There's nothing Marathon can't print to help enhance your marketing presence and build a stronger brand for your business.
PictureSwing by the booth early - it's going to be busy!
With IUSA kicking off in less than a week, it's the perfect time for you to think about laying out plans for the show, starting with Marathon! Yes, they're an SCU sponsor, but if you've followed me for even the shortest amount of time, then you know I don't promote any company or products I don't believe in and here's exactly why Marathon and their staff need to be in your network!

MAP - Their Marketing Advantage Program is the only one like it in the industry. Most of you are small businesses with limited staff. You don't have the luxury of a marketing department. Most of the time you're flying by the seat of your pants and have a hard enough time just trying to implement one promotion a year let alone an entire marketing schedule. Once you're in MAP, you've got an assigned facilitator who's going to do more than just work with you. Their facilitators take control and with your input keep you on point with regular calls, discussions and then implementation of the support you need to get the word out in your community! And that's only the beginning.

Bella Art Prints - It was a new product last year, and it's created more buzz than just about anything printed in the industry. Here's a chance for you to get affordable fine art quality at a reasonable cost, but you need to see it to truly appreciate it. I did a few of my prints this year as holiday gifts for friends and family as both Bella and framed canvases - I was NEVER disappointed!

​ALL NEW! Albums - Marathon so believes in the quality of this new product line, they're going to be giving away custom album samples. I know it sounds pretty impossible, but that's exactly what Marathon does. They stand behind their products and create quality concepts you can bring into your own business to establish a stronger presence. They also focus on helping you build profitability and build a stronger business model.

Marathon Literature: One of the biggest shortcomings for any studio/business is the quality of their printed material. I took the shot above last year at IUSA of a sampling of the versatility of their literature. From business cards to brochures, holiday cards, engagement announcements, postcards, stationery and even business cards, there's nothing Marathon can't print. But, until you see some great examples, there's no way to appreciate how much they can do to help support your business.

Heres' my point - just put Marathon on your "dance card" and trust me. Make it a point to stop by early on. You won't be disappointed, and I can promise you plenty of ideas to help you raise the bar on ways to reach your target audience, increase your margins with cost-effective products and present your images in a way that exceeds client expectations.

See you in Atlanta!
