A Print Evangelist is someone who is enthusiastic about the print industry, a print perfectionist and someone who sees creative potential in all print projects.
It takes many years of experience to gain enough knowledge to become a Print Evangelist, but with 17 years under her belt, owner of Essential Print Services, Yvonne Gorman, can safely call herself just that;
“What I love MOST is knowing that the items I have printed are working REALLY HARD for my customers. To achieve this I discuss my clients’ requirements and help them plan what they really need.
I find out who their print is aimed at and how to get it to the right people. I can help work out postage costs and the all-important follow-up to any mail shots. I can suggest some ideas you might never have considered.
