From 26 Years-Old to Over 40 Years in #Business: Bill Feinberg Reflects on the #Printing Industry & Talks #MinutemanPress #Franchise Then & Now in #Worcester, MA https://lnkd.in/exRvzcgF In September of 1983, Bill Feinberg bought his Minuteman Press franchise in Worcester, MA. While he was just 26 years-old at the time, Bill has now been in business for 41 years. RVP Todd Golberg presented Bill with his well-deserved Special Achievement Award in recognition of over 40 years in business. Bill reflects, “40+ years later, this award means I’ve established a reliable source of income, year in and year out. I did my ‘first million’ in 2000, and have been over the million mark ever since, year in and year out. The Worcester market is very consistent for me. This is a lucrative business and Minuteman Press has been good to me. I renewed my franchise agreement when it was up a few years ago and we just keep humming along with myself and my 3 team members.” Bill shares his top 5 products and services for Minuteman Press in Worcester: --#Digitalprinting --Color work, high-end work, and #wideformat #printing --#Signage --#Labels --#Mailings (outsourced direct mail) Evolution of Digital Printing In 41 years, you are bound to see changes in your industry and your business. For Bill, digital printing was a game-changer, and Minuteman Press embracing digital printing showed just how ahead of the curve they were on emerging trends. Bill says, “By far, the most impactful change I’ve seen is the move to digital printing. We used to run so much black and white printing for retailers as well as medical forms for groups. Digital printing ushered in high-quality color runs that have made operating the business much easier. The whole operation is streamlined with digital printing – we have the print-ready file, send it to our Xerox machine, and our quality is just as good as it would be on a 6-color press. The margins are tremendous for us with digital printing and it’s the highest margin product we sell.” He adds, “Running the business for 41 years, I am very happy with Minuteman Press as my franchisor. I had the option of leaving the franchise after 25 years or renewing the agreement, and I renewed. We have the support, the freedom, the vendor contracts, and the FLEX software. I feel that Minuteman Press was always leading the charge in the industry and they proved that by getting on top of the digital printing trend right when it was going to happen. Of course, it did, and Minuteman Press made sure we were ready for it.” In Bill’s own words from earlier , the business is “humming along” indeed… Congratulations!
This is how it is done!
