The Financial Benchmarks portion of the Printing Industry Performance Insights (PIPI) survey will begin on April 1, 2024.
Industry financial benchmarks help in budgeting, making strategic decisions, and finding a path to improve performance. Therefore, financial benchmarks are a helpful management tool. So, we are excited about the April - Printing Industry Performance & Insights survey, which will build financial benchmarks. But there’s more to the story! We will build those financial benchmarks for different segments in our industry, such as digital-focused printers, sheetfed-focused printers, label printers, web printers, and others. We aim to provide company leaders with comparable and relevant financial benchmarks. To make our financial benchmarks credible and valid, we need a bunch of completed surveys. So, printing company leaders, after receiving a survey invitation, please open the survey and complete it. Help us develop knowledge that will help you!
