Meet Our Customers: Lakes Marketing and Print

A Customer’s Perspective on Automation and Growth

For print shops looking to streamline their operations and boost efficiency, automation can be a game-changer. PlanProphet’s CRM and automation platform is designed to do just that. We recently spoke with Rick Ayres, President and General Manager of Lakes Marketing and Print in Spirit Lake, IA, to hear how PlanProphet has helped his business grow and stay connected with customers.

Leveraging Automation for Growth

Rick shared that the automation tools PlanProphet offers have significantly improved their day-to-day operations. From automated invoicing to staying in touch with dormant accounts, the platform helps Lakes Marketing and Print maintain customer relationships and ensure nothing falls through the cracks. “It’s like having another employee on the payroll that you’re not really paying,” Rick mentioned, highlighting how the automations provide constant support for their small team.

Why Lakes Marketing and Print Chooses PlanProphet

Rick’s story is a powerful reminder of how automation can help print shops thrive, especially in a competitive market. The platform not only helps Rick’s business keep operations running smoothly but also helps them stay top of mind with customers, thanks to automated email sequences that lead to repeat business.
