  • Wide range of other graphic arts dealer services

Invaluable Aid in Setting Compensation Levels and Charges
This 60+ report, with data from 40 dealers with 122 outlets in Canada and the United States, shows:

  • How dealers service products from presses to sophisticated electronic equipment
  • Changes in dealer service practices since a similar 1994 study

Service as Key Element in the Future of the Channel
NAGASA president and CEO, David J. Steinhardt, comments in the introduction of the report, “Since this survey was last done in 1994, the dealer channel has become more sophisticated.
Not only do dealers today sell and service complex digital equipment, they are beginning to focus on service as a key element of their overall business plan. Among larger dealers especially, service is seen as one of the elements of a strategy to replace declining film sales with a more holistic means of servicing printers and trade shops. Comments made by dealers, as well as the financial information disclosed, indicate dealer owners and managers — from single to multi location firms — are focusing on service and that they see service as a key element in the future of the channel.”
