The Engaging Brand

I can't believe that it is podcast 400 of The Engaging Brand podcast covering social media, business ideas and brand marketing tips

As it is a special milestone Anna Farmery invited Duann Scott from Shapeways to talk about how new models are developing which are different to the traditional business model - bringing the customer inside of the walls.

• How Shapeways are  working with the customer to design, build and sell their own ideas
• How they create a marketplace for small business and a test market for ideas
• How mass production is being overtaken by stock on demand
• How Shapeways is helping companies make a higher profit margin
• How consumers can think, make and sell their own ideas...now!...how Shapeways see the future trends of manufacturing
• Is 3D printing an online activity or will it lead to retails stores?
• How personalised gifts are changing from adapting a standard product to mass customisation
• Are we near to a factory in a kitchen with 3d printer and what is 3D printing?
• What are the legal implications of printing in 3d and the role of copyright in emerging markets
• Should business be looking at partnering with Shape ways or getting the emerging technology in house - new revenue streams for your business
• How the change in digital files has changed the music and film industry - and how it will change other industries in the future
