| Even though most companies claim to put customers at the center of the business, few do. | |
| Too often we look at customers using an “inside-out” perspective — namely by asking what products can we sell them. Instead, Gulati says, we need an “outside-in” view that asks what problems can we solve for them. Take, for example, bagged salad. With our traditional inside-out view of market research, we ask customers about what they like or don’t like about a particular product, say lettuce. How much would you pay for it? Where do you prefer to buy it? But we don’t ask the basic outside-in questions, such as, how does the making and consumption of salad relate to your busy lifestyle? If you asked THAT question at the right time, the answer would have been, “I wish I did eat more salad, but I’m too busy to make them.” And you would have been shown the need for a new market in ready-made bagged salad, which today in the US is a $2.5 billion business. “Answers like that one are almost impossible to uncover when the inquiry is inside-out — when the questions start with the product and then moves to the customer,” Gulati writes. Outside-in companies such as Fresh Express (the bagged salad company) and Best Buy (which redesigned stores to appeal to women) are not only more profitable, they are more likely to do well in a downturn. Describing a four-step process that companies follow to get to outside-in, Gulati says the real moment of power comes in step 3, when companies stop pushing products and instead solve customer problems. Now consider the Outside-in approach for your products and services, does it offer a whole new and fresh way to promote them? Problem solving, solution finding has always been at the heart of selling, sometimes we just need a nice little reminder. Story published by BNET, Sean Silverthorne – The go to place for management.

Membership Card - Print Your Own
|
| More than just a membership card - It’s about client experience and profit protection!
Making the right impression is important to every business!
|
| Creating client value and enhancing your brand and company awareness has got to be good for your image, and that of your business.
A Membership Card identifies your customers, and a digitally printed photo makes this even easier. Better still, you gain protection against customers sharing their membership status with friends and family…. If that is happening to you, how much money are you losing?
Digitally printing your own full colour plastic cards (credit card size) with or without Photo ID is now as low as 21p per card and takes just 25 seconds.
A complete yet simple to operate Card Printer System from our Revolution Range includes badge software with record management, consumables hamper, digital USB camera and 12 months telephone support and onsite warranty and starts from only £797+vat for the CP07. Leasing / rental options also exist (subject to status).
By owning a card printer and issuing on-demand customised membership cards, you can also create and sell your own unique gift cards. Imagine the income possibilities when your existing members gift an experience at your leisure facility.
Card printer owners also print their own business cards and provide loyalty cards. You could also create health / fitness educational cards as cards to sell or give away to motivate your customer’s experience. The free advertising you enjoy as your members show friends and family, a card branded by your organisations logo is invaluable.
As if these great examples were not enough, your new card printer will also give you the means to badge your staff with Photo ID Security cards, you may even wish to issue visitor cards to help your team identify who should or should not be onsite or accessing certain areas of your facility.
For existing card printer users, Eagle can save you 25% to 50% off the price of your ribbons with our genuine Plus-Ribbon™. Our uniquely created high quality alternative ribbons, compatible with all leading card printer brands have been selling in over 50 countries since 2004.

Amazingly, the Persona C30e and DTC400e range combine ReWrite and Dye-sublimation technology in an easy to use, easy to install product.
The DTC550 range represents a higher end, more security conscious product for corporate Identification requirements.
The Reverse transfer technology used in the HDP5000 printer series provides incredible High Definition Printing™ (HDP is a registered Fargo Trademark) at affordable prices for today’s market.
Low cost - multi functional - cross technology is the way forward for card printers…
Stuart Parker, Eagle’s Technical Manager comments… “The modular advance allows the end user to purchase an entry level single sided printer and in the future be able to upgrade their product. When I consider the number of requests my team receives relating to changing needs, the modular approach has to be the way forward in today’s plastic card printing environment.”
Stuart continues… “From a technical perspective, Fargo by HID™ , have a proven track record in developing reliable Printer Drivers and fantastic fully comprehensive User Guides”
To complement the Fargo by HID range, Eagle Technologies provides comprehensive printer inclusive telephone technical support for a minimum of 12 months. This covers Eagle’s reseller directly and/or their end user if they prefer Eagle to manage all after sales needs. Even if it is just to ‘hand hold’ through the setup and printer / software install, Stuart’s team is on hand to assist.
Ricki Smith, Eagle’s Operations Manager adds, “Unlike other low cost printers on the market the C30e doesn’t have a high cost per card, quite the opposite really and is comparable to some of the best value for money printers available today”.
Fargo card printers are easy to use and come free with Asure ID Badge making software.
Eagle is very excited to embark on a ‘Pro Fargo by HID’ campaign and will actively highlight many of the features (including price leadership) which the distributor believes may not be so well known within it’s 1000 strong international reseller network.
