We value Bernd Zipper as an accomplished partner with a distinct clarity of vision. This combined with his likable personality, high degree of e-business print know-how and large network of contacts were key factors in enabling us to achieve our objectives.
What Bernd Zipper is doing for the online print industry and the global printing industry as a whole is awesome. Zipcon today has become a connection point for every decision maker and stakeholder in the industry. This is not just good for everyone, it was what the industry need at the moment.
Always a good-humored and popular guy – a networker, who is at home in the online print world, who patently feels comfortable in this environment and is held in high esteem. In his presentations, which are liberally peppered with facts and figures and to some extent with provocative statements and challenges, he attempts to waken the print community from its deep slumber. I think the speed at which he delivers his presentations is his way of saying that time is of the essence!
I regard Bernd Zipper as a very proficient and far-sighted online marketing go-to person. Given his experience and knowledge, his likable personality and optimism, he can point people and companies in the right business direction.

Few people have such a profound understanding of web-to-print and e-commerce as Bernd Zipper, and somebody, who can encapsulate their knowledge in terms that anyone can understand, is even rarer. A visit to the Online Print Symposium is highly recommended.
New inspiration, specific strategy recommendations, substantiated methods and implementation examples: zipcon consulting played a significant advisory and mentoring role during Longo’s repositioning process, going about its work systematically, professionally and displaying astuteness and insight. We look forward to a great working relationship in the future too.
Bernd Zipper’s refreshingly critical approach enables him time and again to highlight what’s new in e-business – and in doing so he does not have any respect for tradition, which is a real positive. This approach helped him to provide me with valuable “input” and plenty of food for thought.
I have got to know Bernd Zipper as an all-rounder, who is very much at home on the stage. His visionary yet critical, yes sometimes even cynical presentations capture your imagination. He is able to articulate his e-business print, web-to-print and online print experience with clarity and precision.
In his blog articles he asks interesting questions and rubs salt into the wounds of the print industry without really mincing his words.
Without Bernd Zipper the online print industry would lack a figure of authority. He is the guy, who observes the market and brings the main players together – and his passionately felt objective is always to promote and enhance online print and e-business.

Bernd Zipper has a very good view and opinion on the fact that added value applications make the difference for Print- and Marketing Service Providers. I have been evangelizing added value applications for many years and therefore had a positive click with Bernd directly after our first meeting.
Bernd Zipper is always a key asset. I not only value his vigilant gaze beyond the usual horizon, but his down-to-earthness above all, which gives the insane dynamism in our industry a structure that people can get a handle on.
The way Bernd passionately talks in his publications about e-business print, is frankly inspiring. I see him as the reference in this field. The Belgian W2P.pro project takes many inspiration from the insights shared by Bernd.
