Printavo sells you software and still expects you to find a printer and a marketing team. MAD is the actual print shop, the software, AND the marketing -- one Dallas vendor end-to-end.
Printavo(R) is shop-management software. You still have to BE a print shop to use it. MAD is both: a 20+ year DFW print shop with DTF, screen printing, banners, signs, apparel, and promo -- with software that runs the shop and a marketing team that brings in the orders.
Printavo Standard caps you at 5 users; Growth at 10; Enterprise at 20. Adding seats above your tier means upgrading the whole plan. MAD does not bill on seats -- bring your whole crew, including casuals and freelancers, on the same flat subscription.
Printavo helps you quote, schedule, and invoice. It does not get you customers. MAD bundles SEO, ads, reputation, listings, AIBV, and print marketing collateral -- so the jobs going through your shop are jobs we helped you win.

Both. MAD Monkey Media has been a Dallas print shop for 20+ years running DTF, screen printing, large format banners and signs, apparel decoration, and promo. The software runs the shop; the bundle includes us doing the printing if you want it (you can also keep your own production -- the software works either way).
No. Use MAD shop-management software with your in-house production exactly like Printavo. The bundled print-fulfillment angle is an option -- great for overflow, oversized jobs, or services you do not offer (DTF, signs, banners).
We replace it with a Lumise + WooCommerce store on WordPress -- managed for you, faster, more customizable, and SEO-friendlier (since WP outranks SaaS subdomains). Migration of products + brand is included.
Most shops cut over in 10-14 days. Parallel-mode for one business week ensures no open job gets dropped during the switch.
The MAD shop dashboard mirrors Printavo conventions where possible (kanban-style job board, color-coded statuses, quote-to-invoice flow). We run a 90-min training session for your team and stay on call for 30 days post go-live.
Yes -- that is the bundle. We run SEO content targeting your service area, manage Google Ads + Meta Ads, build your Google Business Profile, send review requests, and track your brand visibility in AI search (AIBV). Print shops typically see lead volume double within 90 days when marketing is actively managed instead of neglected.
No seat tax. Bring your whole team, including casuals and freelancers, on the same flat subscription. Printavo Standard caps at 5 users; Growth at 10; Enterprise at 20. MAD does not cap.
Yes. We pull live pricing and inventory from SanMar, S&S Activewear, alphabroder, and other major decorator vendors so quoting is instant and accurate.
You can. MAD offers shop-management standalone if you only need the software side. The bundle math just gets stronger when you let us replace the outside marketing spend too.
Full export of contacts, jobs, quotes, invoices, and customer history in standard formats (CSV, JSON). WP store data is yours -- you can keep the WordPress site running on your own host. No proprietary lock-in.
