Connecting Through Community During COVID-19

Friends,

The world is a scary place right now. In just a few short weeks, many employees transitioned to a work-from-home model, spring events were postponed and people around the globe are still trying to preserve human connection while social distancing.

The print and promotional products industry is facing changes by the hour, so choosing calm over fear can feel like a big ask. At Print+Promo, we want to be a source for industry professionals to exchange knowledge and discuss solutions to overcome current obstacles, all while providing the most up-to-date coverage—which is why we’re asking for your input.

If you have:

• General information on your situation we can use to help develop an updated picture of the state of the industry
• Tips or strategies for navigating the changing business landscape
• Success stories or lessons learned
• Questions you have or challenges you’re facing

… or any other insights that might be beneficial to your peers, let us know by emailing me at ecarr@napco.com, or our publisher, Jim Harvie, at jharvie@napco.com. Even if you don’t have anything specific to add at this time, but would be open to answering a few questions for a future story, we’d still love to hear from you.

It is our hope to bring you clarity in times of uncertainty. The print industry is no stranger to hardships; however, the COVID-19 crisis is unprecedented. Physical distance may keep us apart, but we can still learn from one another, adopt a compassionate approach and remain connected.

Be well and stay safe,
Elise Hacking Carr
