NAPL Members Access Business Tools, Resources
What if you could grow your company, build a network of resources, have access to the most knowledgeable and experienced people in our industry, all the while advance your professional and personal development? Well, you can…by joining an association.
“The benefits and value that membership brings to you and your company are beyond measure,” notes Kristen Hartman, Director of Membership for NAPL (Booth 3649).
“It’s our job to anticipate the current and future needs of business owners, and then provide the products and services that address those needs and help companies thrive and grow,” Hartman adds. “There’s never been a better time to join NAPL than right now.”
Membership in NAPL comes with a host of benefits, such as the newest tools from the NAPL Research Center. These crucial-to-your-business studies and reports include the accurate and timely NAPL State of the Industry Series, comprising the State of the Industry Report, Strategic Perspective and Printing Business Conditions Update, the NAPL Growth Leaders Study, the NAPL Printing Industry Profile, the NAPL Quick & Small Commercial Printer Trends Report, and NAPL Performance Indicators Briefings.
These studies and reports provide industry measurements, trend projections, economic data and analysis, and leadership tools key to thriving and growing your business in an especially competitive marketplace.
Rich in resources
Have you ever had a question or concern and thought how beneficial it would be to have a network of peers, industry experts and consultants to discuss the issues with? With NAPL membership, you have those resources, including online forums, a robust website, access to NAPL’s Business Advisory Team and Information Central, as well as discounts to conferences and events for in-person networking.
“As a member of NAPL, I have access to industry-specific experts covering all areas of my business,” says Nora Stevens, President of Clean Copy, Inc., Portland, OR. “I use the coaching services with the NAPL Business Advisors quite frequently. What I find so helpful is that my coach makes himself available for more than the monthly coaching call, and provides access to other experts and resources as needed.”
Adds Wanzie Collins, President of Panaprint, Inc., Macon, GA: “We have long found NAPL to be an invaluable resource for reliable management information. Their consulting, peer group facilitating, and cost studies have been particularly useful to the ongoing growth of our company.”
NAPL expands and updates its offerings in response to the evolving industry climate, the economy, and the needs of its membership. It recently developed enhanced versions of its NAPL WorkPlan for Success and Performance Indicators Program, the NAPL Management Plus Best Practices Assessment and [P]REVIEW member magazine.
