What do event managers do when they're not running events? Well we seem to spend a considerable amount of our downtime printing the contents of endless delegate packs.
Maybe one day soon all conference documents will be downloadable from event specific websites (clients willing) but in the meantime we rely on our pair of trusty Brother printers.
The only problem is you've got to constantly feed them with paper and ink or else they make a dreadful electronic bleating noise.
Anyway, I wanted to tell everyone about the wonderful people at PrintCartridgeDirect who supply cheap, great quality compatible ink cartridges for all the major printer brands.
A week or so ago they alerted us to the fact that they were having a buy one get one free deal for all orders placed that weekend and so we went online and ordered a stack of cartridges for our stationery cupboard. Unfortunately they never arrived and so after leaving it a while to allow for any backlog caused by their generous offer, I called to query our order.
I didn't have to argue or plead at all and after checking that the original order had been dispatched they said they'd send it out again. Sure enough, the next day we got all our cartridges. That's great customer service and I know you all use ink so do try these people out.
