GCA Industry Survey
Please Take 20 minutes (or fewer) and complete the GCA’s annual industry survey, developed and conducted by Cleveland’s MPI Group. You don’t need to be a GCA member to participate, though you do need to be either a publisher, retailer, sales rep. or affiliated company (such as a printer or paper company).
All respondents who complete the survey will receive the results and an analysis; no identifying information about the respondents will be included. The deadline for completing the survey is February 28. If you know of other companies that would like to participate, please share the survey link. Thank you!
