A Look at Printing in 2010
Print volumes also seem to be down for most job types, with the exception of color marketing materials. My prediction is that direct mail jobs will drop and then rise later in the year. The drop will be because, despite the best marketing efforts, people just aren't buying yet and marketing budgets will be depleted. Marketing will shift investments from direct mail to e-mail, traditional online and social media in hopes of finding more cost-effective ways to get their messages out.
