MyPRINTResource.com Quick Printing | February 2015 7 DFS Launches New Brand Positioning Following extensive customer research and the development of new products and services, trade printer DFS has announced its new brand positioning. Launched earlier this year, the rebranding effort capitalizes on DFS's mission to make it easier for resellers to sell more products and services as well as boost their overall value to custom- ers. The company's new tagline is: "You. Unlimited." "We talked to a lot of our existing and potential custom- ers," said president Fred Collins. "We were determined to fnd out what they needed to turn everyday challenges into potent growth opportunities, especially in today's envi- ronment. It was inspiring. We took that learning and are turning it into real, positive ideas that are already producing results for everyone." Among the numerous high-value products and services DFS has already introduced is a new website, DFSfullcolor. com. Resellers feedback reveals that they're impressed with the ease of ordering full-color materials at wholesale prices. DFS also recently launched Signature Packaging, a full-line of stylish, contemporary retail bags and accesso- ries that resellers can offer to retail businesses. These introductions were on the heels of other indus- try-leading product additions, such as High Security checks and an upcoming new online check payment option called eChecksPro. Next up will be a redesigned marketing por- tal, myDFShub.com, with sales and marketing tools that help resellers grow sales online and keep the DFS content on their websites fresh and compelling. Said an energetic Collins, "'You. Unlimited' isn't just a promise to our dealers. It's our marching orders."
