The author of the insider book, Thomas Wieneritsch (48), has been active in the printing industry for almost 30 years – many years in the field of management and process optimization medium-sized printing companies. Following his apprenticeship as a lithographer and further qualification as an industrial foreman – printing (focused on digital media production), and then studied technical business administration in Cologne, Germany. Since 2003, Thomas Wieneritsch has been dealing with the topic of online sales for printing. As a speaker on "Online Printing – Answers For Local Printing" at the Online Print Symposium, he also had the privilege of working for FOGRA and bvdm.
From 2008 to 2010, he was active as a purchasing agent for a large German entertainment company (€15 million annual turnover) and had purchased €250,000 of print products there. His experience as an industrial print purchaser from this period was among the reasons for writing this insider book.
The author is currently working full-time as the Head of Online Printing at a Cologne-based printing company. Following exactly the same principle as described in this book, he set up a new, strongly regionally focused online print portal, which started in August 2014. Without any gang printing prices or low-cost flyers. Here again, to achieve the first top rankings in Google was just matter of few weeks. With his printing portal generating new contracts on a daily basis, the author proves that even a regionally oriented print shop can assert itself against the major online printing companies and can easily be integrated into the structure of classic regional printing.
