"We're honored to sponsor this important event that assists the Red Cross and the people of Haiti," said JD Gardner, Founder and CEO of ZenPrint. "As a Utah-based technology firm focused on marketing solutions, we're also delighted to help bring such a well-respected thought leader to the local business community."

The event is scheduled from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and Godin will speak at noon. Tickets are $30 and will include lunch. There will be exhibitor tables and networking opportunities. To purchase tickets, and for more information, go to http://www.startupprincess.com/sethgodin.

Godin's presentation will be surrounding the messages from his new book, "Linchpin: Are You Indispensable." 200 copies of the book will be available to attendees at a reduced price.

"His overall presentation will be about being 'indispensable' and 'mattering,' by making a difference in your work and your life," said Kelly King Anderson of StartupPrincess.com. "The charity event really matches Godin's message. We are really excited that the two have come together."

ZenPrint recently formed a partnership with Network for Good, a non-profit that helps other non-profit organizations easily fundraise online.  The partnership will allow charitable organizations to utilize ZenPrint’s platform to enhance and drive fundraising initiatives via print-on-demand products. 

"Empowering charitable organizations to increase their reach, awareness and fundraising options online is an important way we hope to make a difference in time," Gardner said. "Through partnerships with organizations such as Network for Good coupled with our direct efforts, we aim to benefit many causes, communities and non-profit organizations."

The Add a ZenPrint Product wizard allows you to choose from any of the products in ZenPrint's product catalog and submit your Indesign file to ZenPrint.  This easy to use set up process allows you to quickly turn on new print products in your store.

This award culminates a year in which ZenPrint was recognized by the Utah Valley Entrepreneurial Forum as one of the fastest growing companies in Utah, and by Inc. Magazine as one of the fastest growing software firms in the country. ZenPrint was also recently recognized by Utah Business Magazine as one of this year’s High Tech 10 - an innovative company worth talking about.

“It’s been a great year for ZenPrint and the Utah 100 award helps solidify our position as an emerging (SaaS) software-as-a-service innovator,” said JD Gardner, Founder and CEO of ZenPrint. “Our team feels like we’re now just starting to hit our stride and believes we’ll be able to keep up this kind of momentum because of the scalable on-demand print platform we’ve developed.”

Traditionally, entrepreneurs and businesses that want to set up an e-commerce site have the following options: use an out-of-the-box solution like Yahoo! stores or Café Press, find a development firm to custom build it, or try to build and maintain it in-house. These solutions each have drawbacks related to cost, time-to-market, functionality and the overall look-and-feel of the site. In just a few years, ZenPrint has built a web-to-print platform that addresses each of these drawbacks and enables clients to easily setup and manage branded, professional e-commerce sites. As a core part of its solution, ZenPrint seamlessly fulfills any print, apparel or promotional products sold through these hosted sites on behalf of the site’s owner.
