Mark Potter is a true professional in our industry. The association I have had with Mark has shown his knowledge and passion for the print industry. He has truly developed a magazine that is in touch with the times we engage in today and, in my opinion, is the only reliable source we have in the industry that provides us with updated, day-to-day experiences that we all encounter. From CSR, sales representative to owner and any other managers in between, there is always relevance in the articles that touches anyone in the printing industry. With the vision and growth potential that Mark sees for the future he has definitely positioned himself and his products as a leader that we will all turn to for future endeavors

If you're looking for a way to reach the printing community through an advertising vehicle, Mark Potter and Canvas will get you excellent return on your investment. Canvas ads have built awareness and produced sales. As I travel across the country, I ask people who have heard about Canvas. Hands go up and I recommend it to all those who haven't yet subscribed. Canvas blends practical advice with education, and Mark helps all advertisers make the most of the real estate with good advice and creative suggestions.

I whole heartedly encourage all print-communication sales professionals to subscribe to Mark’s niche magazine, Canvas Magazine, and his weekly eNewsletter, Canvas Notes. Mark offers great tips; pragmatic tips and advice from industry experts with definitive goals in mind: increase professionalism, improve the value, and increase the sales for the printing industry. Being a sales professional, sales coach, trainer, and now the director of national sales team, I am always suggesting sales people read his publications. It is a great pleasure to have Mark as professional friend.

Mark has several qualities that set him apart from many in the paper-distribution business. The two that come to mind as I write this are: 1. His ability to connect with and understand the market and not get caught up in traditional mindsets when creating solutions. 2. His ability to build a diverse, high-performing team that can be effective because of his ability to clearly communicate his vision. The printing community is lucky to have a champion like Mark on their side.
