Glenn Siegele, Omega Design Corporation

This is a special presentation of PMMI’s Chairman’s Corner. Chairman Siegele’s next regularly scheduled appearance will be April 30.

What You Want, When You Want It

I’m pleased to present PMMIReports.org — the next generation of our PMMI newsletter.

A constantly-updating forum, PMMIReports.org will be home to information about our members and our industries — whenever you want it.

The online newsletter will link you to related content such as statistics, reports, videos and press releases to give you the context you need to get the most insight from the data.

What Will Change

Less Paper: Instead of a printed newsletter, we’ll send you the headlines in a dedicated monthly e-mail — usually on the last Friday of the month. This means fewer resources devoted to printing, postage and design, and more resources available for programming.

Improved Timeliness: With RSS (Really Simple Syndication) news feeds and placements in Just in Time and your network newsletters, we’ll deliver news throughout each month and we’ll send a monthly email to keep you up-to-ted on what’s new.

Convenience: PMMIReports.org is available all day, every day, for the latest.
Multimedia Content: Videos, photos, and more will be available to enhance your online experience at PMMIReports.org.

SEO: Improved Search Engine Optimization means more people can find PMMI — and as a result, Packexpo.com and your company.

What Won’t Change

News from the Industry: Member News and MarketTrends —two of the most useful sections of PMMI Reports according to reader surveys — will be updated regularly. (E-mail your company news to Matt Sedlak: msedlak@pmmi.org.)

News from PMMI: Certified Training, Tech Notes, Market Research, Global Marketing — the departments you turn to in PMMI Reports will all be just a click away on PMMIReports.org.

News from PACK EXPO & EXPO PACK México: News for exhibitors, news of the shows, tips and reminders for making the most of your trade show investments — you’ll find them at PMMIReports.org.

Most of all, it’s the commitment to our members that won’t change.
Resources like CNN.com, MSN.com, NewYorkTimes.com and PMMIReports.org deliver what paper and ink simply can’t: Dynamic content, archives at your fingertips, connections and links for added context. It’s all about making bringing our members the news they need when they need it.
