? Yes, we can let's discuss that when we come out to perform your managed print assessment. Thanks again for choosing Staples. End of Chat For Now!! 2019 is indeed starting with a bang. The Imaging Channel changed on Friday the 8th of February. Well, that’s what some will say. In...

Here's something I'm not understanding at least with the copiers and distribution. Dex has dealer agreements with with Kyocera, KonicaMinolta and Canon in their geographical locations. Could those dealer agreements be transferred or renegotiate with Staples? If so could Staples then offer all of those devices nationwide? I was just on Dex's web site and at least for now their web sites tells me that they are still is the "push" mode and not the "pull" mode for their copiers aka imaging...

Thanks for the comments. I would say all manufacturers are meeting in their conference rooms and discussing this. Of, course I would also imagine that a couple manufacturers were more than likely presented some hypotheticals before the announcement. This acquisition is a strategic one and there will be many more implications which arise from it. I would believe that there will be another dealer more than likely another mega dealer which joins DEX at Staples. Once staples has a national...

I agree that in order to move to that next step Staples will need multiple mega dealers to compete on a national level. If only on the dealers would follow the migration of print there is still more than enough to go around if they want to stay in the imaging channel. Yes, office prints are declining, I agree with that. But wide format, grand wide format, and label presses are all in growth mode. One of the largest print events I ever attended was SGIA with more than 20K in attendees that...

Those are vertical products and markets it will take different business plans with different infrastructures to capitalize on them. Selling high end label printers, wide format inside a dealership where there is thousands of MFP in the dealership s MIF makes it easier to offset the delivery cost of products and services like label printers and wide format. When the dealer’s MIF is challenged by new rules and new players. Lots will change.

ty, thus the reason to change. If I were to get back in the business for my-self I would only target wide format, grand wide format and label presses. I would want to part of a declining deliverable. I would choose growth and that wide format channel is ripe for BTA dealers

This seems like an opportunity more than anything for the small to mid-sized dealer. People buy from people and I have no doubt that a giant like Staples will put a hurting on the giants of the industry BUT these changes will open as many doors as it closes and then some for the small to mid size dealer who services the heck out of their customers.

Could one of the goals of Staples be to enter the A3 market? Although the transition from A3 to A4 is 'soon to come' for many, many years now, it still didn't happen. With this acquisition, Staples has possibilities to sell A3 equipment of Kyocera, Konica Minolta and Canon, and that’s where currently the money (still) is... Or am I completely wrong in this assumption?

Great read and I’d love to have thrown a machine out of most lawyers offices. Remember selling against the Pink Transfer Belt of the VQC. I wish I could recall the exact weakness we exploited but it had something to do with the way the belt advanced and how that impacted the life of the belt. Something to do with # of copies made per original ....again it a vague memory. I might even be confusing the model with another one Ed ? Was I dreaming or ???... great story by you. Art - this is a...

@livestrong Thanx Chuck! I'm trying...I've got two I'm waiting on and hoping to find more people via Linkedin. If you know of some peeps please direct me. I'd love to have one of these a month. I believe it's important to document what happened in our industry before the intenet

Selling Copiers in the Seventies with Ed Doyle Last week I had a chance to connect with Ed Doyle via a Linkedin thread I posted about "The Week in Copiers Five Years Ago" . Ed accepted my offer to be interviewed for "Selling Copiers in the Seventies" and gave some excellent content of the copier world back in the seventies. Ed is now retired and I like to think of retirement as every day is a Saturday. Please feel free to post a reply or even give Ed some kudos! Selling Copiers in the...
