SAN JOSE, CA, Dec 17 (MARKET WIRE) --
Printer.com (www.printer.com), an independent online printer and
cartridge shopping resource, has announced the hiring of Bob Crum as
director of U.S. Operations. Since his hiring in October 2008, Crum has
managed the acquisition of more than a dozen online affiliate retailers
to provide consumers and corporate buyers a comprehensive shopping
resource to purchase printers and cartridges.
Launched in December 2008, Printer.com is an independent research and
shopping channel that utilizes its own database of more than 4,400
printers and 1,600 cartridges, providing consumers price comparisons to
determine the true cost of a printer over time. Based on usage variables
entered by the user, Printer.com provides a 5-year cost snapshot of each
printer, with the ability to connect consumers to authorized online
merchants to complete the purchase. Supplementary cartridges can be
researched and purchased as well.
"Bob's decades of marketing and sales experience are a highly valued asset
to Printer.com and its mission to provide the most complete informational
online resource to find printers and cartridges," said Marcel Borgman,
International Director and co-founder of Printer.com. "His stellar work
ethic has already paid dividends with the acquisition of numerous
affiliate merchants participating in the Printer.com online merchant
program."
Crum's career spans more than 30 years in marketing and sales roles for
Fortune 500 companies, including Hewlett-Packard and Sun Microsystems. At
HP, he led numerous product marketing, direct and channel sales and
industry analyst relations initiatives. In addition, he participated in
the startup phases of HP's commercial computer sales, support and
marketing program in Europe. After HP, Crum assisted in the launch of the
Sun Partner Advantage program for Sun Microsystems in the Asia-Pacific
and Latin America channels.
"With budgets tighter than ever for businesses and individuals right now,
Printer.com gives consumers a new tool to save money, providing a
long-term and bigger picture scenario of what a printer will actually
cost," Crum said. "We see Printer.com offering the consumer the tools and
