Government Printers Rendezvous in the Rockies
Barkin initiated a discussion with in-plants in the audience about various partnerships they have with vendors and other in-plants. He advised attendees to find all the government in-plants in their regions, including those at colleges and school districts. Visit them, he said, and invite them to see your plant. Discuss ways to partner and send each other work. But make sure to investigate chargeback procedures and evaluate all costs of doing business, and prepare a formal business plan before moving ahead.
