Menus, listings, event programs and signage get reordered all year. DemandSwarm finds the businesses in your area that print regularly and writes to the person who places the order.
Hi Jess,
The River Arts spring gala is back for its tenth year.
Picture the programs, table cards and sponsor signage arriving together, proofed and correct, a week before the event.
I'm Sam from Ink & Anvil Print Co. We print event materials for nonprofits, with one proof round and delivery to the venue.
Would a quote for this year's gala be useful, or should I send samples from past events?
Sam

One-off jobs keep the presses busy; repeat buyers keep the business steady. A brokerage that prints listing materials every week or a nonprofit with an annual gala will come back if the first job goes well.
Those buyers are easy to recognize from the outside: their websites list agents, events, menus and campaigns. The swarm reads that and writes about the thing they actually print.
A swarm is one idea about who might buy, tested for real. Each runs on its own and shows its own replies, so you can see which kind of business is interested.
Marketing coordinators or managing brokers at brokerages with 10 or more agents.
Production managers at marketing and design agencies that do not print in-house.
Development directors at nonprofits that host an annual event.
A sentence or two, and your area. About five minutes.
It finds the businesses, picks the right person at each, and writes to them from what their own website says.
Interested businesses land on your board with an answer drafted. You take it from there.
Look for businesses that print on a cycle: brokerages, restaurants, agencies, event planners and nonprofits. Reach the person who places orders with a note about the thing they actually print. DemandSwarm finds them in your area and writes to them every weekday.
It varies: a marketing coordinator at a brokerage, the general manager at a restaurant, a production manager at an agency, the development director at a nonprofit. The swarm looks for the person whose work the printing supports.
Yes. Branded merchandise has many of the same buyers, plus companies that are hiring or holding events. You describe what you sell, and the swarm looks for businesses that would use it.
