4 Ways Print Partnerships Can Save You Time and Money
Your business, like almost every business, needs paper products (like brochures and letterhead) to build and strengthen their brand. Between graphic design, production pre-sets and regular re-orders, keeping things organized can be a challenge. Consistently partnering with the same printer and forming print partnerships can make things significantly more efficient and convenient for you and your business.
Below are four ways print partnerships with a professional printer like Minuteman Press Calgary Shepard for the long haul can save you time and money:
Collaborative Process
You have your own unique needs. A professional printer can work with you to design and print materials that are right for your business. Printers can make a difference through graphic design services, brand building creative, or by securing branded promotional products (like magnets, notebooks, or water bottles). Printers serve as true marketing partners, often costing less than you would pay to individually produce or order all these items.
Flexibility
It’s likely you don’t have the time or capacity to develop high-quality print marketing on your own. It is vital to consider a collaborative partnership with a print and design company. A professional printer can easily adapt your designs or logos to work for professional booklets and brochures, banners and flags, letterhead and business cards, presentation folders and flyers, and more.
Craftmanship
Quality craftsmanship is paramount in printing. The skilled, tenured experience of a printer’s staff ensures your projects receive meticulous attention to detail, seamless color matching, and superior finishes. By working with a printer, you benefit from an experienced eye, a skillful touch, and unrivaled personal service.
Competence
Competence and quality are often the most important factors in weighing your print options. Although it can be difficult to evaluate these before you’ve worked with someone, there are several indicators to look for from any print partner:
- Request to see samples of past jobs done for other customers
- Inquire about areas of specialization
- Ask if bundled pricing or services are included
- Ask if shipping and/or delivery is included
- Inquire about the quality control process
- Inquire about the communication process
- The make-up and size of the team
- The make-up and diversity of the print equipment
- Typical turnaround time for specific jobs
- Environmental standards
- Proximity and availability to your location
Post-Press
Your time is valuable, so making wise choices is of utmost importance. Taking time to enter a print partnership that maximizes your investment is well worth your consideration. Often, choosing the right printer means you are beginning a relationship that will last for years.
