Case Study: Air Force Association’s CyberPatriot saves 120 hours a summer and grows revenue with Mimeo

Air Force Association’s CyberPatriot saves 120 hours a summer with Mimeo

The Air Force Association's CyberPatriot program faced a significant operational challenge in managing materials for its national network of summer camps. Their previous process, relying on a traditional offset printer and a separate vendor for t-shirts, consumed 120 hours each summer for logistics and became unsustainable with remote work. The CyberPatriot staff needed a solution from vendor Mimeo to streamline this burdensome process.

Mimeo implemented an on-demand printing solution and a branded online Marketplace storefront. This eliminated upfront bulk printing, allowed for document updates, and let camps order directly. Mimeo now handles all printing, shipping, and invoicing, including for custom t-shirts. The solution saved CyberPatriot 120 hours annually, lowered costs, eliminated waste, and even grew revenue through a markup feature, allowing funds to be reinvested into the program.
