  "This is the perfect format that allows us to spend minimal time out of the office," says Rick Hardesty, president of Rowan Business Forms, Salisbury, N.C., and one of the group's founders. The association began in 1972, when employees at several forms plants along the I-85 corridor were competing intensely for business.A few plant owners met to discuss partnering options, and they quickly realized they shared common concerns."We learned a great deal just by talking with each other about new elements in the industry," Hardesty says.
  ...
  "No matter what, you always bring something back to your plant," Hardesty says.The group has exchanged ideas about controlling costs, minimizing waste, analyzing employee benefits and safety issues, and adopting new technologies such as RFID.Rowan Business Forms has used others' insights to adopt a more effective way to measure waste and a better way to test job applicants, he says.The Piedmont network often discusses insurance options, prompt-pay discounts, and efficient ways to use different plates and inks.Recently, all members completed a survey on employees' wages and benefits so a report could be compiled and discussed at the next meeting."Some of us used the information and made adjustments, and mostly it was beneficial to see what pay ranges were common in this area," Hardesty says.
  ...
  Rick Hardesty, president of Rowan Business Forms, Salisbury, N.C., joins other industry pros in his region each March to discuss common problems and goals.He helped to begin the Piedmont Forms Manufacturing Association in 1972.

  According to the firm's president, Rick Hardesty, CDC, Rowan uses traditional mail for invoicing.

  With the exception of rare repeat orders, "no two orders are ever the same," Hardesty says.The one common denominator is that Rowan's products carry consecutive bar coding or variably imaged information.Rowan produces some color work on web presses, and it produces forms and integrated pressure sensitive products requiring special die cutting capabilities. Although Rowan has upgraded its prepress systems to accommodate PDF files and advanced desktop publishing needs, most files it receives can't be opened without some troubleshooting, Hardesty says.Customer education is important because graphic artists usually understand the design and creation side of publishing software but have limited print production knowledge.And, relatively speaking, some customers are simply more tech-savvy than others. According to Hardesty, it's impractical to assume you can implement a common system when products are unique, uncommon and offer high degrees of specialty. Be More of a Marketer

  "A new idea, product or capability can be shared at seven cents per sales call," Hardesty says.Not only are fax machines cost effective, they rank second to the telephone as the most common piece of office equipment.Fax marketing is an effective tool and can serve as the initial customer contact.Based on fax responses, manufacturers can build those relationships via follow-up calls and email messages."It's difficult to track down a sales rep who spends his or her day in the field," Hardesty says.
