Are we getting older or are print buyers getting younger? It can’t just be us, can it? Roughly 15 years ago, I remember when a PIA of Georgia staffer told me the buyer at Coke had been replaced by a 23-year-old girl. (Sorry. Woman! Big diff!)
Yesterday, I was talking to a print sales rep who told me a client’s response to his sales pitch was, “Word!” Not surprisingly, he had no idea what that meant (if you don’t either, use the Urban Dictionary and find out). Poor guy. He didn’t know whether to open up a new order or Microsoft Office.
