subject: Test Drive [print this page] Stay away from the web to print demo Stay away from the web to print demo
There is a huge diff between a demo, and a test drive. With a demonstration, the demonstrator, or sales person, is in control of the product and the performance. You are only seeing and experiencing what they want you to experience. Even further, some demos are completely spliced videos. A video demo eliminates any shred of reality and integrity that the product may have had. On the other hand, lets look at the test drive. No sales guy can ever manipulate the true experience of behind the wheel of a product. You have your hands on the controls. Your foot is on the gas. You can tell where the engine misses, and where it runs like a well oiled machine. So why is it that one web to print solution provider offers a full test drive, while others only have a demo? Many exude big talk in all of their press and their website yet will not allow a prospective customer to see the actual product. PrintSites, on the other hand, wants the prospect to get in the drivers seat. What does this test drive look like? A printer can see for themselves every aspect of the operation. They can see how easy it is to affect pricing, to create promotions and to upload products and templates. The printer can personalize the test drive storefront and make it their own, then take it live upon signup. While testing, customers can use a test credit card number to order online. Then they can go so far as to add it to their queue, and fulfill the actual order, testing every step along the way. A PrintSites test drive demonstrates to the print store owner that PrintSites is indeed a complete end to end web to print solution. The end user creates the design, and then orders online. The print shop owner will fulfill the pre paid order, and then send to the destination. Every step has been well thought out, including preflight, because PrintSites was developed by printers, for printers. Avoid demos. Grab the wheel of PrintSites and take a test drive.
