New Service: Print-on-Demand Visitors Brochures
The SEMICON West visitor brochure program is getting a makeover for 2008. This year, SEMICON West exhibitors will be able to order and customize visitor brochures utilizing a new "print-on-demand" service. Exhibitors will be able to order their brochure copies via the web through a dedicated online store, choosing from different brochure and postcard design options. The online ordering process will also allow you to customize your brochure copies with a logo and booth number, plus you'll be able to upload your address list and ship your brochures directly from the printer.
The print-on-demand online store will be available beginning in April. Be sure to look for the special instructional email next month. If you have questions about the new print-on-demand service, please contact Mike Droeger, director, Global Expositions Marketing, at mdroeger@semi.org.
