A Guide to Navigating Economic Headwinds and Capturing On-Demand Growth to be held October 15
GelatoConnect has just released its “Peak Season Playbook,” an essential strategic guide for Print Service Providers (PSPs) and e-commerce Creators preparing for Q4 2025—the peak season for the industry. The detailed analysis examines the complex global landscape—dominated by the dual pressures of economic uncertainty and caution as well as heightened consumer expectations—and identifies actionable “plays.” The objective is to equip businesses not merely to survive the annual Q4 rush, but to master it, turning unprecedented challenges into unparalleled opportunities for profitability and market leadership.
The session will help print businesses develop strategies to cope with two seemingly contradictory trends:
- A global economic environment characterized by slowing growth, persistent policy uncertainty, and rising trade tensions, and
- Increased consumer demand for hyper-personalized products, veri?ably sustainable manufacturing processes, and near-instant grati?cation of seamless, rapid ful?llment.
58% of global consumers state they are willing to pay more for eco-friendly products. Meanwhile, the global POD market is projected to surge from $12.96 billion in 2025 to $102.99 billion by 2034, representing a 26% CAGR.
How can printers optimize their businesses not only to cope, but to take advantage of these trends?
Join us on Wednesday, October 15 at 1 p.m. ET, as industry analysts Richard Romano and Richard Bellamy present the highlights of Gelato’s Peak Season Playbook, including:
- How to navigate the global economic climate with resilience.
- How to contend with complex, changing, and often contradictory consumer purchasing behaviors.
- How to take advantage of a changing ecommerce environment, especially as social platforms become full marketplaces.
Attendees will also get a look at GelatoConnect’s new AI Estimator, an online tool that allows users to get precise job estimates in 15 seconds and deliver customer-ready quotes in under 5 minutes.
